 Second texture I have added at the side , and  blended it in using ColourDodge on opacity 71%.

Levels

Levels

After downloading your image form the camera I have opened the image in photoshop to change the contrast of the picture to have more control on it to do it i have used levels (cmd l ). 

By holding the alt key on the keyboard and changing the white or the black on the levels window I could see what and where I am changing the light and control it.

Open in photoshop + Selection tools

Selection tools in photoshop are used when you want to 

edit the picture, change colour shape or 

copy and remove something from the image.

To open a file in photoshop there are two ways of doing it dragging the image onto the photoshop icon on the screen or file + open .

To open my image i have use the dragging method.

 This is the image I want to use my selection tools on . 

 Im using Rectangular Marquee tool to select the area on the image .

To change the selected area  to the outside selection I have used Select + Inverse .

 To make the image look more creative I'm going to make the outside of the selected backgraund white by deleting it. Select + Modify + Feather  

 

To delete the outside I have pressed DELETE and set the contest to white.

 

 This is the final image.

The final members of this group are the Single Row Marquee Tool and the Single Column Marquee Tool.  As suggested by the name, these tools just select a single row of pixels, either vertical or horizontal. They can be used for adding straight lines or a border to an image.

 

 

Mini Brief - Street Photography

Mini Brief - Street Photography


To Produce a series of images fitting the theme of Street Photography. Record ambient sounds, from these you will assemble a slide show.

 

To complete this assignment our group met  in rainy Manchester city centre to go and take some pictures of the life on the street , I have managed to take some pictures but I didn't record any sounds as I got lost somewhere in town .

 I have  put a slide show of the pictures from Manchester City Centre without sound :

Nature

Because I got really poorly that was the barrier for me to complete this task , and the deadline wasn't that far away I needed to go out and do as much as I can even thought I wasn't feeling really well, I decided to go the park just behind my house and record the sound of the nature. I took the pictures of the ducks but to get their attention I had to feed them at the same time as I was taking the photographs.

I have edited the pictures in Photoshop by changing contrast on level on all of them, till I was happy with the result.

Baby Girl

For this project I have had a lot of different ideas but i wasn't sure with one I want to use  so ,I have used the opportunity of going to Warrington to see my goddaughter and as I took a lot of pictures of her , I decided that she will be my subject for the mini brief. 

While doing this I had so much fun but I still managed to get some work done.

 

 

Image1 : Still Image

 

In this picture I have changes the brightness and the contrast of the red background so it doesn't stand out as much. I have also changes the levels and the curves to make the picture look more vibrant.

 

Zuzia is 5 months old and who loves moving around so to get a still image I've changed settings on my camera to :

1/64sec; f;5.0 ISO:800 

 

 

 

Image 2 : Flash

 For this picture I have used flash, because flash was too strong for her eyes she also moved, so it added a movement to the picture.

I have edited the picture in Photoshop by changing the brightness and the levels.
