Photo Assignment #5: Event

This week I attended a golf match where I took pictures for my next photo assignment. Taking Pictures of a sports event can be somewhat difficult due to the fact that the players are always in motion. I needed to have a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of their swing but it was also really sunny so that limited how fast I could make it. In the end I think I got some great pictures:

Best Photo:

 

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec

Aperature: f5.6

To edit this picture all I did was adjust the levels and add a frame to give it a more completed look.

Panographic

Panographic pictures are essentially a collage of 20-30 pictures. These pictures can be put together by hand or you can use photomerge to merge them together. I really enjoyed doing this assignment because I like the finished product, however, it was difficult to accept that not every picture is going to line up perfectly. Here are som examples if you still don’t understand what they look like.

Photo Assignment #4: HDR

For this photo assignment I shot HDR (High Dynamic Range) the point of this type of photography is to capture all of the different exposures into one photo. To do this you take 3 pictures, one at the correct exposure, one under exposed, and one over exposed. Then you take the three pictures and merge them together in photoshop which should give you a picture that looks how your eye would see it. Here’s my best before and after:

After I merged the photos together in photoshop all I did was adjust the saturation to make the flowers a brighter pink, add a frame, and put my name on it. For taking HDR photo’s it’s important to use a tripod so that you don’t get ghosts in your picture.

High Dynamic Range

High Dynamic Range or HDR is a type of photography that is used to capture all the varying degrees of light and color in a photograph. A camera cannot physically capture all of this in a single shot to achieve the look you take 3 photographs. One under exposed, one at the correct exposure, and one over exposed. When you put them together in photoshop you get a picture that captures what the eye really sees. Here are my best two:

For these two pictures I combined the three together and adjusted the settings and added a frame to get the look I wanted. Here are a few more:

While taking HDR photos I learned that it is important to use a tripod. Also you should photograph areas with a lot of light and color so your picture doesn’t end up looking dull.
