I have chosen the Introduction to close-up image capture because having trained as a florist, I am really interested in close-up work. This would be especially beneficial for my portfolio as I can then show the true beauty of the flowers that I use whether it be for funeral work or weddings. I think that this is so important as without nice, clear pictures, in true colours, then how can you sell your work efficiently. Hopefully, after completing this course, I can have the confidence to move forward onto levels 2 and 3.
I also enjoy taking close-up pictures of my 5 year old daughter Zinnia, who was named after a flower and also that my husband wanted a child with a name beginning with the letter Z.
I will be using my Nikon D90 camera for the following assignment.
Assignment 104 - Introduction to close-up image capture
I am required to produce a minimum of 6 images using close-up techniques by selecting the appropriate equipment, capturing the images and outputting for viewing.
Assignment 107 - Introduction of presenting photo images
Present a minimum of 6 images. These images can be captured from a previous assignment.
Produce a written account for the images which will outline the method used to present the final images. Also, outline a way in which the images could have been presented differently to the method originally used.
Assignment 108 - Digital image manipulation
Select and manipulate 4 images. These must relate to each other and be displayed along with the unmodified images. Also, a written account which must include modification of software used, image quality checks that were carried out, how the final images relate to the theme and any legal and ethical considerations.
