Motion Blur

Motion Blur

In the lesson today we learnt how to blur sections of a photo so that the image will show motion. In this case I used a photo that I had taken of my friend throwing an American football.



The first part of the process was to duplicate the layer. Then I used the  blur tool which can be found underneath the filter icon.  The blur tool allowed me to blur sections of the image and also dictate the direction.  When the blurring was complete I erased the ball on the top layer so that it revealed the blurred version underneath.

The basic analysis of images in art and design part 2

Analysing An Image Analysing images can help improve the description of a photograph. The best way to analyse photos is  by using the 5C's. which are Content, Composition, Context, Connection and Comment. this Particular photo shows a very dark and gloomy factory. with bits of rubble on the ground along with weeds and their is also a very overgrown plant centered in the middle of the frame. This photograph gives off a moody atmosphere as the colours are very murky and dark. another reason for the moody atmosphere is because their is no body in the photo all that is shown is a few weeds and some grimy brick walls.  But the photograph is very intricate. Because the photo was taken at around F9, the photo is very clear and you can see the crumbling brick walls that show a lot of detail. The composition of this photo uses the rule of thirds. I can identify this because the focus point is the greenery in the middle and the two vertical lines go down inline with the bric...

Joel Tjintelaar | Order

Joel Tjintelaar Joel Tjintelaar is an international award winning black and white photographer. I really like his work because of his architectural images.they are very pleasing to look at due to the symmetry within the photographs. After scrolling through his series called "looking up". i quickly realized that i am able to create very similar photographs. the way in which i will pursue this is by going to a variety of different buildings in and around london, trying to capture the symmetrical look from each structure.  How will i link this to joel Tjintelaars work? The key things i've noticed that i will need to include in the preparation to take my photos is composition. the main ratio used in Tjintelaar's work is the rule of thirds. to make sure that my photos will contain this particular ratio i will use live view on my camera which will  displays the vertical and horizontal lines on the screen. After the shoot, the most cruci...

Multiplicity

Multiplicity In the lesson we were taught how to create a multiplicity image. In order to do this we had to use a tripod so that the background would stay the same every time we took a photo. I decided that I wanted to get a shot that shows movement. I set a fast shutter speed of 1/4000. After taking the photos i edited them in photoshop. the way i edited the photos is by firstly stacking all 4 photos and then i clicked on the layer bar and changed the drop down from "normal" to "overlay".  I repeated this process another three times until I had the complete image. To finish off the edit I made the image black and white and increased the contrast to give the subjects more detail.
