To improve Zoe appearance i copied a bit of clean skin then pasted it where all the spots were. Using photoshop I could also change her eye colour.

   The drop cap tool enables us to make the first letter in the text stand out. When inserting the word document into your made text boxes, you can have too much and the text will not transfer into the other boxes on its own. To do this you need to click the red box in the bottom left corner, this will allow the other parts of the text to insert into the following text box.

Photographic Manipulation



Photographic manipulation.



After putting my image into photoshop i had a look at editing to the photo just to test out some of the tools i could use and what effect it would have on the image. The first tools I looked was the Auto Tone, changing the colour, brightness and contrast of the picture.

I then went on to look at the sharpening and unsharpening tool. This can make the eyes look darker. After finishing that i looked at the dodge and burn tool. This means you can brighten some parts of the image and darken other parts.

Shutter Speed.





 This shot is taken at 1/500 of a second. It shows hardly any motion blur for the speed the frame was.
This picture shows her walking. Walking pictures are normally at 1/250 of a second. This shows no motion blur as she is only walking and little movement is involved.
Running speed taken at 1/500.

From this photograph you can see i was trying the line composition method. The shadow from the tree leads up to the main focus of the image.

This image shows me experimenting with the frame shot. It is basically a frame inside of a frame. I found this shot in particular very interesting as it shows two images in one.
