Unit 29 Analysis of final images

This image is of a young boy and girl talking and walking through the chaos, I took this photo in Bradford city park on the 8^th of August at 3:46pm and I took this image because these two subjects seemed very joyful and interesting. For this image the techniques I used was depth of field and lighting, I created this by focusing on my two subjects with my 75-300mm this is because with a longer lens zoomed in it blurs the background and foreground of your picture. For lighting I just used the natural light source, the sun. My shutter speed was 1/250^th, my aperture was f/5.6 and my ISO was 100. After I took this shot I then went in to light room and edited the brightness and contrast by 10% to highlight my light and darker areas more. I also edited the vibrancy by 5% because I wanted my photo to be more vivid and cropped to my liking. 

I had no problem with the editing process therefore once I edited my photos I was quite pleased with the outcome.With taking the photo itself the only problem I encountered was not having a tripod, this is because a couple days before my shoot my tripod broke. The way I overcame this problem was having a hand grip so that my photos weren’t going to come out as shaky. I think this photo represents the theme well because you have all things summer packed in to it from the weather to the children playing.

If I did this project again I would plan differently because these six photos are all from the same event and I think next time I would like to have more variety with my pictures, so I can show a broader representation on summer.

This image was taken in Bradford city park on the 8^th of August at 3:46pm. This photo is of a young girl who was shouting to her brother to come in the fountain with her, the techniques I used was depth of field and lighting, I created my depth of field by focusing on my subject, using an aperture of f/4.5

and my 75-300mm lens. My shutter speed was 1/250^th and my ISO was 100. For my light source I used the sun which worked perfectly as you can see it reflecting on my subjects face and body. After the shoot I went in to light room and edited my brightness and contrast by 5% just to make the picture stand out more and contrast pop the colours better.

 I also edited a vibrancy of 5% to make her swimming costume and clear skin stand out better. I then cropped my image to my liking.  With this photo I edited it two separate times due to the colours, this is because I was unsure if I wanted more vividness or not. I came to the conclusion that the photo only needed a slight edit.

There were no other problems with taking or editing the image. I think this photo fits my overall theme of what I’m trying to represent in summertime, which is children having fun on their holidays. If I were to do anything differently about this photo it would be to have changed my angle of it, this is because we see the left side of this subject and not full centre which I would’ve preferred. 

This image was taken at Bradford city park, on the 8^th of August at 3:48pm. The image is of a woman holding her baby walking through all the fun around her yet she seems sad. The technique I used for my third image is depth of field you can see I created this by using 75-300mm lens and an aperture of f/5.6. You can also tell that I used a shutter speed of 1/160^th because of the blurry child running across the photo, my ISO also stayed the same at 100. 

This photo I edited in light room only a little bit. I edited the brightness and contrast by 15% and vibrancy by 3% just to have a little more colour pop, I then cropped it to my liking. My photograph indeed turned out the way I exactly wanted it to, although I would’ve liked when shooting to get the woman dead centre instead of a little to the left. I encountered no problems unless you would call this kid running through the photo a problem but I think it worked out well with him in the photograph. I think this is probably my favourite image and it fits my theme perfectly this photo to me captures fun and summer.

This image was taken in Bradford City park on the same day August 8^th at 3:59pm. This image is of a little girl trying to sit on a fountain. For this image I used depth of field and lighting, I created the depth of field by zooming in to my subject with my 75-300mm lens and had an aperture of f/5.6.

 the shutter speed for this shot was 1/200^th and I had an ISO of 100. My lighting source was just natural light from the sun. After the shoot I edited my brightness and contrast by 5% and edited my vibrancy by 3% because I wanted to make the photo a little brighter to highlight the sun on her and to bring out all the colours on the photo. I also cropped the image to my liking. This photograph turned out very well although I would’ve liked to have had a more stable hand because the photo was very un-straight but luckily thanks to the cropping I was able to make it as straight as I possibly could. I think this photo represents my theme very well because you see her and all the kids splashing around in the summer heat.

This image was taken at Bradford city park on the 8^th of August at 4:09pm. The photograph is of two brothers swinging each other around as they try to shield one another from the water guns. The techniques I used within this photo are depth of field and lighting, to create this effect I used my zoom lens and an aperture of f/5.6. I froze the motion of the water and the children by using a shutter speed of 1/200, my ISO was also 100. I edited this image multiple times because of an issue that occurred but after I edited the images brightness and contrast by 50% brightness and 10% contrast. 

I also edited the vibrancy by a lot on my first edit but after my final edit no vibrancy was added. I also cropped my image to my liking. This photograph had quite a bit of editing issues after I saved very vibrant image over my original file this caused me to edit the photo two other times to fix the issue but you can tell still that it his face is very vibrant because of the previous edit. If I did this image again I would’ve framed my image a lot better and save my edits as a separate file. I think this photo represents my theme well because you see a lot of movement in the background and this all resembles fun with water in the summer.

 

This image was taken on the 8^th of August at 4:13pm in Bradford city park and the image is of a little boy running away from the fountain with his toy spider-man. The techniques for my final image is the same as the other ones of course, depth of field and lighting. I created this by using my zoom lens and aperture of f/5.0 I also had an ISO of 100 and my light source was natural light by the sun.

This worked well because as you can see the child, his toy and the fountain are in focus and the rest of the image is not. After the photo was taken I then loaded it up in light room and edited the brightness, contrast by 5% and vibrancy by 8%.

 I then cropped the image to my liking. This image turned out way better than expected because in my opinions all the settings are just right on it and you have that cool shadow on his stomach. Cropping was the only problem because the spider-man’s feet are cut out because I needed to cut out a background subject. This photo represents my theme very well because it shows joy and summer time with the sun and surroundings.
