Photos

City Lights

Original.

Photoshop

For this picture i have not edited it a lot, all i have done is got rid of the white van by the cheese grater which was ruining the photo. I used the healing tool to blend the background of the car park on top of the white van to make it look like it was never there. I dont think it needs anything else doing to it but the contrast could be increased a little bit to make the blue lights stand out and frame the cheese grater car park.

Framing The Fountain

Original

Photoshop

With this photo i have changed the contrast of the photo making the fountains look like they are giving off light, that also attracts the audience to the centre of the photo. i have also used the effect of leading lines down the middle of the photo leading to the fountains. I have also used warp effect to make it look like there was graffiti sprayed on the floor. I did this to show they creative and digital side of sheffield.

Sheffield's Colour

Original

Photoshop

In this photo i have turned everything black and white to represent the creativity in children in Sheffield, that painting was done by a child in Sheffield and i think that this is important in this photo because of the different colours in one small place and everything black and white. I think that this effect works because it shows that out of everyone being normal and black and white, there is that one person that is different and creative. 

Children's Reflection

Original

Photoshop

In this photo i have used the child's painting but have put in on the silver balls in the peace gardens to give effect of a reflection. I think it shows how the architecture of sheffield is creative and i have also used photoshop to edit a creative image painting to show the digital side of the photo.

The Town Ball

Original

Photoshop

On this photo i have done a similar effect of the town hall in the reflection of the silver ball, i have done this to show the modern architecture against the old architecture of sheffield. I think that this represents the creativeness behind sheffield.

Graffiti Gardens

Original

Photoshop

In this photo i have kept in the theme of creativeness with the graffiti onto the architecture of sheffield. I have also used the feature of warping the graffiti onto the silver balls to keep in theme of my other photos. I think that this photo is set out well because there is 3 individual silver balls that are colourful from the graffiti and everything else is sort of similar so i think it looks creative through independence.

Leading The Way

Original

This is my original photo, I don't think I need to edit this photo, because I have used the effect of leading lines down the path which could represent creative feature to the photo. I have placed the camera at a angle so you can see the old Sheffield architecture framed by the new architecture in Sheffield. I have also increased the contrast and decreased the brightness so it attracts the attention of that audience to the light of the end of the path and the old architecture in the background.

The Grater Part Of Sheffield

The only thing i did to this picture is change the contrast and brighten to make the shadows darker and blue lights stand out more. I think that the blue lights against the modern architecture of sheffield. i also like the bright side of the building against the dark side because the light side is one colour but on the dark side you can see colours coming out for example red, orange, yellow and green.

Following The Fountain

Original

Photoshop

 For this photo i have used the leading lines again to lead the audience to the centre of the picture, i have again used the black and white effect to show the theme of independence and being unique when you are creative.

Watching The Water

Original

Photoshop

 For this picture i have put the model on the rule of thirds so you notice her but i have put her to scale against the fountain to make her look small, I think this shows that it is hard for one person to get into the creative and digital industry, again i have used the black and white effect to show the individuality in one person being creative.

Concept Description

In my photoshoots I have chosen to focus on sheffield in the night because when it is all light up, it shows the creativeness behind sheffield. It draws our attention to the design of the architecture around sheffield due to the light. I have captured examples of this with the fountains in the peace gardens and the statues around the winter gardens and the lycium theatre.

For my photos i have used a canon 600d with a standard lens i have used different  of angles for my pictures for example a long shot with leading lines and the rule of thirds i have also used others for example low angle shots and different styles of photography for example urban landscape, portrait and close ups.

Location

Props

I have planned to use the location in its natural state, without any need for external/extra props. This is because I do not feel that My images I am capturing needs any extra content. This is because I have planned to give my effect of the image after editing and just have a natural clean image captured at first. 

permissions

The building I was shooting in some of my photos was the cheese grater, I chose this because It does well to represent the creativity behind Sheffield and fits well with in my brief. If I were exhibiting these photographs in a public space I would have to seek permission from the owner to use that image. If they did not agree to that use of the building I would have to choose another location.

Concept description of approach

Intent to achieve a series of photography's that show creative and digital media using different methods and ways, such as looking at how the digital has changed from years ago to now throughout sheffield. Also looking at how sheffield can be creative without anything digital for example inspirational art work. I also want to show the digital behind the creative for example have a sculpture designed in sheffield nut overlay it with digital theme. and the other way around to show the creative behind the digital. I am going to use different settings around sheffield that have been effected by the digital and creative era we are in.

Annotation

CAMERA MODE: The camera mode is the P in the top left and side of the image. The camera mode effects all the settings in the camera, to make it best in the type of photography that you choose for example the settings on a camera would be different if you was doing close up macro photography and then landscape photography.

SHUTTER SPEED: The shutter speed is the 1/125 that you see in this image. the shutter speed is the nominal time for which a shutter is open at a given setting.

APERTURE: the aperture is the F5.6 that you see in the image. The aperture controls the photographic lens and can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or image sensor.

ISO SETTING: the ISO setting is the ISO 100 that you see the image. the ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography.

WHITE BALANCE: the white balance is the +/-0 part of the image. It defines what the color white looks like in specific lighting conditions, which also affects the hue of all other colors.

FILE SIZE: the file size is the part that you can see with a shape then a L next to it in the bottom right hand corner. File size measures the size of a computer file. Typically it is measured in bytes with a prefix. or in this case measures how big the photo is in bytes.

photo analysis

Leading lines

The Leading lines are the left and right side of the road leading all the way down to the end, where the horizon makes the ground meet the sky. It makes you want to drive straight down the road.
It makes you think that the road is endless and could keep going. When i look at this picture i see that the road goes on until the point where it looks like the sky meets the road. This is very effective towards the audience because it could make someone look twice at the illusion you see.

The wide angle photography style is used in this image to show that the buildings are large and important it is to make the person looking at the photo feel as if they are there and are alone and so small in the big world.

When he takes photographs he tries to frame the subject with the background they are in and he pays a lot of attention the that aspect of the photograph. He also is not that interested in the cameras he uses because he believes that the photograph depends on him not the camera. He does a lot of research to get the right location for his photo shoots and has used different settings, for example satellite dishes, farms, woods and country side.
