Digital Imaging - Learning Activity 8

Hi Guys,

Here's my Being Green work, I found that the best picture format choice here was the JPEG as my images have lots of gradients and tones "as most natural images do". Also i noticed that the jpeg was 2 times smaller in size than the gif and much better quality and over 4 times smaller the png.

I Find that being green in this day and age is a responsibility of us all. Below, some of my images are reserves or world heritage places, to me that is being green and preserving it for future generations. The two big pictures below are "My Compost, not a very good one" and the natural sewerage system that we have out here at Evandale is only one of two in Tasmania. The rest of the photos are things you'll find around most houses, but we try to think of the environment in all aspects of life including computer hardware and even web hosting my choice is HostGator as they only use Wind Energy to power all their servers to help offset server emissions.

AS you can see i have changed the image layout a bit, this time i decided to combine all the small images into the compost.  Now there is a separation between recycling and preserving reserves some what i think.

Hopefully this is ok, i found a creative commons license picture for the main central image which is a famous game title that all true gamers would recognise. The big fella in the middle is called a "big daddy". I divided the layout into 9 grid layout with 2 for each side and 5 for the middle

I Decided to do mine on the dukes of hazzard, an old TV show i use to love as a kid.  I really wanted to have the car red but it was always to grainy so i went for the whitish colour

Digital Media - Activity 5

Because of the weather over the last few days its been hard to take pictures for this activity, so i decided to use some from my last trip around Australia.

Jesus Bird - Before Adjustments

Jesus Bird - After Adjustments
With this one i added a Hue/Saturation, Levels, Vibrance, Bright/Contrast and Finally a Black and White adjustment on which i changes the Opacity to give a tint of colour then i brought back the full colour of the bird by using the Black & White layer mask
  

Dig Tree - Before

Dig Tree - After
I like this one!  with just adding  Vibrance, Levels and Brightness/Contrast adjustments the clouds look nice with the tree being sharper

Digital Imaging - Learning Activity 4

Hi guys, i decided to use some photos from the last weekend in holidays and some from a website i have been doing for a friend

Original Photo

Cropped photo - reason i really cropped this photo was to get the  hand  out of the photo and i left the guy in the centre as i believed it adds better effect to this photo

Original Photo

Cropped Photo - changed the angle of picture and gave a bit more attention to the waves up close and a bit more  emphasis on Lewis (my crazy boy in the water on Saturday)

Original Photo

Cropped Photo - cropped it so the monkey  is looking out to the right of photo  and made him off centre and i believe it give a curiosity feel about the photo now

Original Photo

Swan Cropped - I did this crop again because really it was crap!  anyhow this time when i cropped  it i took out the rough water in the background, made the swan more central in the image and now it looks much safer for the black swan and also i think having the dry tree next to the swan and the dry tree in the bottom right hand corner offers a nice balance to the image

Digital Imaging - Learning Activity 3

Hi Guys, im finally back into study again.  I decided to do my story on Christian media that has had a big impact
on my life.  I tried to arrange it from oldest (in the background) to the most recent  media at the front.
