Transferring photos to computer

Description A found example Your exampleBefore/After

Composition: framing Trees create a natural frame around the marble arch

Lighting – Fill Description Found example Your example

(before / after)

Fill lighting is used to ‘fill’ in the shadows created by a very strong Key light.

3.

Shutter Speed – Fast Description Found example Your example

(before / after)

The shutter speed is how fast the shutter opens.

When the shutter speed is fast the image is likely to be more crisp as it doesn’t allow long exposure to the light.

3.

Shutter speed – Slow Description Found example Your example

(before / after)

When the shutter speed is slow the image is likely to be blurry as it has more exposure to the light.

3.

Composition – Angle/Perspective Description Found example Your example

(before / after)

Taking photos of an object from different angles and perspectives changes the audiences view of the object.

E.G Low Angle – makes it seem as it the object is

3.

Transferring Photos to Computer Description Found example Your example

(before / after)

There are various ways to transfer photos to computer such as:ConnecterUSBSD CardBluetoothE-mail

3.

Light – key – high/lowDescription/purpose of tool

Annotated screen grabs Your annotated example ( the result) before & after

High key lighting is when the photograph is flooded with light but doesn’t mean overexposure.

Low key lighting is when there's not much light which gives it a strong contrasts.

• High key light is harsh lighting

• Low key light is allowing minimal light

• High key lighting in the first image

• Low key lighting in the picture next to it

2.

Shutter speed Description/purpose of tool

Annotated screen grabs Your annotated example ( the result) before & after

The purpose of shutter speed is the length of time a camera’s shutter is open when taking a photograph.

• Fast shutter speed captures photo in a split second• 3rd image has an

extremely slow shutter speed which gives it that effect

Slow shutter speed

2.

Shallow focus Description/purpose of tool

Annotated screen grabs Your annotated example ( the result) before & after

Shallow focus is where the depth of field is smaller keeping only one plane in sharp focus.

• Middle ground is in focus

• Background is out of focus

• Middle ground is in focus in contrasts with the other grapes in the background

2.

Composition – rule of thirds/powerpoints

Description/purpose of tool Annotated screen grabs Your annotated example ( the result) before & after

Rule of thirds is 1/3 of ground and 2/3 of sky.

• The subject is placed not in the centre

• Rule of thirds is present in this image as it has 1/3 of sea and 2/3’s of sky.

2.

Lighting: OverexposureDescription A Found example My example

Allowing too much light on the photo, making the image seem whitewashed, this is often used by photographers to hide blemished skin

1.

Lighting: Underexposure

Description A Found example My example

The surrounding has minimal natural light which casts a shadow unto the object which makes the features unable to stand out

1.

Lighting: Good exposureDescription A Found example My example

the perfect balance of light and shadow

1.

DiffusingDescription A Found example My example

Diffusers are used to make the harsh light softer when the light reflects unto the object. Once the picture ahs been taken the lighting of the image appears more natura.

1.

Description A Found example My example

Deep focus is when the whole frame shows detail

Deep Focus1.

Composition- Leading LinesDescription A Found example My example

Natural lines created in the photographs used to create a visual composition. ( leading lines doesn't have to be always straight

2.
