light room classic -filtering system

When using Lightroom Classic you are able to filter through your photos and choose the best ones for you.

You can pick and discard each imagine using white and black flags and with the photos you pick you are able to rate out of 5 stars then colour code with a red amber green system to decide which photos will be in final use.

This systems allows you to avoid clutter and becoming overwhelmed with too much to choose from.

In the image above is my catalogue after using the filtering system, as you can see i have a significantly reduced the amount of photos to choose from allowing me to make sure I have the best result.

Collections

Here we made a collection to help organise to allow me to find my pictures easier using the collections as if they are sub folders.

What is photgraphy?

photography is the art or practice of taking and processing photographs.

Photography

many factors may shape our response to photography this could include past experience and beliefs of our own which others may not share.

the meaning we ascribe to an image may come from how we are feeling or what type of mindset or past experiences we have since everyone lives a different life and may not a feel a certain way about an image due to not experiencing the same experiences as you. for example a war photo will give a greater effect to a veteran over a child’s which may be naive and unmoved.

the photographers intentions may not effect how we view pieces of photography since we may not know the artists true intentions when creating the piece or even the photographer might not know there own intensions and may be leaving it to the viewer.

Where did it start?

The first photo ever taken.

How the World's First Color Photograph Came to Be | Artsy
The first coloured photograph

The world’s first colour photo was produced in 1861 by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. He believed any colour could be made by the correct mixture of red, yellow and blue. Maxwell made three lantern slides of a tartan ribbon through red, green and blue filters. He then projected them onto a screen, they combined to make a full-colour image which was a recognisable reproduction of the original.

shutter speed

Shutter speed affects an image as it controls how much light the camera takes in. A fast shutter speed will let less light in meaning the image will be sharper as it isn’t over exposed. If the shutter speed is slow it will let more light in to the camera making the image blurry and over exposed.

Photo games

in lesson time we played photo games to try using different shutter speeds. we would throw 3 balls in the air and try to capture them in line, we did this by making the shutter speed faster. Here is my attempt

The last picture was my best attempt as it captures the balls nearly perfectly alligned.

We also played a game using slow shutter speed to try capture action shots. one person would pretend to box the camera while the photographer tries to capture shots.
