Photos & IT.

What is "IT", i hear you asking me? well, IT is it. Because IT can be anything you want IT to be. Sadly, I have no idea what to write about for photography, so I'm going to tell you about what people can express throught their images.

Photography is a media that can be in any form, colour or shape, of anyone, thing or place. My father is a photographer, and so I get HEAPS of talks about the ISO and the shutter speed, but I don't care about that. I'm an artisty person and I care about what's actually in the photo, so I'm gonna google random things and say what they express in the photo. haha! I find it funny that in nearly all my posts I advertise Google! Haha!

This is a pic I got of a zebra, but I Photoshopped it to show the strangeness' of life that go un-noticed (spelling??);

It came out seriously better than I thought it would, so, YAY for me!!
I can't find very much now, so I'd better end it there. And I'm sorry that this was a shiz post, but I can't find the SD card translator for my computer, so...
But I prome my next post will make up for this one!!
Until next time...Lots of Luvin', K.

Photography

                                l a y o u t in p h o t o s
hey. so, I'm gonna talk to you all about how important it is to get the perfect photo. It all has to do with the layout in the picture. In graphics tech at school my teacher told us the the perfect business cards have three sections to their front design of the card. So I thought, "could I use that in a photo?".

I've been googling Autmn scences to show you what this style looks like:


The 3 sections are the tree (the actual, whats the word? pieces of wood, like the stump...) the bottom section of leaves and the top part.

Its also good to frame your pictures with, say, a tree. When I went on my school camp to Winton, we went to this water hole and I took some great photos by framing the water hole with the edge of a tree or having one of my friends stand in the side of the frame.  You don't always need the subject in your picture in the centre, if you move it or them to the side you can fit in more scenery, which is a bonus!! *ding ding ding*.

So go out and test my theory or 3 sections. Leave a comment if ya want with you photo and tell us what you think. I guess I'll talk to you later! luv K.

Photography (Post 1)

p h o t o g r a p h y
hi! so, right now i'm gonna tell you all about something that i really enjoy.
photography,  but whats even more fun is editing them so they become wild & fun images for you and friends to enjoy.
Now, i'm not a great photoshopper, but I certainly know some really fun things to do on this programme, but before i tell you, i'm just gonna plug photoshop a tad.
Photoshop is a computer programme from ADOBE, other adobe products you might know are; flash and fireworks. Photoshop was designed to give photographers the chance to enhance their creations even further. The latest version of Photoshop is CS4.

Cool. So now my first favourite thing to do is called "liquidfy". This is where you can bend and stretch parts of the image. Like this:

see how the eyes and stuff are all streched? Thats pretty much liquidfy.
And now, my other favourite, Hue/Saturation
This is where you can distort the colours that are in a picture to make a brighter, more colourful (or darker, whatever you want) image. This could be used if you are a pro photographer to, for example, change the colour of water in an ocean photo. However in this one I changed the colour of a cat:


As you can tell, the kitten is now blue, when it used to be orange.
SO, you should have learnt 2 things from this posting: 1, that you should most likely but photoshop because it is so addictive and fun and 2, that I really like cats!!
talk to you next time, Kia.xx

QUOTES

Q U O T E S
I love quotes and heartfelt lyrics! I especially love ones that make you think about your life!
Here are my favourites;

Well i think i'll attach photos with the quotes/lyrics!

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.”
"It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives."
God, i love them!
What are some of your favourite quotes?
always,
Maddyxx
