Using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Photoshop is a graphics editing program by Adobe that is used by professionals and regular consumers. It is usable on a variety of operating systems and is available in a variety of languages. This program can be used to create images from scratch or to alter existing images. Photoshop skills are useful and can lead to gainful employment. You can get a degree or take classes in the use of Photoshop or you can teach yourself to use the program using this and other tutorials.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is photo processor and image organizer eveloped by Adobe Systems for. It allows viewing, organizing and retouching a large number of digital images.

Combining the both of it will give a better result.

This is just an example output of using the two and this  picture was used for the magazine project in our course.

THE SHOT

Types of Shots

1. Extreme Long Shot - This framing is sometimes referred to as an Establishing Shot and is perfect for emphasizing the background and environment the character is against, especially as the first shot within a sequence. When shooting at this kind of distance, it is hard to see the subtle dramatic performances of the character.
2. Long Shot - In the Long Shot the whole subject is in the frame. The usual convention of the Long Shot is the character's head and feet are nearly touching the top and bottom of frame. As we are now closer to the subject, it is easier to identify aspects of the character and their performances, but also retain the audiences' awareness of the overall environment they are in, which makes the Long Shot a good framing for an action scenes and observing social groups.
3. Medium Shot - The convention of Medium Shot, is (when framing a person) approximately half their body is in shot, ie. from waist up. More subtle performances and detailed actions can be seen. The Medium Shot is a good framing for conversation scenes between characters, especially if hand movements are part of the performance.
4. Close-Up - The Close-Up Shot shows a detail of the overall subject or action- ie. the head or hands if it is a person. Close-Up of characters are good way to engaging the audience into the character emotionally. We also note, as we get closer to the character, we begin to lose the background information, therefore emphasizing the subject, rather than the background.
5. Extreme Close-Up Camera shot showing detail of a person, this is closer than a close up shot.

AUTHORS POINT OF VIEW

I always love in developing picture and placing it in an album, frame or scrapbook. By doing this I preserve all the memories that I don't want to forget. Every time I want to reminisce I just used to look at the pictures and out of the blue I smiled without noticing it.

One of the happiest event that happened in my life.
This photo serves as memory that I finished my high schools days together with my friends.

Who will forget this! This photo is a taken while we are waiting in the City Plaza of Calapan for the first outing that we had planned.

Just like other teenager we are fond in taking photo.
This is taken while waiting to our last subject professor in Filipino.

Photography is not my hobby, not a past time but more on an enjoyment. Enjoyment in capturing every events that happen to my life. Every photos that captured from the lens of camera gives us a picture of a particular situation that we encounter.

Enhancing Your Picture Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a photo editing and management computer program developed by Adobe Systems for Windows and OS X. Via a single user interface, it allows the viewing, management, and editing of a large number of digital images.^[1] Lightroom and Photoshop share many of the same photo editing capabilities but with very different strengths, namely Lightroom's non-destructive behavior and Photoshop's ability to layer and manipulate specific elements of an image.
Lightroom is not a file browser like Adobe Bridge, but rather an image management application database which helps in viewing, editing, and managing digital photos. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_Lightroom)
