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.

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 ...
