Photoshop Eye Colour Edit


BEFORE
AFTER



On this photograph I changed the eye colour of the female. To do so I zoomed in on the eye area, and then selected the magnetic lasso tool. I highlighted the outline of the eye with the lasso tool and then clicked alt and highlighted the outline of the pupil. I then clicked on layer on the toolbar, then new adjustment layer and then clicked hue and saturation. I then ticked the colourize box and played around with the colours until I reached a colour I was satisfied with.

Photoshop Wrinkle Corrector



For this photograph I successfully took away the wrinkles on the females face. To do this I opened the picture in photoshop and selected the heal brush tool. I then held down the alt key whilst left clicking the mouse on a piece of skin that was near the area where the wrinkle needed to be removed. I then slowly kept clicking over the wrinkled area ontop of the wrinkle, slightly above and slightly below continuously changing the skin tone to keep it looking as natural as possible, I continued this all over the face until all of the wrinkles were removed.

Shutter Speed Photographs



Shutter speeds enable the camera to do lots of tricks with photgraphy. I can make people in photographs look blurred when walking so that it looks like they are running or freaky, it can make a photo of dripping water look like it is moving, it can make photos or writing on posters stand out off the page or look like it is moving and it can do crazy tricks such as make your name be written with a torch and caught in a single photograph. the possibilities are endless and it creates some amazing and weird photographs.
You would use a slow shutter speed for photographs such as using a torch to write your name, and you would use superfast shutter to photograph somebody caught in the air jumping for example. There are many shutter speeds to use to create different effects. 



The two photographs above did not come out very good, they are bad photographs which we got. These were taken when playing with the shutter speeds and the lighting, the first photo was taken in a half lighted room, the torch writing did show up still despite this, and even showed slightly red tones due to the plastic on the torch, that photograph was taken on a shutter speed on 4". The second photo was taken on a shutter speed of 6" and in a slightly darker room, that seemed to produce a better photograph however we did not make a clear statement using the torch.

Afterwards, we moved to a completely dark room with no lighting, and changed the shutter speed to 8" which helped us to produce a lot better photographs as it gave the camera time to capture the message written with the torch and clearly display this.

Composition Photographs



Tilt Position;
This photograph is well composed, it is focused on the foreground which is the model and is direct looking into her eyes which creates depth, also her eyes are in the top third which makes her look powerful despite being looked down on. I zoomed in slightly using the camera which focuses the photograph more on the model as she fills the centre of the photograph, focusing and zooming the photograph to the model was easy to use. I think this is a strong photograph.

Long Distance Shot;
This photograph is again well composed as it is a great setting for the photograph as it shows the surrounding area but still focuses on the model. I zoomed slightly to get the photo in the correct position in the frame and so that the model was easily recognised as if it was too far away they would not be the main focus point of the photograph. I also fiddled with the focus lense to ensure the model was focused on and the background was slightly less sharp but still in focus, this was fairly straight forward and easy to do. I think the things I could do to improve this photograph would be to have the model stood exactly and precisely in the middle of the page on the dotted line so that our eyes followed the line to her.

Frame Shot;
This photograph is well composed as it is in a great setting and cleverly uses tree branches to frame the model. I zoomed slightly so that the whole trees were not in the photograph and so that we could just see the specific branches needed in the photograph to produce the frame. I also used the focus lense to focus it on the model despite her not being in the foreground of the photograph. To improve this photograph I could have taken the photo from a different position/angle to achieve a sharper frame.

Medium Shot;
This is a well composed photograph. I zoomed on the photograph to ensure the model filled almost all of the page and so that it could fit the right body proportions to ensure it was a medium shot. I focused on the model herself by using to focus lense on the camera and blurred the background so that the model was the focus and centre of the foreground. I dont think there is much I could do to improve this photograph as it is to a high standard.

Close-up Shot;
This photograph is similar to the one of which is a medium shot above, it was taken after the medium shot and I used the zoom lense on the camera to zoom in on the models face so that it was a close up shot. Again I fiddled with the focus lense on the camera to ensure the face was focused and the background was slightly blurred to focus on the model in the foreground.

Rule Of Thirds;
For this photo I used the rule of the thirds to create the style and theme of the photograph. I chose to have the model stand so her eyes were in the middle/bottom third of the photograph to lack her of authority and power and so that she just looked normal and innocent and not a big, strong, mean character, that seems to have worked with the photo. I focused the camera lense so that all of the photo was in focus as for rule of thirds sometimes the background is also important however the model stands in the foreground therefore she stands out more and looks sharper.
