Final Image

Final Piece

 This is my final image that I chose. I love this image because throughout this project I've been thinking about intrinsic value towards nature. I like the fact that the sun is bursting around the side of the leaf and it creates this stunning image, that is so simple yet unbelievably effective.

This year in photography I have learned so much about photos and how by just thinking about positioning and lighting you can get an unbelievably beautiful image. I've learned how to compose an image to rule of thirds and how to use the sun to my advantage. I've found out that with a good quality camera that i can capture good photos when on my own.
I also have learned about how photography came to be and the history of it. Its amazing to think what cameras used to be like and how they are now.

If i could go back I would do more darkroom photos than off a Digital SLR because I would like to test my skill and see if i could pull it off effectively.

If i could go back and do it again i would have got a picture of only my face and foun some better text to write wanted and reward in. Im still happy with it but theres little things i would change. I would not have burned the texture image so much but i don't think thats a big problem. I would have also liked to have something on the paper im holding up.

Overall though i am happy at how it turned out because it looks professional and real.

I made this photo on photoshop and ill take you through how i did it.

First of all i had to go and get a camera out and go into the studio and get a few pictures. Once i got back to the computer i flicked through the pictures and picked my favorite image to use.
Once i had selected it i then imported it into photoshop and began editing it.
I first of all went on google and searched for a texture that i wanted. I looked for old paper from wanted posters and found this one. The texture was a very weak and not very strong image so i used the burn tool to really make it stand out and look old and warn. After that i imported the picture into it and blended the corners in into the picture but it never worked as i would have licked it.

After that i added the text in and it was done. I exported it as a jpeg and uploaded it.

These are images i took the other day, they are the images i went out searching for that have intrinsic value. The connection i was looking for was the bond between the leaves and the branch. I only took a few pictures but most of them i was happy with. Some where not as good but i have put it in anyway so that you can see every picture i took and not just all the best one.

My favourite one is the 'IMG_1525' as i really like the the way the sun is shinning behind the leaf and causing it to bust around the side creating a lovely effect that works really nicely. This is also a good picture because it has really nice rules of third and depth of field. The colours on this one are also very vibrant and a compliment to the image.
