Week 5 (21/MAY/2024)
1. EXPOSURE SETTING
In photography, exposure is the amount of light which reaches your camera
sensor or film.
Fig.1.0 Exposure
The main parts of the camera:
Camera body, Shutter, Image sensor, LCD screen, Camera lens, Aperture/
Iris.
Fig.1.1 Exposure Triangle
· IRIS: Iris/Aperture is control the flow of light entering the
lens.Iris/Aperture is measured by f-stop. (The lower the f-number, the
larger the lens opening.)
· SHUTTER: The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and closes to
allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film.
SHUTTER SPEED: Shutter speed is measured in seconds.
Fig.1.2 Shutter Speed
· ISO: Originally referred to the sensitivity of film—it's "light gathering"
ability.
（The lower the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and
the finer the grain. ）
2. LENS PERSPECTIVE
The are wide angle lens, standard lens and tele lens.
Fig.1.3 Lens Perspective
Lenses can be categorized by FOCAL LENGTH（the shorter the focal length,
the wider the angle of view and vice-versa.）.
Fig.1.4 Focal Length
DEPTH OF FIELD: The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp
and in focus.
Fig.1.5 Depth of field
The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field.
Wide angle lens is especially useful for landscape photography or
street photography.(almost everything is in focus)
Standard lens offer a fairly accurate representation of what the
human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective.
Tele lenses are great for isolating a subject that is far
away.
3. DSLR V.S SMARTPHONE
Smartphones vs Cameras = Convenience vs Quality
PRO: Familiar with device, Good quality, Easy to learn
CON: Still limited, Good but not great, Non-ergonomic shape
Week 6 (28/MAY/2024)
In this lesson we reviewed and emphasised again the fundamentals of principles
of design.
The fundamentals of principlesof design are first emphasis and the second
balance and alignment , contrast, repetition this proportion , movement and
then we have white space before.

Exercise2（Week6: Recoloring Black & White)
Part1
In week 6, we are to recolour a black and white image following this YouTube
tutorial by Mr. Martin.
Fig.2.4 & 2.5 Recolouring progress and final recoloured photo
I used the “Overlay” blend mode because the “soft light” made the color of the
photo a bit strange. I used an Adjustment Layer to adjust the saturation because
the skin color selection looked a little pale. I also added shadows to the face
to make it look less flat.Part2
For part 2 of Exercise 2, we are to follow along with this demo of advanced
recolouring.
Here are some of the layers I used.

Feedback
Week5
Ability to practice proficiently with Ps, Hearst Mansion Exercise
and outcome of my version of Hearst Mansion are completed well as
required.
Week6
The task of re-coloring was very interesting, and I learned a lot about Photoshop knowledge and application skills, and I had a lot of fun.
Reflection
Through this task, I have a deeper understanding of Ps software. And in these two tasks learned a lot of very practical Ps use tips and tools to use. This is very happy and beneficial to me.
