Unit 8 Photography

I have created three folders for my product. The folder named "My folder" contains the ten images that have been edited and fixed my metadata. These are the images that I have chosen to use for my final product and can also be used for future employers or for universities. This means I will need to access the file through any device at any time meaning I will need to upload it to one drive of dropbox to ensure that I am able to access them outside of college.  The file stated Lightroom photos contains the JPEG of every single photo that I took for this unit. these can be used to show how I have improved as a photography, and how I have incorporated new skills into my work and used different settings for different images.  The file that is titled metadata contains screen shots that I have taken of each images metadata that I have edited to ensure I have full copyright of my image.  Screen shots of the inside each file. The file above shows how I have screenshot the metadata of

What is metadata? Photo metadata is  a set of data describing and providing information about rights and administration of an image . It allows information to be transported with an image file, in a way that can be understood by other software and human users. This allows photographers to include copyright data into their images, as to stop people from stealing their work and calling it their own.  EXIF Data. EXIF stands for 'Exchangeable Image File Format' and refers to  the basic metadata that is generated and stored by your camera whenever you take a photo . While  IPTC Photo Metadata standard is the most widely used standard because of its universal acceptance among photographers, distributors, news  organisations , archivists, and developers.  The schema defines metadata structure, properties, and fields, so that images are optimally described and easily accessed later .  For each image, I labeled a descriptive title that could be easily found. Furthermore, I added copyrig

 

  This picture was taken at a bridge on top of the Warms worth motorway. I set the image up using a tripod and stood slightly in the middle of the bridge, hoping to incorporate both sides of the road. I controlled the shutter speed and set it to a 10 second shot. I also tried to take some using a 5 second shot, and a 30 second shot. However, this shot turned out the best and showed more light trails from the cars. I like this shot as it shows how I am able to edit the shutter speed to create a really interesting shot that is pleasing and balanced. The way the lights and road curve lead the viewer into the rest of the image. The foreground of the image is mainly in focus, that is because the bright roads in the image stand out to the viewer. The combination of the leading lines rule and the bright colours contrasted against the otherwise dark image lead the viewer into the rest of the image. This makes it more appealing to the viewer as the image flows better into the background.      

This shot has been described as looking like an establishing shit for a movie. I rated this image 4 stars as I loved the reflection that the neon lights reflected onto the car bonet. However, I still believed it needed to be edited, to ensure it reaches it full potential. The image itself manages to capture the bright nightlife that is present in Doncaster and uses the rule of thirds to add symmetry to the image.  I only slightly edited this image as I believed the original image was very sharp and contrasted well. However, to make the image more symmetrical and play into the rule of thirds, I cropped it slightly to get rid of some detail that was un needed. I also increased some of the shadows while decreasing the highlights slightly, which made contrast   This image, of the church located in Doncaster town, was taken at night. I adjusted the shutter speed of the camera in order to achieve this shot. I wanted to present the church as this bright large building that and show the depth
