Adding Text

When you add text to a image you have to click on the little T tool on the left hand side of the page, (which is shown above) then you write the text you wish to type (on this image, i did a dandelion poem so it fitted in with the image) then make your writing how big you want it and what font you want it to be, then you have simply just got text shown on your image. Below is a before and after screen shot of my images.

'history brush tool'

When cloning a image you simply click the clone samp tool then go over the image you want to make double, then simple brush on the other image on another part of the page, wherever you wish the other image to be, then you have two images, then you have to select the history brush tool and that is just like an erase tool but it brings up the image from before, you use this to rub out the outside of the image to make it neater.

adding colour

 to add colour to your image you have to select a image that you want to add colour to, then change the colour that you wish to add, then you simply use the brush tool to draw onto the part of thei mage you want to change the colour. Then click onto the layer part and change it to 'pin light' and the image will turn out like below. i also just simply changed the image to black and white too make the colour stand out more.

Research - Eadweard muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge is english photographer who was born in Kingston in April 1830. He spent most of his life in the united states. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion. He does most of his work in film strips. In 1872 he was a race horse owner and taken a position on a popularly debated question of the day; whether all four horses hooves are off the ground at the same time during a trot. 
In later studios he used a series of large cameras that used glass plates placed in a line, each one being triggered by a thread as the horse passed. the picture below is 'muybridges the horse in Motion. This image is similar to mine as it is in a sequence. They are in a series like my images are and are in black and white, although mine our in colour.This image is a small image and my image is bigger. They are not based on the same subject. 
The image on the right hand side, is another picture i liked as it has lots of pictures in the image and shows the different things in the image. Like different steps to dancing. This image is similar to my images as there in a sequence, however there is more images on this sequence and this image is in black and white where as mine is in colour. they re both in a series and both of my images and these images are large files. Our images are not really composed in the same way, as his look like they have been taken inside and my images were taken outside. they seem to be at pretty much the same distance, and ild say my lighting is brighter compared to these ones. 
  

Research - Duane Michals

Duane Michals is a american photographer, who was born in February 1932. He self taught himself. He works in sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy. he has shot everything from life covers, to fashion spreads for vogue magazine to annual reports for the new york times. He was influenced by robert Frank and Rene Magritte. Duane Michals is one of the few photographers where his equipment is inconsequential. He couldn't care less about what film or camera he is using. He is interested in the things he cant capture with his camera. He is greatly influenced by the surrealists and his pictures are mostly in black and white, they often have a dreamlike quality. They are naive in the sense they look like old fashioned photographs. His big themes that he does are 'death, love, family, spirituality. 




This image is not really similar to mine however it goes in a pattern and sequence which mine does too. Both our images go in a series which makes them similar too, Both the images are Large files. There not really based on the same subject. I think this image is interesting as its only in a sequence of 4 but it clearly shows the different motions in the image. 
 
this photo is called 'chance meeting and was published in 1970. This image is similar to my images because he has done them in a sequence and captured the different things happening in the image. His images are in black and white and mine our in colour. Both of our images are in a series and both our images are large files. The composition on this image is similar to mine as both mine and this image is taken outside and taken with people in it moving in different motions. The lighting is obviously brighter in my image as this ones in black and white and mine is in colour.

organise and present images sequentially

then you have to select and drag your images onto the page, and selecting your size. Then drag another image across which you want on your page and click on edit, 'transform'  and 'again' until you have all of your images onto your page. then you have to create a border around your image, by doing this you on your picture, then click on edit 'stroke' then change your 'px' to 20, and you have a black border around your image, do this to all of your images, you change change the colour if you choose too.
