notes from wk 5

producing quality images

  • make sure you don't touch the front or rear of a camera lens
  • this can make the light refract when the image is being taken making a warped image
  • UV filters can be purchased to help fix this!
  • also be careful when photographing outside - especially during windy days or rainy days
  • take care of equipment!!!!!
  • tripods ---
  • make sure it's lightweight so it's easy to carry and hold steady!
  • no tripod - remember the focal rule! (1/200 or 1/60 <-- second one better option)
  • use anything that can help you holding the camera steady!

working with photoshop
  • when using bridge - can open any image in the raw window even if it is a jpeg!
  • to do that select the image(s) you want, right click and click on the raw option in drop down menu!
  • with colours in photography - R.G.B (red green blue)
  • 0 of all 3 = black
  • 255 of all 3 = white
  • photoshop is not a tool that is used to fix mistakes!!! get it right and correct with the camera when taking the shot!
  • use photoshop to ENHANCE our images
  • photoshop = pixel editing program = can damage/destroy the pixels
  • worked and learnt about masking/montage images in photoshop
  • open images that you want in photoshop in separate windows --> drag one on to the base one --> layer > mask layer > hide all --> click on the masked layer (black image) in the layers palette --> use white paint brush to reveal moved image/use black paint brush to re-reveal original image! TA-DA!!!!
