Montage Part Four

In this step I added the next image and then I cut out my goose image and then went to edit, transport and flip horizontal, to cut it out I used the quick election tool then selected what I wanted to keep and deleted the rest.

Montage Part Three

In this step I added my third image and used the bevel and emboss tool on the black and white image, to do this I double clicked the layer the image was on and a box opened and I selected bevel and emboss and then played around till I had what I liked.

Montage Part Two

For this part I had to make one image colour toned, to do this I selected the image and went to colour balance and changed it to red and then I dragged the image on to the paper with the black and white image on.

Montage Part One

This first stage I added my first image by opening the image and dragging it into the the blank page I had open then used the black and white tool to make it black and white.

5 Images Chosen

Image 1:
This image was quite difficult to take due to my rabbit knocking the glasses off, but after multiple tries I ended up using this image, though it has its desired effect the rabbit wearing gasses similar to Parrs picture of the dog in glasses and a hat, I feel like I could of done more for this image. There is a lot of background things involved which are not helping the image, also the image was not taken straight so the framing was off.

Image 2:

Again, like in my previous image though there is not a lot of things in the background that you can see there is still things which distract the eye, the framing could of been straighter so the plate, which is slightly square, would of fit better. I feel like the steam from the food makes the image look not as good also. I think if it took a few more I would of gotten the desired image.

Image 3:
 In this image i chose to criticise it because the cup is not centred and I could of benefited from using the rule of thirds in this image and straightening out the board underneath the cup. I feel like with this I should look more closely at the set before I take the image so next time it is in line with the board and the cup was more centred.

Image 4:
This image was not the easiest to take, due to me not having them on a wall I had to use the floor for my background and I could not get high enough and over it enough to get the right picture. The lighting was also a problem in this image as because the plates had a shine to them the light had a reflection in the plates which would look better without the shine. I think next time I do an image like this I will have to fine an easier way to get higher up and right over them.

Image 5:
This image could of gone a lot better, I should of got it at a different angle, I feel like though It isn't too bad it could of gone a lot better. I should of put a compositional rule into place to make the image better. I think next time I will do the picture just as the cigarette is lit so I hove longer to do the shoot so I can get it just right.

Personal Project Plan

Image 1:
My first image chosen was of two slices of buttered bread, in order to re create this image I will have to get a piece of bread and butter it, then I will have to cut them diagonally or straight to add my own twist to the image so it is not exactly the same, the back ground used for this will be a simple plate on a side, as if there are a lot of things in the background it will be very distracting. The shutter speed I will use in this image would be around 1/100, my aperture will be around f5 and my ISO will be at around 200. These are not set decisions as it could change during the shooting process

Image 2:
This image is of a full english breakfast, in order to do this I will have to, rather order or create a english breakfast on my own, but the english breakfast will not be the same as the original image. The shutter speed I will use will be around 1/200 or maybe 1/100, the aperture will be f6 or lower and the ISO will be around 200, again like the previous plan these are not set in stone they could change during the shoot.

Image 3:
This image is of a woman with a cigarette between her fingers, I'm assuming at a beach because of the bikini, the shine and tan. My Image will not be like this, it will be of my dad sat a home with a cigarette in-between his fingers but fully clothed and on a couch inside. My shutter speed will be around 1/400 and my aperture will be at around f6 the ISO will be at 100/200.

Image 4:
Image 4 is of a swan at a beach, for me to have a re construction of this image I would have to go to the local park, and if I cannot find a swan I would have to use a duck or maybe a goose, the shutter speed on this image will have to be around the 1/300 or maybe higher, the aperture will be around f4 and the ISO will be around 100.

Image 5:
This image is of decorative plates hung up on the wall, to do this, as I will not be able to put them on the wall I will have to put them on my floor and use a tripod to get a steady picture of them higher up, the shutter speed will be similar to the others, around 1/200 and the aperture about f4/5 the ISO will be 100 or 200.

Image 6:
My sixth image chosen to recreate is of a dog wearing sun glasses, to do this I will have to rather use my dog or rabbit to have a different spin on the picture, I'm not sure if this will work straight away so It may take multiple tries, as will a few of this images to just get it right. Shutter speed will be around 1/400, aperture will be around f6 and the ISO will be at 200.

Image 7:
This image is of a cup of tea on a saucer, as I do not have a cup like this or a saucer I will have to do it differently to the original. I will have to make a cup of tea or maybe a coffee or hot chocolate to make it different and then I will have to set my shutter speed at around 1/200 my aperture at f5 and the ISO at 100.

Image 8:
My eighth image is of a person wearing head phones, you can only see the persons head, to recreate this image I will have to have somebody face forward while wearing a set of headphones, the shutter speed will be an average speed of 1/300 the aperture will f6 the ISO around 200.

Image 9:
For this image of a woman at a sewing machine I will have to get somebody to sew, or at least look like they're sewing something on the machine and then take the image from a different angle to give it a different look. The shutter speed will be at 1/400 the aperture will be around f3 and the ISO will be at 200.

Image 10:
My final image choice was of a rail at the beach, to re create this image, I will have to keep the leading line in as it is a good feature, but I will have to find a rail or something like it. The shutter speed for this image will be at around 1/200 the aperture will be around f5 and the ISO will be at 100.

Personal Project: Images For Interpretation

For my personal project I chose to look at the photographer Martin Parr, I  chose him over Cindy Sherman as I believe his work would be easier and more interesting for me to interpret into my own work, I will pick 10 of his pictures to interpret into my own, the images I have chosen are of the ones bellow.
