LO3 & 4 - Photograph Evaluation - Adobe Bridge

Ski Village Hand Stand

This photograph was taken spontaneously. I think I could use this instead of the living room photograph as lighting will not be appropriate. I used the Camera with a standard kit lens to take this photograph. As you can see from the screenshot above I used a small aperture. This has allowed me create a deep depth of field and have some focus on the background. Seeing as this photograph was spontaneous composition was not brilliant and means that the model is not positioned to the rule of thirds. To improve I will need to take this photograph again and position the model using rule of thirds. I think a strength of this photograph is the landscape in the background.

Ski Village Hand Stand

This photo consists of my model doing a handstand facing a landscape. I used a standard kit lens on the Canon 650 D camera. I will be editing this to make his body a white silhouette and then applying the thumbprint over the silhouette. This will mean the model can be the object of the photograph but also show the separation between the model and landscape. This photograph was taken as a landscape and has the model in the foreground and a scenic landscape in the background. I used a standard kit lens for this with an aperture of f5. This allowed me to have a deep depth of field and focus on both the foreground and background. I set the ISO to 400 as the sky had slight cloud cover and made the scene dark. The model is centred to the rule of thirds so focus is drawn to him. 

Burbage Brook Landscape

This is the photograph linked to my 'Landscape' sketch. I will be using and editing this photograph. I will be changing the brightness and contrast of the sky and applying a blue tinge to it. I will then be putting the thumbprint over the body of the model. I used the camera and a Fish-eye lens. I have centred the model using the rule of thirds as it will draw the viewers eye to the model. I used a small aperture to help show the landscape. I used a higher shutter speed as the fish eye messed up the light and meant to shutter speed needed to be quicker to improve lighting. The fish-eye lens allowed me to make the model look small compared to the landscape due to the lens allowing me to show more of the landscape.

Padley Gorge Landscape

I took this photo to see what the model would look like in a different location. I do not feel this photograph is what I wanted to show based on landscape. I used a Standard Kit Lens for this photograph which meant I did not show the landscape as well as I could of using the Fish-eye lens. The area was very bright so I had to change the settings to a faster shutter speed (1/1250). This reduced the amount of light being let into the lens.

Eye 

This photograph is a macro photograph using a macro lens. I used a Canon 650 D . I also used the flash on the camera for lighting. Using the flash will help me in the later stages of editing as it makes the iris create a very beautiful and detailed pattern. (Things removed about phone camera) I took this photo because I know eyes can be use for identification and also the iris has a very beautiful pattern I wanted to capture in a photograph.  The iris, pupil and sclera in this photograph is centred to the rule of thirds so focus is centred on those parts of the eye. I like this photograph as the detail in the iris is captured well and also can be edited easily to improve it. I will be adding more detail to the iris and also adding the thumbprint to the pupil.

This photograph does have a little to much light being shined into the eye meaning you cannot see the detailed design in the iris

Elderly Gentlemen

This is a portrait picture of an elderly gentlemen that uses a close up to show the age of the model. This is a useable photograph as the expression of the model and the focus are good and show details on the models face that help connote the age. This photo solely focuses on the model in the foreground and only shows a plain background. This will allow me to edit the background and place the thumbprints as like a collage behind the model.  As the room was quite bright I had to lower the shutter speed to allow less light in. I also changed the ISO to be less sensitive to the light. I used a standard kit lens to take this as I did not have a portraiture lens.

The photo is good for lighting and framing but I wanted a more close up shot of the models face to show the detail in his face.

Hacker

 

This photograph was taken using a standard kit lens. I changed the ISO so the sensor was less sensitive to light.  I also disabled the flash for this photograph as it was messing with the lighting. I used an aperture of f5.6 to focus more on the model than the background as I would have been editing this out in post-production. This photo is good due to correct lighting and framing. It centres the models head to the rule of thirds and also the computer monitor.

Hacker

This photograph was taken using a standard kit lens. I changed the ISO so the sensor was less sensitive to light.  The flash was enabled for this photograph and messed with the lighting. I used an aperture of f5.0 to focus more on the model than the background as I would have been editing this out in post-production. This photo is good due to the framing. It centres the models head to the rule of thirds and also the computer monitor.

LO3: Lesson Objectives

1. I need to take the rest of my ten pictures
2. I need to evaluate the 10 images
3. I need to edit the 5 final photographs
4. I need to talk about changes I may have made to certain photographs.

This fulfils LO3
