Paper selection

I used adobe light room classic to cut down all my photos and used the flagging filter to select my favourites.

I chose this photo to have a go at editing.

I just played around with the editing adjusting the highlights and shadows.

Paul Jackson Watercolors

Paul Jackson

Paul Jackson has been a professional paper artist, paper engineer, writer and teacher since 1983, specializing in origami and the folded arts.

“I’M A PAPER ARTIST,PAPER ENGINEER,WRITER AND TEACHER.”

This is the artist that inspired me, this is one of my inspired photos.

Formal Elements

Line– The line element or length element can be informally thought of as a line segment associated with an infinitesimal displacement vector in a metric space. The length of the line element, which may be thought of as a differential arc length, is a function of the metric tensor and is denoted by .

Shape– representing shape and form in your compositions can turn objects, landscapes and figures into defined, striking focal points. Using various lighting techniques, such as backlighting, silhouettes, and paying attention to shadows, will help elevate the shapes and forms in your shot.

Space-Space in photography plays a vital role in shaping the perception of depth. It represents the relative distance between objects and the overall perspective portrayed. In the world of art, there are two types of space: negative and positive.

Repetition-Repetition in photography refers to the technique of integrating recurring elements, patterns, or themes in a composition to produce a sense of rhythm and balance in an image.

Colour

ISO

ISO-ISO is a number that represents how sensitive your camera sensor is to light. The higher the ISO number, the higher your camera’s sensitivity, and the less light you need to take a picture. The trade-off is that higher ISOs can lead to degraded image quality and cause your photos to be grainy or ‘noisy.

This photo is shot with using a high ISO you can tell by the the quality is clear and there is no noise in the background. I also made use of shutter speed which allowed more light to enter the camera making the subject more easily viable which reduces noise.
This photo used shutter speed to give a clear photo without using ISO.
This photo was taken in less light so we used a lower ISO to make the subject more visible and exposed.
This photo was shot with a low ISO. You can see this by the quality of the photo as it appears kind of grainy.
This is all my ISO photos I have selected my favourites by flagging them which I can the put a flagging filter on meaning I can separate my favourites from the others so I can focus on my better
photos.

This is how I put the flagged filter.

These are my selected photos.
This is the original of the photo I have chosen to edit.
This is the edited version. On the right side is the features I used to edit it and what I did to it some of the things I changed was the shadows I made them more noticeable and darker.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure and controls the amount of light the camera takes in and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.

Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge is remembered today for his pioneering photographic studies of motion, which ultimately led to the development of cinema. He was hired to photograph a horse’s movement to prove that a horse’s hooves are clear of the ground at a trot.

To take these clear shots of a moving horse he used a high shutter speed to capture the act. Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open and how much light it is exposed too.. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure ,the amount of light the camera takes in and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.

This is a photo I took with a high shutter speed. This is a torch being moved in a shape of a star.

This is a photo i took with a low shutter speed you can tell as it is quite blurry and not a clear image.

Aperture and Depth of feild

The aperture controls the amount of light that enters through iris in the lens and is measured in f/stop ,you can adjust this by changing said f/stops.

Depth of field is defined as what is in focus in front and behind the subject, shallow depth in field has limited things in focus often with a blurred background this requires f/stop or f/2 or f/4 depth of field is defined by aperture the higher the number the more in focus an example of this would be f/16 or f/22

As seen here the aperture is f/2.8 meaning the depth
