Assembled Images
This assignment was one of my favorite as it was really fun to shoot! It was simple : all we had to do was take a tripod around with our camera and snap a bunch of things in different places with the same backdrop. We then use photoshop to merge all these pictures together, so in the end you get a picture with multiple things you shot with! In this case, I got multiple images of my friend Jocelyn being crazy. The photoshop part was difficult, because I had to get the lighting right in all parts of the image. She had to stay the same lighting throughout, and the stairs had to be exposed the same amount. Adjusting the lighting was the difficult part. However shooting and adding her into one image was fairly easy.
This image was fun to shoot. What I did was, I told my friend Jocelyn to pretend to dribble a basketball. I then told her to go to a different spot and pretend that she was receiving the ball from herself. Afterwards, I told her to go to the bleachers and cheer for the game. Basically, this image portrays Jocelyn watching herself play a basketball fame with herself. It was fun to shoot and edit.
Panorama
Shooting panorama shots were actually really fun. We needed a tripod for this too. We had to move the camera vertically or horizontally (horizontally is easier) and keep snapping pictures. However you need to make sure that the pictures are aligned and in a row perfectly. You then use photoshop and click automate, and merge all the photos together. It takes a couple minutes, but once it is finished then the ending product turns out looking quite nice. This photo is made up of 5 pictures, merged into 1. I had originally snapped about 10 images, in an attempt to create a full-circle panorama. However, after I clicked merge photos they all bundled together in a clump, so I decided to reduce the photo amount. I moved it down to 5 and it turned up much better.
This image was shot at the school climbing wall. I think it is an interesting image, because it shows a nice hut on the left, some of the pond and climbing wall. I had very little difficulty with this image, except for the fact that I had to adjust the lightning on each component image that made up the product. However, the finished image is lit nicely, through editing and adjusting the camera settings.
