- 4. Olivia Singleton Image 9 Themeor focus of image & reasons for choice Theme and focus for all images and reasons for choice – for this images my main focus was architecture in Salford and although within the course we were expected to take pictures of Salford quays, we were allowed to go and take pictures of other architecture, with that in mind I did go and explore other places including china town in Manchester town and of course Manchester town centre itself, but I came to the conclusion that media city in Salford quays was the best place to take pictures of architecture as most of the buildings are newly developed like the BBC and ITV also the old buildings like the lowry which was built in 1999 so they’re very nice buildings and a lot of history went on there so it wasn’t just the buildings I was capturing it was also the history. Techniques used In these photos I used the manual setting with all the images because that’s what we were instructed to do by our tutor, also I used the slow shutter speed so to capture all the light in the frame, because when it’s dark and you take a picture with fast shutter speed you will notice it doesn’t capture everything in the frame, so I used a tri-pod and slow shutter speed of 10 seconds and it worked out perfectly. Strengths & suggested improvements I think a few strengths in these images are the time of shutter I used, if it would’ve been any slower it would’ve been too bright and if I did it any faster it wouldn’t have captured everything that I wanted it too. I really like the way I’ve edited them in
- 5. Olivia Singleton Photoshop butwith a few images I went over the top and added overlays of drastic things like a moon behind a building and stars so in the future I won’t go so dramatic with overlaying if I want to do that. I think image 9 is too strong on terms of colouring and lighting, it’s also badly edited because I added an overlay of a sunset to go behind the building as it was so dark to begin with I wanted to add character to it but ended up overdoing it. With image 7 it’s different to all the rest, it was a test shoot in my garden but I like the way I’ve edited the dirt off the walls and to begin with their were clouds in the sky so it looked gloomy, I wanted to change that with a nice overlay. I really like the night lighting in image 6 because I didn’t go overboard with correcting the brightness, so it looks very centred and nice. Editing details When I edited my pictures I pretty much edited them all the same on terms of lighting, contrast and saturation, I added overlays to most of them but on a few like image 4 and image 9 I went overboard with the overlays and spoilt the pictures, I ruined image 4 by adding a moon in the background of the building and I badly edited the moon itself so it looks very materialistic and unnatural. With image 7 I used the clone tool to correct the marks on the wall so to make it look cleaner. With image one I used the dodging tool to make the lights on the bridge lighter and then used the burn tool to saturate it.
