Preliminary Photography Task

Image 1-
Theme- Realism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to 'P' then altered the white balance.  This edit didn't work very well as it didn't capture the colours properly.

 Image 2-
Theme- Realism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to AV and altered the depth of field to allow the tree to be the main focus of the image.  This made the leaves look very defined and gave the overall image a crisp high quality look.

Image 3-
Theme-  Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to 'P' and then altered the white balance.  Selected the warm white FL in the florescent setting and changed the AB to B6-M6 which brought out the orange and yellow undertones in the image more.  The Depth of Field was edited so that everything in the shot was in focus so everything can be seen.

Theme- Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to 'P' and then altered the white balance to the florescent setting before selecting warm whitre FL.  Then changed the AB to A1 + M6 to create a more washed out, dull colour.

Theme- Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed mode to 'P' and then altered the white balance to the florescent setting, into warm white FL.  Changed AB to 0-A6 which brought out the blue tones of the image more than the normal automatic setting did.  The Depth of Field was altered so that the whole of the picture was in focus and everything could be seen clearly.

Image 7-
Theme- Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to 'P' and then altered the white balance.  We applied the Sepia effect to this image.

Image 8-
Theme- Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- same as before put this image wasn't in focus so didn't look as good.

Image 9-
Theme- Surrealism
Shutter Speed- 1/50
Mode- Changed the mode to 'P' then added the black and white effect.  This gave the image a whole new look.

Conclusion- From this task and throughout the process I have learnt that there are many different settings that can be used to enhance images.  Changing the mode from the automatic setting means that depending of what the image is that I am taking, I can add a different mode on the camera to suit the style of image that I am after.  I also have learnt that changing a picture to enhance different undertones is easier than I thought.
