Shooting motion
My best three shots
1) My father using a cutting saw - This one includes Meta data.
2) Slinky - Took a few shots but this one is my favourite. Starring mum! :)
3) Balloon - Was very hard to take a photo of a balloon in the air, as it moves so slowly and every shot was more blurry than expected! I like this one because I feel I really captured it in the air, the colours looked good and has a different motion feel compared to the other photographs.
Resubmission
Here I added a radial blur and used the burn tool to outline the balloon more :)Tuesday, 18 June 2013
Web image formats
Project draft
For this task, we are required to create a collage representing living in an eco-friendly manner.
We are also meant to detirmine what image format for the web results in better quality.
We were required do create a draft for our environment collage.
All 10 of my pictures plus a little text or heading would be included.
One photo would be within the background with an opacity or overlay gradient.
Grid screen capture
Here is a screen grab with the grid I used like in my draft, placing everything dead centre and even.
Design rationale and best image format
I chose for the best image format that maintains image quality, the PNG file.
It's file size was larger (11MB compared to the JPEG of 1MB)
The JPEG would be the best option if the intent was for the image to be uploaded faster.
And recognised by any browser as it is commonly used.
However in image quality, the PNG format file is designed to be a good for web graphics
(and was meant to replace the GIF format)
To sum up, really depending on what is best (image quality or for accessibility) my answer differs!
Design rationale
My ten images included elements of how my family lives in an eco friendly way.
My background image includes trees. We own a forest and my father plants trees regularly.
(heading down from left to right)
- I have an image of some tomatoes in our veggie garden, we sometimes grow our own food.
- There is an image of a water filter.
- Recycling bins
- Clothes line
- Small car
- Chickens
- A green bag for shopping
- Compost bin
- Eco friendly lights
These are all small things in which I feel we live in an eco friendly way.
