Project 2B — Photo Manipulation
❥INSTRUCTIONS
Compose one creative image by combining two different objects.
❥LECTURES
Exposure : The amount of light which reaches your camera sensor or
film.
Main parts of the camera
1. Camera body :
- Shutter- Image sensor- LCD screen
2. Camera lens :
- Aperture / Iris
Fig 1.1 Exposure settings and camera parts
2 camera settings that affect the luminous exposure of an image :
- Shutter speed- Aperture- ISO (affects brightness of your photos)
Iris / Aperture : control of the flow of light entering the lens
- measured by f-stop; the lower the f-number, the larger the lens
opening.
Shutter : small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light
onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film
- shutter speed is measured in seconds
Fig 1.2 Shutter speed examples
- the lower the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and
the finer the grain.

Lens Perspective : wide angle lens, standard lens, tele lens; different lenses are designed for different purposes. lenses can be categorized by focal length.
Fig 1.4 Types of camera lens
Focal Length : the shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa. it is the measurement from optical center of a camera lens to the camera's sensor.
Depth of field : proportion of image that is reasonably sharp and in
focus.
Wide angle lens : useful for landscape photography or street
photography.
Standard lens : accurate presentation of what the human eye sees
both in terms of visual angle and perspective
Tele lens : great for isolating a subject that is far away
DSLR vs SMARTPHONE
Pro
- Familiar with device- Good quality- Easy to learn
Cons
- Still limited- Good but not great- Non-ergonomic shape

2. Idea Exploration
I found some berries on some trees as I was walking past the lakeside so I
decided to take some pictures.

3. Process
Fig 3.1 Sketch Idea
My idea was to edit some of the berries into eyeballs by adding
the pupil of a plastic toy eyeball and edit in some veins to make
it look more realistic.
Fig 3.2 Process of Editing on Photoshop
I added the pupils onto some of the berries and for the ones
facing different directions, I used the perspective tool to skew
it according to the direction of where the berry is facing.
Fig 3.3 Process of Editing on Photoshop
After adding the pupils, I edited veins and a bit of shading
and shadows in by using the brush tool and the pen tool then
lowered the opacity.
❥FEEDBACK
Week 9 — The photo manipulation is fine and there were no specific remarks
given to change the edit. Only the image is needed to be cropped.
