WEEK 4

Monday

Today was our second photography class, we got our second assignment where were instructed to take pictures that tells a story about us. We learnt about the various shots, we learnt about the micro setting which is used for taking pictures of really small objects, we learnt about the shots that can be used such as silhouette, this is basically taking a profile shot of a person, when the subjecct is behind the light and in front of the camera. Birds eye view is when a shot is taken from way above and the images so the images look smaller. Worms eye view is the opposite, that is when an image is taken from below, when this is done the subject looks much larger.


Wednesday

This week we worked on photoshop some more, this week we learnt about layers. Layers are necessary because it makes it easier to work with. Layers also help persons correct major errors. We also learnt how to merge and lock layers.
when merging layers we learnt that you have the option to merge down, this is when the all the images from the one selected downwards and selected and turned into one layer.
merging selected merges only the messages that were selected, that could be every other layer. or the first three or last three.
Merge visible merges all images with the eye icon visible.

Grouping

grouping helps when you are using a lot of layers, the designer groups several layers he now has the option when blending.
Blending
Blending modes gives the designer flexibility, the designer now gets different looks and feels.
