Unit 8 Photography

During this lesson we began editing Raw images on the adobe Lightroom app and we learnt how to use features such as the brush, colour editing, and healing brush. All these features can be used to make a picture become more clean and exciting.  In this image, I began by using the Healing brush to get rid of the flowers that were cluttering the space on the photo. You can see where I have changed the image as there are circles that have been left in place of the flowers. I can easily get rid of these Aswell by pressing 'O' on my keyboard. After this, I used the paint tool to paint out the beach and sea. Doing this allowed me to change the colour, exposure, and saturation of this section of the picture. I desaturated the beach and sea which made a huge contrast towards the colourful greenery. I then did the same with the grass but lifted the saturation which furthered this effect.

M2  I have been commissioned by the Doncaster Council to take photos that show the beauty that is hidden in Doncaster. This will result in me interacting with people in public spaces. This is my report about the legal and ethical considerations that I will need to follow when shooting outside in public. If I do not follow these requirements, I could potentially cause harm to people or damage the equipment I am using.  Legally, I am allowe d to shoot  outside  in public. It  isn't   illegal  to film or capture people in shots as long as they are in a public space.  If I am taking photographs from private land, you need to have the land owner's permission. With this though, there are many ethical considerations that I would need to consider before taking pictures of people. I do not want to capture photos like Bruce  Gillman as he purposefully gets close to peoples face in order to capture a picture that shows the shock and the chaos of a busy city in New York. This is very uneth

Explain the purpose of my photoshoot  -I have been comitioned by the council to capture a lot of beautiful areas that are hidden in a town that has garnered a lot of bad press. I will use areas such as the giant painting on the wall near the bus station, this is a great area that shows the progress that Doncaster has undertaken and how it has used something like graffiti to its advantage in making Doncaster a more beautiful area.  Moodboard  I plan to use the styles of Documentary and Urban landscape to show the Beauty of Doncaster.  Plan 10 photos -A photo of the giant painting on the wall near the bus station/ I will stand at an angle which shows the best view of the wall. I would then take a landscape photo of the picture. I could take it from either inside or outside the French-gate, I will try both so that I could get the best photo.  -The church that is near the town centre/ This is a very old place in Doncaster that holds a lot of history, I could shoot here to capture how Beaut
