UNIT 51: Task 1- My Mood Board on Photoshop

This is my screenshot of my mood board for my double page spread. This shows that I created my mood board using Adobe Photoshop CS6 editing, cutting and using various different tools on this software to make my mood board exciting and relevant. My mood board reflects my article for my magazine and you would instantly know what my article was about by looking at my mood board, a interview with a model who is into his skating, fashion and brands.

UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY Texture and colour

We were asked to take 5 photos for texture and 5 photos for colour and we had to edit them by only changing the saturation. This would make the photos more clearer and brighter to see. I have learnt by changing the saturation for all 10 photos that the saturation makes a huge difference as the ones without saturation on look boring and dull and the ones I have edited look alive, bright and exciting therefore it does make a big difference on the photo. I will remember this for next time I take photos and for my assignment. My favourite photo from the 5 from colour is the photo of the last flower photo. this is because it shows different colours and it is very vibrant and colourful. furthermore, my favourite photo for texture out of the 5, is the third photo of the purple chair over because you can really see all the tiny detail and stitching of it to create a weave effect.

UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- Texture/colour/shape

These are basic ways to enhance your photos

Texture
-focus on the form of the photo (the way it looks)
-e.g. trees, you don't have to capture them entirely
-isolate separate things e.g. leaves
-texture can product some fascinating pictures
-you can add texture later on

Colour
-choose colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel
-use contrast on contrast and saturation yo give a dynamic feel
-three primary colours (red, green and blue) give energy and impact to the image
-RED is ht strongest and can dominate a photo, even a small amount!!

Shapes
-used to make our photography stronger
-shapes can be real or made up
-looked beyond the obvious

OUR TASK:
Is to take 10 photos of texture and colour (5 of each)
If using a school camera, you need to book in advance

UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- What is Aperture?

'The size of of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken'
-When  you hit the shutter release bottom of your camera a hole opens up that allows your cameras image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene opening to capture

Aperture measure in "f-stops"/f-number

-Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount off opening in your lens and the amount of light getting through
-Depth of field is= the amount of your shot that will be in focus
Shallow depth of field= small part in focus
Large depth of field= large part in focus

-Some styles of photography requires large depths of field (and small apertures)

Large aperture - portrait photos f2.8 to f5.6
Small aperture - landscape photos f16 to f32
