Tims Assignment

Task 1



Bokeh effects 
Bokeh is just a out-of-focused image, you have to put your camera on manual focus, you put your F-stop low, you need to have a fast shutter speed. The further away you are from the background the better the image will come on. 

Vaseline effects
Using vaseline on your camera lens creates a soft focus effect, also to create the same effect you can use cling film, which gives you the same effect. Put your camera in manual mode and apply the vaseline or cling film onto the camera lens. Take a picture before you apply to show what it looks like before. 

Pin hole effects
If you get some tin foil and pin a whole in it, about 5 inches. Take a photo off the image before to show the difference 

Task 2




Vaseline/Cling film





Bokeh 


Pin hole effect


Task 3 
Gaussian Blur
This effect gives you the same effect as using vaseline or cling film, it is just alot easier and simple to do. First you have to open a photo to photoshop/gimp. Duplicate the layer, then click filters and 'Blur' and then Gaussian blur. Adjust to the one you want, and what you want your image to look like. 

Bokeh 
This effect gives you the same effect as doing in with the camera, it makes your images look out and blurred and using a paintbrush on photoshop makes the same effect and you can adjust it around and change it. 

Pin hole
The effect gives you the same as pin hole using a camera, you can adjust it as much as you like and change if you don't like it. 

Task 4 

My attempts:



The health and safety issues when taking these images are Tri-pod, as people can trip over it, or it can fall over, as it might be windy or might be in a busy place. Which can cause the tripod to be unstable. 


Task 5 
I am going to recreate these images.

My recreated images



Task 6
Showing Student Life


Task 7
I think that for my Task 6 went well and that the editing using photoshop went well, although to improve it i could add more images and have a variety of different edits for one single photo. I also think that Task 5 went well too, as they was just in incameracamera effects and was very simple to do. To improve my Task 5 i think i could add more different in camera effects and have different objects or places to take photos off. I think my Task 2 could be improved alot. I could have a variety off images using the same effects but shooting something different using the effect.

Task 8




These images are expanded on from the Task 2-4 using clingfilm to give a blurry effect. I did a few images in black and white which both had different shutter speed. The others was just on normal colour but making it blurry using clingflim.

Task 9
I would like to try out long exposures effect at night making the image look like dust/evening. I would like to learn about this cause the images look completely different from the original image, i will take a photo off before to show what it looks like before and then change the settings and write down the effects that are going to be used and then take the photo. You will be able to see the difference and know how to also do it too. I also would like to try how to do Panaronic Photography and take photos off a landscape , i would write about how to do to and say what locations I am using and present them with the photos taken. To do the long expourses i will put my camera on a slow shutter speed, using manual mode. Having the camera on a manual focus, i will change the settings in my camera menu to 'landscape' as the image will be a landscape image. I will take a photo before, then with the landscape effect on and then i will take the image using a slow shutter speed. Showing the different processes off it all. For the Panaronic Photography i will go to a place that looks over a place and then take photos around and then blend them together to make them look like one image.  I would also like to learn how to do Infrared photography as the images are different and the colours come out and make the images look not normal and extrodionary. Like the long exposures I will show what the image looks like before and take a variety off images using different effects and compare them all. Using a range off effects, shutter speed, ISO and changing the settings on the camera. Over all I will try these 3 different effects using different effects and showing what it looks like before and after showing the difference between the images and writing about what effects i used to create the images. If any off the images fail i will write about what went wrong and how i can improve on it. I will take serval different images for each off the effects i plan to do.
