Camera Equipment.

The camera equipment I will be using for most of the assignments on the blogsite would be my Sony DSLR outfit, the A350, A100 with the 16-80mm Carl Ziess lens and the 70-300mm SSM "Super Sonic Motor" G series lens  where it  is necessary.
The exception to this if I do studio work there I will use the college Equipment.

  

Evaluation

Equipment used was the Sony A350 with 16-80mm lens and the software used was Adobe Photoshop CS5.1

I did not came across any problems to speak off.

I am please with the work I have done and I would not change anything.

Research - Fantasy Landscape

Our last task is to create a fantasy landscape. It should consist of more than one picture which is cut and pasted together.  People like John Goto and Seung Woo Back are known for doing this. See images below.

None of the above images represent actual places. They are fake landscape - here the camera lies. Technically they have been made very well through cut, pasting and merging images together. 

Digital experimenting - Liquify

To liquify your image you need to select Filter and then Liquify. Following this you need to select an appropriate brush size and alter / move / liquify your chosen area. This tool i often used in fashion photography to slim or enhance a model. 

Image manipulations

To layer images on top of one another you simply copy and past one image onto another and then change the opacity in the layers box.

Adding a border

To add a boarder you need to select the image, choose Edit, Stroke, 20 and pick your colour.

Presenting the images

To present final images you need to make a new file, copy and paste the images onto the new file, change the size of the images and arrange them appropriately.

Renaming a file or a folder

To rename a file or a fold you have to select the number (at the bottom of the image) twice and simply call it whatever you wish.

Contact Sheet

To make a contact sheet you need to use Bridge. Once you have selected Bridge you then find your images, highlight them and select import. This then forms the contact sheet and you can save it wherever you want. 

Uploading Images

To upload your images you need to use Image Capture. You select this by searching for Image Capture using spotlight.

Introduction

We have six weeks to complete a Photoshop workshop. The assignment is marked against one unit 34 which we will be returning to after Christmas. At the end of it we are expected to produce a Fantasy Landscape where we will incorporate the skills that we have learnt. Our work is expected to be evidenced on a blogger account which we will make week 1.
