Photoshop - 1st Lesson

In this lesson we looked at Photoshop and experience the different tools. We didn't get to use all of them but we did get to use some important ones

Marquee Tool

I used this tool to select an area of the picture, copy it, paste it and move it around

Text Tool

I used this tool to change the font colour and font size to make it look how I wanted it to look

Clone Stamp Tool

I used this tool to change parts of the picture such as rubbing out peices I didn't want or new things I wanted to put in

Move Tool

This tool moves a selected thing around

Lasso Tool

This tool can allow you to cut out what you want but it has to be a complete shape or it connects it by itself

Magic Wand Tool

It selects a part of an image but it will cut out other things that were the same colour as the part of the image selected, if it is attatched

Explain in a Few Words the Type and Subject of Photography that this Person Produces

Most of his pictures didn't have people in them. They were usually taken in natural parks and there was usually a deep meaning to his pictures. The Snake River for example, is a beautiful image. There is a beautiful scenery in the Golden Third, jagged mountains in the background and dense forest in the foreground. The Rule of thirds is quite simple; Foreground at the bottom, Backround at the top and the Golden Third in the middle and most of the detail is found in the Golden Third. Not all photographers follow that rule. The light curves, like the river does. In Britain we read from left to right and the river sort of curves that way so it makes the picture a lot more interesting to look at

How Does this Person's Work Make You Feel?

For some reason, seeing the landscapes makes me feel relaxed, depending on the scenery. This is because it's a totally different landscape to England's (Since it rains a lot here) and different unfermilliar atmosphere makes me feel curious about the countries other landscape wonders (if there are any others that I haven't seen yet)

Does this Person's Work Influence Your Own Photography? How?

It will probably make me think about what I want in the picture. In the background, foreground and the Golden Third. In Crawley, I would have to think about light and how I could make it dramatic. Not as much as Ansel Adams, obviously. There are obviously a lot of people around Crawley all the time so it'll be difficult to get any good pictures...

Explain in a Few Words the Type and Subject of Photography That This Person Produces

Robert Capa captured several moments during the wars his pictures were of. I think it was brave of him to actually go out in the frey and take pictures first hand

How Does This Person's Work Make You Feel?

It makes me think about the world differently and kind of reminds me of my old History Lessons ... (The Teacher was so bad -_-') So I studied by using Horrible History Books by Terry Deary and now I know stuff other people didn't know about things

Does This Person's Work Influence Your Own Photography? How?

It will probably make me think about what I want in the picture and how I want the person looking at the picture to feel about what they are seeing
