Boguk gets snappy! (Continued)

Clause 6. Explain at least two of the following, and provide photographs as evidence of your understanding:
a. the use of a lens hood
b. the use of filters
c. depth of field
d. what camera shake is and how to avoid it example on this page
e. how to avoid 'red eye' when using a flash example on this page
f. the use of a remote control or self-time function

I don't have a lens hood or any filters for my camera so I can't do those sections, and if my camera has a remote-control system, I haven't found it yet! I do understand the concept of depth of field (the range of distance as measured along the lens axis for which the subject is rendered acceptably sharp in the photographic image) but as I usually use my camera set on "auto" controlling it doesn't come into play (see this page for some photos I took on manual settings - increasing aperture and shutter speed.) I do, however, know how to "fake" depth of field effects with digital software :-) I have, therefore, elected to do sections d and e.
For an excellent summary of the way depth of field relates to digital cameras, visit this website.

 

Clause 7. Show evidence that you can use digital editing software to do at least two of the following:
a. Crop pictures ......................... example on this page
b. Add special effects ...................example on this page
c. "Stitch" pictures together ............example on this page
d. Remove, or add details ...............example on this page

Note that I have elected to do all the sections in this clause, and also that some of the examples cover more than one section!
