The Decisive Moment

This photograph which shows a decisive moment or a captured moment in time, to me seems grotesque because of the murky looking water and the look and feel of the photograph is black and white which also makes the image look grainy and aged which gives the photograph an eerie atmosphere.

Henri Cartier Bresson waited for the man to come into the shot, and captured the moment at a specific time, in this case, he waited until the man was leaping across the puddle which makes the viewers left to question what happened next.
This photograph makes me feel depressed with the horrible weather that I can see within this photograph.

Stitching/Panorama

I created a stitched (photo merge) image by taking many photographs which overlap very slightly in order to produce a final panoramic image. I began by opening photoshop and going to the "File" menu and then "Automate" and then clicking on "Photomerge". By doing this, it opens up a tab which allows me to change what sort of photo merge I am going to produce and it also allows me to browse the files that I would like to use for the photo merge. I then browsed through my files to find the exact files that I wanted to use. Once I clicked open, it layered and merged the photos together into one final panoramic image. Once the final image was created I flattened the image by hovering over the "Layer" and then clicked on "Flatten Image" which brought all the layer into one. Below are my 2 final panoramic images that I created. The 2 final images above are underexposed so when I create a panoram...

Hyper-Lapse

I created my hyper-lapse by placing my camera carefully on top of a tripod. I then positioned the tripod which had my camera on the edge of a pavement so that my main subject was positioned centrally in the frame. Next, I took a shot of the subject standing still on the curb of the pavement and every time I took a shot, I tracked backward whilst the subject moved forwards. I created the final video (hyper-lapse) by putting all the photos that I took into one folder. I then opened Photoshop. Once Photoshop was opened, I went to into the "File" menu and then clicked on "Open". Once I had done that, I Navigated to the folder where all the photos were. I selected the first photo that I took. Once the Photo has opened in photoshop, I went to the "Dialogue Box" and then clicked on "Image Sequence" By clicking "Open", it will import the photos into a time-lapse video fi...

The Anatomy & How the Camera Works

The Anatomy Of The Camera: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/338473728219110890/ The viewfinder - This is what the photographer looks through to create the image and to see what they are shooting in front of the camera. Film speed dial - This allows the photographer to change how fast the film goes past the mirror which would allow for either a longer or shorter exposure time. Shutter release - A button on the camera or anything that can be used to trigger the shutter release. Film advance lever - This allows the photographer to pull the film from within the canister, out and onto the spool. Exposure counter - This shows how many exposures have been taken and how many are left on the roll of film. Mirror - Allows the photographer to looks through the lens to see what is being captured. Pentaprism - Allows the photographer to look through the lens through a viewfinder with everything the correct way up and around. Shutter speed ring - This is the amount ...
