My Favourite

I am going to look at three of my favourite pictures out of all the pictures i have taken so far.

DECISIVE MOMENTS
The first picture i am going to look at is my desisive moment picture.
I love this picture as i think it is the meaning of decisive moment, you have the skatboarder in mid air with people at the bottom left looking up at him, this also keeps in with the rule of thirds.








URBAN VS NATURE
This is my second picture and its my Urban vs Nature. I like this picture as i think the station is a good example of land and country side being taken over by new urban demands. I wish i had got more greenary in the shot instead of just at one side, this also is with the rule of thirds.








PORTRAIT PICTURE

This is my third picture and it is my portrait.
I really like this picture as everybody else seems oblivious and carrys on with what they are doing compared to the one person jumping in bright green.

Robert Capa

I have chosen to look at Robert Capa's work. I Decided i would look at his work because his work is sick but inspiring and i would like to try to encorparate his style into my work.

This is a picture of Robert Capa. Below i will look at some of his photography and look at how he has taken his images.

This picture is called 1800FT. It is a well know picture and is taken at a moment where the paratroupers are close to the gound but in this shot its made to look like the sky is filled with soldiers.

This picture once again has no persific title but is named under, Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot in France.


This picture and the one below were both taken on the same day. Capa didnt really give the photos any percific name, the only title that came with these pictures were American soldiers landing on Omaha Beach, D-Day, Normandy, France. June 6, 1944.


This picture, like the one above is titled American soldiers landing on Omaha Beach, D-Day, Normandy, France. June 6, 1944.. The scary thing was that Capa used to risk his life and get right to the front line action just to get some of his amazing pictures.

Photography Lesson Notes

Things i have learnt:

* Photography was supposedly created in 1839 but this was also the time that people realised that they could manipulate and edit pictures.
* Ansel Adams was a photographer and live in the USA and he took some of his most famous pictures around the 1900's.
* The rule of thirds, is what most photographers use in a lot of their work to produce eye-catching and inspirational pictures.
* The Golden third, this is the middle 'slice' out of the three thirds, this technique is widely used and the photographer would make sure that the golden third would be the piece of the picture with the most happening in it.


This picture by Ansel Adams is a good example of the rule of thirds.
The middle third 'golden third' has got the most going on in it as it has the scenery, road and a small car in the distance.

Photoshop Lesson 1

Today i have been looking at Photoshop and learning about how i can manipulate an image.
This is one of the pictures i decided to edit, this how the photo looked before i edited it. The picture on the right has been edited by using Watercolour.

The picture on the left is the original. I edited the left one with Fresco.
