Lightroom Still Life Edits

Leave a comment

To select the images I wanted I used “shift ” and “p”. If I didn’t want the image to be apart of my selection I used “x” instead and it would reject the image.

To filter out the images you have rejected you select “flagged” so you only see the ones you have selected.

You can compare images by using “X and Y” view and give them a rating.

You can then narrow your images down further so you only see the ones you have rated. You can then give them a colour to help you narrow down your final selection further.

Basic edits:

I’m using the crop tool to get rid of the part of the image I don’t want or need.
I then changed the image into black and white and then added vignette.
You can then compare your images from “before and after view”
“Before and after view” side by side

How to export an image

When exporting the image in to the “Blog” folder you set the pixels to 1000
When exporting the image to the “Print” folder you change the pixels from 1000 pixels to 4000.

Shutter Speed

1 Comment

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.

Examples:

Capturing Motion with Slow Shutter Speeds

For example if you wanted to take photos of moving objects with lights you would want to use a slow shutter speed so the camera can capture the light and what’s going on in the image.

However, if you had a fast shutter speed to take it will blur the moving object.

For these two images I used a fast shutter speed, around 1/250, which is why the balls are sharp, clear and in focus in the image and not blurry.

This image is blurrier than the other two as it had a lower shutter speed making the balls burry and not as sharp as the images with a fast shutter speed.
