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...

Editing in RAW

When shooting in RAW, which contains data which is minimally processed either from an image sensor of a digital camera. This format is unready for printing because they are not processed. In order to process the image, I double clicked on the RAW, unprocessed image in the location that the image was in. This then opened up camera RAW which allowed me to make manipulations, improvements and changes to many different things.  Once I had finished making the changes that I wanted to the image, I had to save it. When i saved the image I changed the format to TIFF so that I could print the image and I saved it again but this time as a JPEG so that I could put it onto my blog. Below is the edited versions of my photographs.

Adam Fuss

Source: http://www.cheimread.com/artists/adam-fuss "I see the photogram as being much more truthful and more honest because it's just recording light. 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...
