Photoshop was used to enhance photos by removing backgrounds, brightening images, and editing blemishes. Different websites like Prezi, Slideshare, Emaze and Powtoon were explored for presenting research, with Pre
03 positioning action
Subject positioning is an important technique in photography that adds interest by placing the subject off-center in the frame, either slightly or dramatically to one side. Nearly all professional photos use subject positioning techniques. Subjects can also be positioned higher or lower in the frame. Following the rule of thirds guides photographers to place subjects and centers of interest at the intersections to create a clear focal point, though occasionally breaking this rule can also make for a good photo. Leaving more empty space in front of a subject that appears to be moving implies action and direction in the image.
Smartphone Photography Guide
Smartphone photography tips include getting familiar with camera features like tapping to focus, locking focus and exposure, and using framing guides.

Further techniques
Light writing is achieved by using light sources like flashlights in a completely dark environment to draw images and shapes, which are captured using long exposure photography on cameras mounted to tripods. The process involves drawing designs with the light source without shining directly on the camera lens and keeping the surroundings pitch black until the photo is taken to prevent light interference. Light writing images can then be lightly edited in post-production by adjusting light colors or backgrounds.
5. pre production
This document provides details for a pre-production photography project, including style guidelines, expected photo colors, potential editing techniques, necessary props and locations, contingency planning, health and safety considerations, and a proposed schedule.

Complete manual on photography
Photography evolved over time from early concepts of the camera obscura in ancient China. The first photograph was taken in 1826 by Joseph Niepce using bitumen plates. Louis Daguerre later invented the daguerreotype process in 1839, which used silver-plated copper sheets and mercury fumes to create detailed images. William Henry Fox Talbot invented the calotype process, using paper negatives, around the same time. These inventions launched photography as a new technology and art form. Early photographers documented landscapes, cultures, and events like the American Civil War. Advances like roll film and Kodak cameras brought photography to the masses in the late 1800s. Color photography was developed in the early 1900s.

This document provides an overview of photography basics. It defines photography and discusses why people enjoy photography. It covers different types of photography like portrait, landscape, and macro photography. The document discusses important photography tools like cameras, lenses, and exposure settings including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It explains concepts like depth of field and the exposure triangle. The document also covers composition techniques like the rule of thirds. It discusses different lighting styles for portraits and basic indoor and outdoor photography techniques.
photo compositions
The document provides tips for different types of landscape photography including shooting landscapes, different angles, lighting, sunsets, actions, hard-to-focus subjects, night photography, portraits, panoramas, macro photography, and creative shots. It discusses techniques such as using a tripod, adjusting camera settings, finding focal points, and capturing unique angles to create compelling landscape and nature photographs.
Evaluation for photography
The document discusses a photography project focusing on abstract images. The student chose this topic because they find hidden meanings in random objects and scenes. They were inspired by photojournalist Daniel Berehulak. Equipment used included a Canon camera, SD card, and tripod. Photos were edited in Adobe Photoshop. Some skills like using Photoshop needed refreshing. Both planned and unexpected photos were taken. The student was pleased with photos like a raindrop on a leaf but over-editing removed originality in one photo. Overall the project improved their photography skills and planning abilities.
Photo’s practise
This document provides photography tips and critiques three photos. The first photo effectively uses the rule of thirds but has too much background. The second "dirty shot" uses angle well to show the setting's effect but has too much head space. The third perspective shot focuses well on both subjects with a good use of head space.
What have I learnt about technologies from the process of creating Bezerk?
The document discusses the author's experience learning and using Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and improving photography skills for a school magazine production. The author gained experience with new Photoshop text and selection tools, learned InDesign for page layout, and overcame challenges shooting in low light by adjusting camera settings like shutter speed and ISO. Backlit photography was also a new technique explored through test shoots.
Photo tips
The document provides tips for photographing portraits including:
1) Position the subject in the center of the frame and only move the camera back and forth, asking the subject to turn rather than moving the camera left or right in tight spaces.
2) Use a clock to help direct the subject and keep positioning consistent, telling them to turn "clockwise" or "counterclockwise" rather than left or right.
3) Get to the subject's eye level for the most flattering portraits, which may require adjusting your height with a stool or ladder.

It discusses various techniques for composing quality photos including using the rule of thirds, framing shots effectively, managing lighting and exposure, and considering elements like color, focus and perspective. The overall message is that applying principles of composition can help one capture more interesting and visually appealing images.
What have I learnt
The document discusses what was learned about photography, Photoshop/InDesign, and the magazine design process. Key lessons include: taking multiple shots to find the perfect photo; the importance of the front cover shot and photo angles/settings; how costume, makeup, and setting impact photos. In design programs, the author learned basics of magazine creation, font downloading, photo editing, and using layers. Repeatedly making the magazine helped improve conventions and find the right theme, font, and color scheme through trials.
Depth of field
Depth of field refers to the area of an image that is in focus. Macro photography has a limited depth of field, and greater magnification results in a smaller depth of field. Portrait mode works best for taking photos of a keyboard because it uses a shallow depth of field, causing the background to be blurry. Depth of field is influenced by aperture size, focal length, and distance to the focus point.
Planning
Tom Haase is planning a photography shoot for a film cover featuring a lumberjack character. He will shoot at two locations - a college studio and nearby Knavesmire Woods. At the studio, he will take close-ups and full body shots of the model against a white backdrop. The woods provide a dense, wooded backdrop but may be dangerous at night. He has booked time at the studio on March 14th and plans to shoot outdoors on March 16th-17th, depending on weather. Both locations are within a 15 minute walk of his home. He will use props including an axe, shirt, hat and boots to costume the model as a lumberjack.

Photography Composition Tips w/ Zoe Prinds-Flash
The document discusses various techniques for composing photographs, including following the rule of thirds by positioning important elements along the thirds lines or intersections, balancing elements to avoid empty space, using leading lines to guide the viewer's eye, incorporating symmetry or patterns, considering viewpoint, managing the background, adding depth through foreground/middle ground/background layers or overlapping, framing with natural frames, cropping to focus on the subject, experimenting enabled by digital photography, and treating composition "rules" as guidelines rather than strict rules.
Evaluation 6
The document discusses the process of taking photos for a magazine article. It describes using a Panasonic GX7 camera in manual mode to take photos of the artist Lily Eve in her bedroom under red and blue artificial lights, experimenting with different shutter speeds, apertures, and use of flash.

What are you measuring in your life?
As creatives we always are measuring ourselves. Measuring against other churches, against measuring against other creatives and sometimes we get stuck because we feel we don’t measure up. Our lives are shaped by how we choose to spend our time and energy each day. Measuring can help us spend that time in better ways, more consistently. But we must measure the right things. Greatness in any field comes from taking a novel idea and pushing it to its logical conclusion, redefining the medium in the process.

The document provides guidance for making a video or film with little to no budget. It outlines the three main stages of filmmaking - pre-production, production, and post-production. Pre-production involves planning, organizing, writing scripts, securing locations and equipment, and building a cast and crew. Production entails actually shooting the film and following best practices for running a set, conducting interviews, and directing actors. Issues to consider during shooting include proper use of equipment, white balancing, focus, shutter speed/iris settings, and audio quality. Preparation and organization are emphasized as keys to completing projects on a limited budget.
