This section contains all the work which I have been doing for a 4 week block between the end of my AS lessons and the beginning of A2 in September.
This contains work such as:
This contains work such as:
- Circles of Confusion
- Tilt Shift
- HDR
- Polar Panoramas
What are Circles of Confusion?
Circles of Confusion are when there is scattered unfocused light which takes the shape of the lens to create the perfect circles. The trick to getting these images right its to have a long lens so that you have a larger focal length, this enables you to take the pictures where the pockets of light from the background are out of focus and keep the figure in focus.
As the light takes the shape of the lens you are able to change these shapes by creating a cover to put on the front of the lens allowing the light to take the shape of the lens.

What is Tilt Shift?
Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs.Tilt-shift style miniature photos are simply photos of real life scenes that are made to look like miniature scale models.
This is done using either a special camera lens (one with tilt capability) or with software. These photos are sometimes called "fake" miniatures, because they are pictures of real-life scenes. Additionally, the simulated depth-of-field method in software can be called "fake tilt-shift", as the resulting photos were not taken with a real tilt/shift lens.

What is HDR?
High-dynamic-range imaging methods used in imaging and photography to capture a greater range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. HDR images can represent the different tones and light which are missed in normal photos and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject. It enables you to see more detail as the mixture of differently exposed images shows the different lighting which may reveal different parts of the image.
To create HDR images, you need 3 separate pictures taken in the same place with different exposure levels, you can then place them together to create an image which has all kinds of tone in them.
When creating my images I have the choice of what setting to have the images put together on this means that I can create them differently.

What is a Polar Panorama?
A Polar Panorama can make a 360° view appear to be a separate planet as shown below, or could be created with the sky as the center of the image.
