Today in Comm Tech we took up the terms quiz we did on Friday. Then we learned about how to use the Dodge and Burn tools on Photoshop and found they lightened and darkened images. After playing around with those tools for awhile I continued on working on Photo Assignment 2, creating the Black and White photos with a colour image in the middle.

Today in Comm tech we started learning about the Top 10 Rules of Photography which we were assigned to post on our blogs. Here they are:
1. Get down on their level
Getting down to your subjects eye level will help capture smiles and facial expressions better. This will help to create a more warm and inviting picture especially for children and pets.
2. Use a plain background
Before snapping a picture checking the area behind your subject. Lookout for trees and poles sprouting from your subjects head and watch for cluttered backgrounds that can be distracting and take away emphasize from your subject.
3. Use flash outdoors
Use flash even outdoors to improve the photos. Flash works in bright sunlight to lighten dark shadows under eyes and nose while on cloudy days flash is used to brighten up faces and make them stand out.
4. Move in close
To create impactful pictures move in close and fill your picture with the subject to eliminate distractions and show off details of the main subject.
5. Take some vertical pictures.
Some things like buildings, monuments and full length pictures of friends look better vertically so try to make and effort to take some vertical pictures.
6. Lock the focus
Lock the focus to create a sharp picture of off-center subjects.
