Assignment 3: Photography Research & Practice

L/O: to learn about photography basics and basic photo editing to make your presentation (for evidence of the processes and

technology)

A) PhotographyB) Photo editing

Page 2: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

For this task you will need….

• iphoto on your ipad! (its free now)

• There are other great photo editing programs too

Page 3: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Photography basics

Photography basics (production)• Lighting (various things) break up into parts• Shutter speed• Shallow focus / deep focus• Transferring photo’s to computer (file and iphoto)• Composition break up into parts

– rule of thirds– Powerpoints– changing angle/perspective– framing– leading lines

Page 4: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Dividing the work

• After watching the slides you will have to think carefully of how you are dividing the work

• Lighting is MASSIVE, Composition is BIG

• It is group, but you have to have understanding of all of these things!

Page 5: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Lighting

• Overexposure• Underexposure• Key (high key, low key)• Fill • Using flash• Reflecting/reflectors• Diffusing/diffusers

• When using iPad, rely on good daylight and cheap lighting (flood lights) and DIY reflectors

Page 6: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Flood lights

• Cheap and easy to get (hardware stores)• From 10-30 pounds

Page 7: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

underexposure

Page 8: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

overexposure

Page 9: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Good exposure

Page 10: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 11: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

underexposed

Just right

overexposed

Over under

Page 12: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Setting up lighting

Called: 3 point lighting system

Page 13: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

High key lighting: flooded with all light

Page 14: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 15: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Low key lighting: strong contrasts

Page 16: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 17: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 18: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Fill

Page 19: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Using flash

• Can’t rely on this alone• Too harsh of light (direct)• Often causes over/under exposure

Page 20: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Using direct flash

Page 21: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Linking filling and flash

• Using flash (or other light) can be a way to FILL

• (meaning filling in the shadows)

Page 22: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 23: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 24: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Diffuse

• Diffuse = disseminate, reduce, make less

• Because direct flash is so strong, you can DIFFUSE it to make it more soft

• There are many tools and techniques to do this

Page 25: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 26: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

More professional diffusers

Page 27: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

DIYdiffusers

Page 28: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Natural diffuse

• The leaves areDiffusing the light of the sun

Page 29: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Reflect

• Reflecting is another way to diffuse light • Basically light is reflected or bounced off another surface

(therefore making it less harsh)• The more light bounces, the less harsh it is• Different surfaces/textures/colours will reflect light differently

(shiny, opaque, translucent)

• .

Shutter speed

• How fast shutter opens• Slow = likely to blur• Fast = like to be more crisp• Motion blur– Motion blur type 1 (background is blurry)– Motion blur type 2 (object is blurry)

• Exposure– Long exposure– Paint lighting

Page 38: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

• Shutter is like eyeAnd eye lids of a camera

It is like how a camera blinks

Page 39: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 40: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 41: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 42: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

FAST SHUTTER SPEED

• Capturing split second

Page 43: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Very fast shutter speed!

Page 44: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Motion blur

• When something blurs because it is in motion

• This means it is going too fast for the shutter speed

• (object is faster than shutter)

• Type 1• Type 2

Page 45: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Type 1

• The objects are crisp, background blurry

• (moving camera)

Page 46: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Type 2: objects blurry

What does this create in photos?

Page 47: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Exposure

• Time of exposure = how long the camera is exposed to light

• Faster shutter speed = less light (and more likely to be darker)

• Slower shutter speed = more light gets in faster (more likely to be lighter)

Shutter speed and light

Page 49: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Long exposure at night (using tripod)

Light painting

Long exposure with light/flash

Page 50: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Shallow focus

• When have something in focus, the rest blurry• Limited on automatic cameras• When taking photos, tap for focus square……

or try with close ups• You can do this in editing (is limited tho) (blur

tools)

Page 51: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 52: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Deep Focus

• Everything in focus (automatic cameras)

Page 53: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 54: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Transfer photos from camera to computer

• How do you do this?• SD card – SD card reader• Cables• Bluetooth• Electronic transfers – email, sharing, social media etc• Cloud

• Uploading/opening them

• Think of the technologies involved in this process

Page 55: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 56: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 57: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Composition: rule of thirds

• Review rule• To make better photographs (nicer/more

pleasing to look at)

Page 58: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 59: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Composition: powerpoints

• In combination with rule of thirds; the AXIS points of horizontal/vertical lines.

• 4 available (where horiz/vert lines meet)• -theory argues things placed in powerpoints

make the best composition

Page 60: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 61: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Composition: angles/perspectives

• Try to photograph objects/places/people using different angles and perspectives

• The world becomes a different place!• The life on an ant vs life of a bird• This goes great with establishing

shots/montage editing for your introductions

Page 62: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Normal photography/shots

Page 63: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 64: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Try different angles!

Page 65: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

• Get low!!!

Page 66: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Composition: framing

• How you frame objects/people• Frame using unique angles• Positive space• Negative space• Is the space around objects appropriate and

comfortable for audience?• Does it show off the objects/characters

appropriately?

Page 67: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Yikes!

Page 68: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Good framing

Page 69: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Composition: leading lines

• Lines that lead your eye• Usually lines to lead your eye to an object• (sort of like a journey)• Create movement in a composition

Page 70: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills
Page 71: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

• Don’t have to bestraight lines…

Page 72: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

• Divide the work…..

• Make your powerpoint template….

Page 75: Assign 31   photography skills and editing skills

Photo editingBasic photo editing in iphoto (post-production)• opening a photo• undo (arrow) (bottom corner star - remove effect)• revert to original (page icon beside edit)• crop & rotate• changing colour• changing exposure (lightness/darkness)• brushes (repair, red eye, saturate, desaturate, lighten, darken, sharpen, soften)• effects (b&w, vintage, duotone etc)• auto enhance• rotate• naming, tagging• sharing: email, journal, camera roll, itunes, facebook, imovie, etc.

• If using snapseed or other programs = what tools/techniques can you used?
