6x final edited images from Stone Bridge City Farm

For my final 6 images below i had to edit each one and i also had to make sure they were all centered properly.

First i had to open a new document onto Photoshop  

With all of these images i put them into Photoshop and then i used the crop tool to just get am image of the animal that i want. Then i used my Levels and curves tool to get the right colours and textures with my images.

With my image of the cow i used the tool called Hue/Saturation and then i put the saturation all the way down to -100 to make the image look black and white.

My camera settings for these pictures: 

Tv (shutter speed): The shutter speed that i used was 125 because it's a fast shutter speed and it was good because the animals moved around a lot so i had to make sure the image wasn't blurry. The ISO that i used was 200-800 because it was a cloudy day without much sunlight so i had to have it quite high but not too high to make the image over exposed. Also i changed the White balance to Cloudy. I also had the Aperture set to F4.5.

With my images i used two different lenses:

18-55mm which i used for close up shots of the animals that were close to the fence but for the longer shots of the animals on the other sides of their pens i had to use my 75-300mm lens to still get a close up of the animal but with them still quite far away. 

Week 1 - Stonebridge Farm Photography proposal

At Stonebridge city farm they have a range of different animals such as; Rabbits, Chickens, Guinea pigs, Cows, Sheep, Horses, Pigs, Goats, Birds, Bee's, Turtle, Tortoise and Ducks. The animals that i am going to focus on are going to be the Cows, Birds, Chickens and the horses and maybe the Tortoise. While taking a picture of the animals i must take in consider is to avoid using the flash because animals can easily be spooked by the flash and the best light for shooting animals is the natural light, and also i will have to watch out for over exposing the white animals and i have to be careful not to lose detail on dark fur or feathers and one of the main things i have to consider to get my camera down to the height of the animal to get the best photos. With the camera settings i will have to make sure that i get the right ones for each shot which means that i will have to play around with the setting a bit until the shot looks right so i will have to change the ISO, Apertrue and the shutter speed and also i could change the shot so it had a shallow depth of field or a deep depth of field. And its also depending on what the whether will be like so i will also have to change the settings to adjust to it. And also the camera setting that i am going to use is Manual(M) so i can change the shutter speed and the aperture and the ISO separately. After i have taken the pictures i will put them onto Photoshop and then i will the crop tool to crop out the bit of the picture that i want and then i will use the pen tool to cut it out more so it isnt as a box and then i will get another picture that i took and then i will cut that out and put the picture that i have already cut out and put it on top of the other picture so it creates a creature and then i will use the stamp tool to blend the two pictures together better.
