My first try at Mundane Photography

This didn't work as well as i'd hoped however this was my first try so i am going to create a new idea and use this as a stepping stone, i thought i'd upload it anyway to see how i progress.

Fruitman- Photoshop

Fruitman- Photoshop

During today's class we did a Photoshop tutorial. As you can see we had pictures numbered 1-9 to create the fruitman. We learnt different photoshop short cuts such as:

cmd-z = Undo

cmd-a = Select All

cmd-x = Cut

cmd-c = Copy

cmd-v = Paste

cmd-o = Open

cmd-w = Close (Mac Only)

cmd-p = Print

cmd-q = Quit

cmd -+ = Zoom in and out

cmd o = fit to window

Spacebar ( Photoshop only) = Move Around

Alt= Duplicate

Shift= Constraines, Adds.

Cntr S= Save

F= Fill Screen

I enjoy using Photoshop and learning new techniques. I need to learn more short cuts and to use them at all times.

Manchester Art Gallery

Manchester Art Gallery

I really enjoyed looking at some of the pieces in Manchester art gallery, they were very well presented and nice to photography. As well as black and white pieces there were really bold colourful pierces as well. One day i'd quite like to make my own piece of art to photograph, experiment with this style and different techniques. Here are some of the images i took:

Wish you were where?

This was one of my favorite pieces i saw during the day, i think it has a beautiful meaning and effect, so many different wishes of different people and each card tells a story of one persons life.

Photography- Urbis Football Museum

Urbis Football Museum 

Pascale Marthine Tayou
Gold Nuggets 2010
"Young African's Fleeing Poverty dream of fame and riches playing in Europe. Often taking enormous risks to forfill their dreams. Footballs dripping fake jewlery suggest that for most it is a false promise."

Romuald Hazome
Exit Ball 2009
Plastic And Metal
"Football, huge time bomb, or both?"

 After going to the museum i can rule out this type of photography even though i found these two particular pieces interesting, i wasn't really intrigued by football photography, It isn't an interest i have in everyday life and i don't think i would have an interest in photographing it.
