1. MY EVALUATION
BY JOSHUA GRIFFIN

2. PART 1
 FIRSTLY I RESEARCHED DIFFERENT PHOTO TYPES THEY WERE MACRO, ABSTRACT, PORTRAIT AND
ARCHITECTURAL.
 THEN I WENT OUT AROUND THE SCHOOL SITE AND TOOK PHOTOS OF ALL THESE RELATED TOPICS
THEN WENT BACK TO CLASSROOM AND UPLOADED ALL THE FILES THEN I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE OF
THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS
I CHOSE MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY THEN WENT ON LINE TO WWW.NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.COM AND
GOT SOME INSPIRATION FROM KATIE ORLINSKY AND ROMAN GOLUBENKO; THESE ARE THE TWO
PHOTOGRAPHERS THAT I LIKED THE MOST.
 THE EQUIPMENT I USED IN THIS PROJECT WAS A DIGITAL ZOOM CAMERA, A 16GB MEMORY CARD
AND A TRIPOD. THE ONLY SETTING I USED ON THE CAMERA WAS THE ZOOM AND FOCUS.
 IN THIS PROJECT I DID DO SOME EDITING; THE SOFTWARE I USED WAS PHOTOSHOP C55.1
VERSION NOT PHOTOSHOP C55.1(64BIT) VERSION BECAUSE I AM MORE USED TO USING
PHOTOSHOP C55.1 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE SAME ITS JUST THE ONE I WANT TO USE.
 I HAVE LEARNT SOME NEW SKILLS ON PHOTOSHOP LIKE THE LIQUEFY TOOL WHICH LETS ME
CHANGE SOME FEATURES OF THE PHOTO. THERE IS ONE TOOL THAT NEEDS A LOT OF CARE WHEN
USING THAT’S THE QUICK SELECTION TOOL THIS LETS YOU CUT BITS OF THE PICTURE OUT.

3. HOW YOU CAN MISUSE THE TOOLS
This is the quick selection tool at
work here. This is the whole face of
the picture this is how you do the
process correctly.
If you rush this will happen! You
don’t want this because the
features aren’t there. Also this
creates an abstract so if you are
doing any abstract I suppose this
could but not for any other
photo related topic

4. PART 2
• THE STRENGTHS OF THE PHOTOS WAS COLOURFUL AND CREATIVE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A
HD EXPLOSION OF COLOUR LIKE A FIREWORK.
• THE ONLY WEAKNESS I CAN THINK OF THEY ARE BOTH SIMILAR IN DESIGN
•

5. PART 2 CONTINUED
I FEEL THAT I HAVE ACHIEVED SOMETHING IN UNIT 9 PHOTOGRAPHY AND ALSO LEARNT LOADS OF
SKILLS IN PHOTOSHOP I AM PLEASED WITH WHAT I HAVE PRODUCED IN THIS PROJECT AND WOULD
DO IT AGAIN IF I COULD BUT ABSTRACT INSTEAD OF MACRO
IT SORT OF TURNED OUT THEY WAY I PLANNED BECAUSE I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF FLOWERS
BUT I DID NOT STATE WHAT I WOULD DO WITH THEM. AND ONCE I EXPLORED PHOTOSHOP A BIT
MORE I LEARNT WHAT I COULD DO WITH IT AND JUST EXPERIMENTED WITH IT AND MY FINAL PICTURES
WAS THE OUTCOME OF THIS

6. PART 2 CONTINUED AGAIN
• HOW I IMPROVED AS PHOTOGRAPHER WAS I LEARNT TO HAVE PATIENCE WITH
THE CAMERA AND LEARNED THE DIFFERENT SETTINGS SO EXPERIMENTING
AGAIN WITH THE CAMERA
• IF I DID THIS AGAIN I WOULD CHANGE THE TOPIC AND THE EDITING OF THE
PHOTO AND INSTEAD OF FLOWERS MAYBE ANIMALS.

7. PART 3 BEFORE AND AFTER
