My Digital Photography Class
Unique Angles
Unique Angle: Taking a photo with the camera in non typical angle usually adds interest to the photo. The photo’s I took wouldn’t look good if I had taken it in the usual straight forward shot.
Tinting
Tinting: When you tint a photo you can completely change the colour of it,
even if it wasn’t that colour originally. You go on Photoshop and desaturate the photo you want to tint. Desaturate it, and add a new layer ( name the layer something like skin, flowers, hair, etc.). On the new layer is were you tint the part of the photo you want to change, use the paint brush tool and change the opacity to around 35% ( it could be higher or lower depending on the colour you want it). Use the eraser tool to fix the edges of what you were colouring. Make a new layer for every new thing you’re going to colour.
Clone Tool
Clone Tool: To use the clone tool, you first have to
unlock your background layer and zoom into the area you want to get rid of. Then click on the stamp tool and check to make sure the hardness is about 70%. Click the area near in and press Alt while you click the area. Then let go of Alt over the area you want to get rid of. Then you can pretty much just go from there.
Changing Eye Colour
Changing Eye Colour: 
To change the eye colour of someone in the picture, first you should zoom into the
eye area and use the elliptical marquee tool. To do both eyes, you have to hold down the shift button. Then, go to image, adjustments and pick hue saturation and pick use the hue to choose what colour you want. If your working with a dark picture you might want to adjust the lightness aswell. Then click select, then deselect and your all set.
Ciny Sherman
- Sherman typically photographs her self in a range of different costumes/ clothing.
- She began painting at Buffalo State College, but she abandoned painting and took up photography instead, she said ”There was nothing more to say through painting. I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead.”
- She also worked as a film director.
Below are some examples I did.. they’re not as great as hers, but you get the idea, you take pictures of yourself in different clothing/ costumes and different scenery.
(The brown dot on my back is my birthmark)
Light
Glow Stick Lights:
Blue Green and Yellow Lights
Blue Pink and Green Lights
Green Orange and Purple Lights
Green and Blue
Orange and Pink
To take these photo’s, You just have to wave glow sticks around in front of a camera while in a dark room. Also the camera settings should be on 10 seconds for TV mode.
Stained Glass
Stained Glass:These are stained glass photo’s that were taken inside a church near by my
school. The one on the bottom right is worth about 1 million dollars! I used ‘distort’ on Photoshop to bring the pictures forward from the less appealing slanted look. Turning your camera vertically is best for taking these pictures.
