Sushant's Digital Photo

 

Class Lesson My Project What was easy? It was easy to take the pictures and piece the components together. What was difficult? It was difficult to add shadows angled similar to the light source and remove the background from the car due to the open windows. What do you like about your image? I like how the image is comedic with the tough background but lighthearted car. What would you change? I would add texture to car to make it match the tone of the other components.

 

  1. What do you like about your image? - It highlights the round and smooth edges of the headphones through the composition of various angles of light. 2. What would you have done differently in your process that would have changed the outcome of the image? - I would've used a lighter backdrop to reflect more light onto my subject during the photo-taking process, prior to editing. 3. What photoshop techniques did you use? - I composited multiple images using layer masks to isolate the subject and used the spot healing tool to remove smudges, print, and headphone ports. I then added a background with a color splash as well as text. Afterward, I added an outer glow, drop shadow, and gradient overlay using the text editor.

How is the lighting in your favorite image? - The lighting in the image is direct? 3. What worked well while photographing? - Most direct lighting helped highlight the subject in comparison to the multitude of shadows produced by diffused lighting. Manually adjusting the focus prior to allowing the camera to automatically focus also helped us visualize the end product while working, allowing us to decide on the necessary zoom and lighting(it also helped the automated focus to fixate on the subject and not the background, thus altering the depth of field). 4. What would you have done differently? - Next time, I would experiment with different backdrops...
