This document provides an overview of photography and post-processing. It defines photography terms like aperture, shutter speed, ISO and the exposure triangle. It discusses the three main types of photography: landscape, portrait, and documentary. It also covers basic photo editing techniques and explains the workflow of post-processing, which includes fine-tuning RAW files, converting to common formats, and mixing files for creative results. The document outlines how light, direction, color temperature, and shutter speed impact images and discusses using white balance and filters to affect lighting.

1. MODULE 8: PHOTO
IMAGING AND POST
PROCESSING
Week 7-8

2. Lesson Objective:
 Define photography terms and the effect each adjustment
has on the image;
 Make basic photo edits and keep image quality;
 Learn the workflow of post processing.

3. Photography
 is an art form like drawing and painting
 use their camera to make us see life in a different way, feel emotions, and
record stories and events
 Painting with Light”
 a science, because there are basic principles of physics that govern success
and Photography is art because its beauty is subjective.

4. The world’s first photograph
 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.
 from the upstair’s windows of Niépce’s estate in the
Burgundy region of France.

5. There are three basic types of
Photography:
Landscape
Portrait
Documentary

6. Landscape Photography
 photograph of the environment
 the forest, mountains, oceans, or your backyard.
 photograph of the outdoors

7. Portrait Photography
 is a picture of a person or animal that shows an emotional connection.

8. Documentary Photography
 tells a story without changing the facts
 . It can be a portrait or landscape.
 good documentary photograph makes you wonder the
story behind the picture.

9. Exposure
 how bright a photo is as it saved to your memory card.
 Light
 Shutter speed
 Aperture
 ISO

10. Photographic Triangle
 aperture,
 shutter speed
 and ISO.

11. Aperture
 size of the hole in the diaphragm that allows light into the camera
 The larger the hole, the more light that enters the camera in a given time.

12. Shutter speed
 The function of the shutter mechanism is to admit light into the camera, and
onto the digital media or film for a specific length of time.

13. Lighting
 essential ingredient of photos
 One of the skills that separates photographers from snap
shooters is the ability to solve lighting problems
 There are two primary factors to consider for light
 Direction
 and Color.

15. Lighting – Colour
 measured by temperature in Kelvin (° K).
 Natural light changes through the day and humans respond
psychologically to different colours, therefore the colour
of a photo will affect emotional responses.
 Light that is in the reds, oranges and yellows is said to be
“Warm”, conversely, “Cool” light is blue in tone.

16. Fast Shutter Speed

17. Slow Shutter Speed

19. Lighting – Colour
 the while balance setting of a camera will affect the
colour cast of the image, balancing the lighting of the
subject.
 Typical while balance settings of a camera include
tungsten, florescent, shade sunny, cloudy, flash, auto and
manual.
 Filters can also be used to affect the colour of light in the
image

21. Post Processing
 is process of editing the data captured by camera while taking the photo to
enhance the image.
 data captured during clicking of photo better is the enhancement possibility

22. various stages of post processing based on
what is the final result that one wants to
achieve.
 Fine tuning of RAW file.
 Converting RAW file to easily readable formats like jpg/png/tiff.
 Editing of jpg to remove unwanted features.
 Mixing of various files to achieve creative result.
