Software/Equipment Testing

 For this class we are going to test software to expand our skills and knowledge in Media. I will be using Photoshop so I can create a layout for the pictures that I will be experimenting with.

Below are some of the pictures that I took last week, during the Creative Experiment and respective properties. These were taken with a Canon EOS 700D and I explored different types of features and settings.

1/40 sec. f/5 42 mm, ISO: 400

1/40 sec. f/5 35 mm, ISO: 400

1/1250 sec. f/5.6 43 mm, ISO: 200

1/1600 sec. f/5.6 39 mm, ISO: 200

Once the Photoshop was open, I selected a A4 type of document with a black background (as you can see on Pic. 1 and 2).

As you can see on Picture 3, on another layer I opened one of the pictures from the Creative Experiment and started using the tools and features available to learn more about Photoshop.

As the teacher showed us an experiment on photoshop of her own, I was moving the picture, changing the size and customizing the settings (Picture 4, 5 and 6).

This experiment allowed me to learn how to use Photoshop and the vast majority of tools available on the software. Now, I have an idea of I am going to do and use on my final project.
