Section A
Lighting under exposure
What is it Found examples
My example before and after
• There is not enough light in the photograph.
• As a result photo appears quite dark and gloomy
• Under exposure makes it difficult to see the subject matter
• A photograph may be described as underexposed when it has a loss of shadow detail
before
after
Lighting Over exposure
• Too much light
• A photograph may be described as overexposed when it has a loss of highlight detail, that is, when important bright parts of an image are washed out or effectively all white
Before
After
Good exposure What is it A found example My example before
and after
•The lights are darks are balanced, creating very good lighting
• Image is clear and good quality
Before
After
Deep focus
What is it found examples My example before and after
•in deep focus the foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus.
• Deep focus is when everything in the photo graph is in focus, not just specific parts
Composition - leading linesWhat is it found
examplesMy example before and after
• Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image.
• Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye
Lighting – High Key
Description A found example My example
When artificial bright lighting is used to blow out most or all harsh shadows in an image
Source: http://www.ephotozine.com/article/high-key-and-low-key-lighting-tutorial-13881
High key lighting eliminates all shadows
Before
After
Lighting –Low Key
Description A found example My example
There is reduced intensity of lighting as a result there are strong contrasts in the photograph
Source: http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/05/13/black-and-white-photography-what-you-need-to-know-for-perfect-mono-pictures/6/
Contrasts with dark colour creates suspense and mystery
Before
After
Shallow Focus
Description A found example My example
Part of the photograph is in focus while the rest of it is focused
Source:http://www.luminouslandscape.com/techniques/3_years_later_dslr_video_one_mans_perspective.shtml
Blurred background suggests its unimportant and puts greater emphasis on the woman
Composition – Rule of thirds/Powerpoints
Description A found example My example
An image should be divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines and the important element of the image should be situated at the intersection of these lines
Source: http://digitalphotographylive.com/rule-of-thirds/
Object placed in the centre is the most important
Lighting - FillDescription A found Example Your Examplesame amount of detail typically seen by an eye in average lighting and considered normal. From that baseline of normality using more or less fill will make shadows seem lighter or darker than normal
•Brings more brightness to their face making it look natural•Where there’s a balance between over and underexposure •Fill lighting removes the shadows from the image and replace them with light •This makes the person look more healthier and presentable
•this is an image i took of my glass shoe •i used my normal room light to take the first picture•i then added an extra light to balance the light and remove any shadows to make the picture look better and better quality
Shutter Speed – Fast Description A found Example Your ExampleThe camera's shutter speed, the lens's brightness and the scene’s Luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor
Unfortunately I don’t have a professional camera in order to take an example of my own for a fast shutter speed example.
•A fast shutter would let less light enter the film or the sensor •This enables the camera to take quick pictures where you can see even the small detail such as the examples above•Can see the drops of the water and it would intend to be crisp •However if it was slow you would see the water running instead of drops
Shutter Speed – SlowDescription A found Example Your ExampleThe camera's shutter speed, the lens's brightness and the scene’s Luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor
•A slow shutter would let more light enter the film or the sensor •This enables the camera to take the picture more slower, therefore the background would be blurry while the objet is crisp or the opposite•for example if a water tap is running and the shutter is slow you would see the water running instead of drops
•however i don’t have a specific camera that has a slow shutter •so i tried making the background blurry while the main object is crisp and can see properly compared to the background which is blurry
Transferring photos to computerDescription A found Example Your ExampleWhen your able to view the same photo on a different device. This can be done by using a cable that connects the camera to the computer, or even use a SD card.
•by using an SD card, you can save the images on that SD card an access it wherever the SD card is connected to view the images taken•the cable connects the phone to the laptop to either to transfer the images or just to view them on the laptop
•i took a picture of my SD cards and memory cards which i am able to store my photos and transfer them or view them when inserted in a phone, camera or laptop•i can also view my photos or transfer them to a laptop using a cable that is connected either to a iPad, phone, camera etc to a laptop.
Composition – Changing angle/perspectivesDescription A found Example Your Exampleshooting from unusual angles, getting higher or lower, this would then make the image more interesting and more meaningful for example a baby would normally be small, taking a picture in a specific angle to make the baby looking small
•taking a picture in a weird angle would show the meaning of the picture, for example the Eiffel tower the angle of it shows that it really big •it would make the image look more interesting for example the wedding image
•taking the picture of my glass shoe in a low angle makes my shoe seem bigger •also by taking picture in a low angle of my sisters ready book gives an illusion of bigger and makes it seem theres a lot of books
Lighting - reflecting
Explanation Example images My images Reflecting is another way to diffuse light.
Light is reflected or bounced off another surface (therefore making it less harsh)
Different surfaces/textures/colours/ will reflect light differently.
Camera
Surfaces
ObjectWithout reflector
With reflector
Lighting – shutter speed motion blur
Explanation Example images My images When something blurs because it is in motion.
This means that it is going too fast for the shutter (object is faster than shutter).
Type 1 – objects are crisp, and background is blurry (moving cameras).
Type 2 – objects blurry (object is moving).
Type 1: The person is in motion so they have become so blurred out that they are hardly visible in the shot.
Type 2: When the camera follows the moving person, the background becomes blurred
Transferring photos to computer
Explanation Example images
Using iCloud – an online storage service you can send the image electronically.
SD Card – An SD card holding all your photos can be taken and inserted into a SD slot on your computer /laptop
Social Media – If the image is taken from your phone there are different options to send to your computer.
Facebook, Twitter etc.
Composition - framing
Explanation Example images My images How you frame objects/subject.
Frame using unique angles
Positive space
Negative space
Ensure that the space around objects are appropriate and comfortable for audience.

Effects
Before
After
Brushes - RepairDescription A found Example Your Example- This would
repair anything in a picture, for example it would repair any imperfections
- Such as spots, wrinkles etc
-In this example the repair tool has blended her imperfections (spots) into her skin and now it looks like she doesn’t have any
-I used iPhoto app to repair my image I used this app to all my brushes -I repaired the reflection from the sun on the sea, it almost acts like an elimination brush where it erases it.
Brushes – Red-EyeDescription A found Example Your Example- This would turn
the red eye into black eye
- A red eye would normally happen when the flash is on and taken in a dark place
- Well using a red-eye brush would solve the problem by turning the red eye into a black eye which replaces the pupil
-In this example of the red-eye tool-It would change the red colour into black -As it would change the red colour to the pupil colour which is black
-I used iPhoto app to use the repair tool -And it was very successful-i used my friend taking a picture with Miley Cyrus
Brushes – SaturationDescription A found Example Your Example- Saturation is
when it would tone up the image
- Makes it more warmer
- It also enhances it
-There is another way to do saturation without the brush where the brush just saturates part of the image chosen, whereas in the example above you can pull your finger up and it enhances it -In the second example it would enhance and add a rich effect on the image making it more presentable
-I used iPhoto app to use the saturation tool-By doing this it made me more tan and made me look more healthy with the saturation effect
Brushes – DesaturationDescription A found Example Your Example- Desaturation is
when it removes the colour in an image and changes it to black and white
-In the second example they used the desaturation to make it seem more gloomy and darker just by using the saturation effect-In the first example they used desaturation to give it an old like image
-I used iPhoto app to use the desaturation tool-It turned my image to black and white and it removes the colour from my image, you can chose how much desaturation you want it, can be either completely black and white or can have a little colour peaking through
Brushes
Example Explanation My images
The lighten brush makes the picture look a lot more glowing and makes it more clear to see.
The darken brush makes the picture look a lot more dimmer.
The sharpen brush makes
The soften brush makes
