Falcon Photo

For the Black Background project I tried many things out and this was my favorite. When taking pictures we messed with the camera changing the shutter speed, ISO, and F-Stop. It worked when the ISO was at 200 and the shutter speed was less then 1/100. Because the shutter speed is how much light is let through you need a low shutter speed. It didn’t work when ever there was too much light or too little, you needed the perfect amount of light. To edit the photo’s I used Adobe Photoshop and changed the saturation and messed with the curves. The link to the rest of my photos is here:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/UlmsAdfVErwWQ9Hn1

This week in class we took photos and edited them into black and white. We stood in front of a black background and used chairs and other items as props. On the camera we used the manual setting to make the photos dark and changed the ISO, shutter speed and f-stop. We used external lights to make the light come in from different angles. After we took the photos we used Adobe Photoshop to edit them. We messed with the curves and light levels. I also changed the hue and saturation.

In class this week we have been working on a project. In this project we were told to take a picture on a black background. While taking a picture we had to shine a light on the person’s face to create a shadow. We also had to adjust the ISO, shutter speed, and F-stop in order to take this kind of picture. After taking the pictures, we were told to go onto the editing software Adobe Photoshop. On Adobe Fireworks we lowered the saturation down to  -100 so the picture would be black and white. After that we adjusted the picture to make the lighting just how we wanted it. Then the final steps were to add our logo and upload it to google photos. During the process of taking pictures I figured out that it didn’t work to be in a lighted room, and that you needed to be in a dark room. I also figured out that you need to try to shine a light in different places each time until you find the best spot for that person.

In order to complete this project you have to mess with the shutter speed, ISO, and the F-stop.  To make this photo look good other her choosing her pose, you have to mess with the lighting, what your background is and be able manipulate the place you are putting the camera.  With the light right below, above or pointed from the top corner to give her a side lighted face. Having no lighting would definitely not work because then she would blend in with the background and would not be visible.

My favorite picture that my friend Liza took and edited is the picture below because of the highlights that the filter added.

In class this week, I had to take a picture of someone with an infinite background and edit the photo. This is a picture I took of my friend, Reese, and it is one of my favorites. Throughout this project there were some challenges, such as finding good lighting and making sure the pictures were clear. I had to make the the ISO and shutter speed were at the correct setting. The easier things about this project was taking the picture and editing it. I edited my pictures using Adobe Photoshop.  Click here to look at some of the other pictures I took…

This is one of my favorite pictures of me. It was taken by Reese.

The process to get this photo was not super hard. You had to change the camera settings to make sure you only got a specific amount of light. Some camera settings were shutter speed, that helps you get rid of light in the pictures to make it look cooler, that one helped a lot.  Then, put the extra light somewhere to create a cool shadow effect. Some things that worked it that to put the light close to the picture and then Photoshop it out later on. Some things that didn’t work is when you were too close to the camera so then you had a shadow on the wall.
