Summary of My Lecture

As a summary of week 5, Mr Fauzi taught us about digital photography such as the functions inside a camera. A camera body consists of shutter & image sensor where as camera lens have aperture or iris. There will only be two camera settings affecting the actual ' luminous exposure ' of an image such as shutter speed & aperture. A camera ISO also affects the brightness of your photos. For camera lens, different lens are designed for different purposes. It can be categorized by focal length. DSLR cameras are designed to capture images while phones are designed to carry out a multitude of functions. 


TUTORIAL

In this digital imaging exercise, we were being given the task of cropping out a character named Shazam and place it into a background picture known as Hearst Mansion. Furthermore, we are required to make adjustment about it such as colour correction, adding shadow and making reflection of him in the water. The pictures shown above are my processes in doing the exercise.

For this exercise, I asked my classmate helped me to take a photo of myself while I was leaning against a white wall. Moreover, we are required to apply the Shazam's exercise techniques in this work. Suitable colour correction should applied to finalize my work. The slides above had shown my process and edits I used in the exercise.

REFLECTIONS

Throughout the following week, I am happy to learn about more features inside photoshop such as cropping out the character and putting them into a different background. Moreover, I had also learn about the enhancement of making my character looked more realistic in the background picture such as by adding shadows and reflection inside the water.
