The document discusses an evaluation of photographs taken for a final photography project. The photographer took abstract, landscape, and portrait pictures with a Canon 600D using factory settings. The photos were then edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5, using tools like vibrant and color correction to enhance colors and bring the pictures to life. Through this project, the photographer learned new skills like camera angles and how lighting affects photographs. Examples are given of editing done to two photos to make one seem darker and enhance colors and clouds in another. The evaluation notes strengths in standing out details and personality in the photos but weaknesses in theme consistency. The photographer was pleased overall but would include more landscapes and precise editing for future projects.

1. Evaluation
I’ve decided to choose a multiple styles for my Final proposal. I took Abstract, Landscape and
portrait pictures for my final proposal. I did this because I like the variation in these different
pictures; I think this really brings my piece different perspectives in photography. My inspiration to
take these photos I did and edit them in the way I did was the area I was in at the time, this played a
big role in inspiring me because of the beautiful landscapes I was sat in. I took my photos with a
canon 600D and used factory setting with it, I then proceeded in to edit these photos I took in Adobe
Photoshop CS5, this where I really bought out the life and colour in my pictures. I used the vibrant
tool and the colour correction tool to edit my photos; this is because I wanted to bring out certain
colours in my pictures so that they could have a certain feel to them and really make them stand
out. I have learnt new skills using the camera, I learnt what sort of angles I would need to get a
certain kind of effect on my photo also I learnt how lighting can affect the look of a photograph
drastically by the way you view it. These are my pictures I took:
For example for this picture: I used the focus tool on the camera and on
Photoshop I used the brightness tool to make it seem dark when
the picture was bright.
Another example this picture: For this picture I used the colour tool so
that it brings out the blue in the picture also the vibrant tool it bring out the
shapes of the clouds more.
I think my strengths in my photographs is that they all have things that stand out and that they bring
the photographs to life and add a personality to them. They also have a certain colour in them that
makes them stand out. My weaknesses in my photographs are that I need to make sure all of my
photographs make sense with the theme that I have chosen.
I am pleased with all my photographs that I have taken apart from the sepia one; this is because I
think this photo would’ve been better with more colour. The photos have not turned out the way
I’ve planned; I planned these photos to be more landscape.

2. I have improved as a photographer by I take pictures of things and start to correct the image to get
what I want out of it. Also I have learnt more about the things that make a photo good and bad for
example the aperture levels. If I did this project again I would try to include more colourful images
and edit them more precisely.
