Photography:
I used auto setting and manual focus when taking my photos, this was the first time I had used this type of camera and these camera settings. I learnt that you could change the zoom by turning the camera lenses. When taking the photos I had to use the ‘t-stance’ this is when you stand with one foot in front of the other holding the camera with two hands in front of your face. Taking a photo for a front cover is done better when done portrait, this makes the photo fit better. When taking my photos I made sure they were portrait, this prevented problems when I started to design my cover. The image that I chose to use was in focus but some of the first images that I took were not in focus, I think that this was because I did not get the hang of the camera until I had took a few photos. When taking the photos I learnt that the lighting had a great affect on the out come of your photo, for example if you took a photo directly into the light the back ground would be very bright, and if you took the photo facing away from the light it would look quite shadowed, this is what I went for when I took my photo. Some of my photos were not well composed but the final photo I decided on looked good with the eye line as it looked quite dominant. I used tree bark as my back ground because it went with the colour scheme that I had chosen. Sophie was the subject of my photo and she was very help full, she did everything I asked and the overall out come of my photo was better than I could have asked for.
LIGHTING: this photo was taken
away from the light.
light shining straight on to Sophie
this is why it is so much brighter
than the photo above.
