Blur's In Photoshop

MOTION BLUR

I firstly dragged the background layer down to the create new layer option in the layer palette.

I then double clicked on the background layer and then turned it into a layer.

I then went to 'Filter', 'Blur' and then 'Motion Blur'.

This then bought up a tab which allowed me to change the amount of motion blur I was putting on the photo. It also allowed me to change the angle of the motion blur.

Once that was done, I dragged the background copy layer to apply the mask option.

I then used the rubber tool to rub out the car in which i wanted the motion blur to show through the mask.

I then flattened the image so that the layers came together.

Below is my original image and my final motion blur image.

LENS BLUR

Firstly, I dragged the background layer to the create new layer option.

I then double clicked on the bottom layer named background which enabled me to turn this background layer into a normal layer.

I then selected the top layer named background copy and used the quick mask tool and the gradient tool.

Next, I drew a line where I wanted the selection for the lens blur to take place. The section appears with a red haze over the image to show where the section was made.

Then I deselected the quick mask tool by clicking the quick mask tool again.

I then went to the filter tab at the top of the screen and then clicked on ' Filter', 'Blur' and then 'Lens Blur'.

When I did this it opened up a tab which allowed me to digitally enhance and manipulate the lens blur to how I wanted it.

Lastly, I went to 'Layer', and then 'Flatten Image' to bring the layers together into one.

Below is my original image and my final lens blur image.

Multiplicity In Photoshop

Multiplicity in photography is the process of taking multiple photographs of humans, objects or animals in different areas of the frame, and then combining these photographs in photoshop. Below are some good examples of multiplicity photographs. http://easthsdigitalphoto.weebly.com/what-are-we-doing-today.html http://www.positive-magazine.com/world-of-one/ https://www.ormsdirect.co.za/blog/2015/05/11/creating-action-sequences-in-photoshop/ I created my own multiplicity photograph by experimenting on photoshop, through masking in the layers palette. Firstly, I set up my camera making sure it was secure on top of a sturdy tripod so that there was no unnecessary camera movement. I then got the main subject to do a specific action in different locations in the frame for every different photograph that I took. I tried to link all the shots that I took of the subject by making them p...

Tom Manley (Digital Shoot)

For more than ten years, Tom Manley has worked in architectural firms before becoming a photographer, focusing on architecture and the built environment. Manley lives and shoots most of his photographs in Glasgow. In 2008, Manley entered the Glasgow Institute of Architects photography competition. He won the social landscape and the documentary photography category. Below is the one photograph of Manley's which inspires me the most. source: http://tommanleyphotography.com/urban-landscapes/ This photograph of Manley's inspires me the most because many people look at urban derelictions and think that they are eye sores but to me they are fascinating, wondering what was there and what it was like. This photograph relates to chaos because there are weeds and rubbish all over the place which makes it chaotic and why I really like it which is why I have decided to shoot digital with inspiration from Tom Manley.

There is no manipulation of that light, in the way that a lens manipulates light." - Adam Fuss Adam Fuss was born in 1961 in London but he grew up mainly in Australia. In 1980 Fuss started working as a photographic apprentice at Ogilvy & Mather Agency. He later made a move to New York, this is where he first started to record and document the natural environment around him through photography using a pinhole camera. This later guided Adam to experiment with alternative photographic processes, which later on led to him abandoning using the camera completely. Fuss's photographic works are unique for their contemporary reinterpretation of the earliest techniques of photography, specifically the photograms and camera-less techniques. Fuss believes that to make photographic techniques work, they should be person...
