This week was a continuation of post-production work, now looking at shooting in RAW against JPEG and image selection.
As a novice, shooting in RAW was a term I had never heard before and showed me the process that photos go through before being ready to publish.
The images I am using for this module were taken on my iPhone but seeing the extent of the settings for a digital camera intrigued me about camera operating.
For photo selection, I made sure to give myself as much movement as possible so I would shoot the same subjects but changing distance, aperture and depth to see what photo worked best for that particular photo.
Being able to try different ways of taking the same photo was something I would have never considered at the beginning of the module so, for me, this is a sign of progression with photography.
For my project, I took around 140 photos before deciding on a final 20 and will eventually be the final 8 – 12 photos that I will use.
