The settings of this photo are: F 40, 1/60s and 2200 ISO. I took this photo by placing the subject (the toy) infront of a white bacdrop to increase the contrast of the toy and the bacround while giving it good lighting. I then took the photo and made a mask of it. I put the mask onto a pixle layer that I willed to be just black and then I modified the mask to make the toy look old and broen. Then I got a smoke stock image from google and imported it onto the photo and I gave it its own layer so that I could select parts of it without selecting the toy more easily. I then positioned the smoke into place and removed parts of it.

This image is the interior of a church in Cornwall. I liked how the windows made strips of light through the pews. It was quite dark in the church, so I had to use a high ISO - 2500. I set the aperture to f 3.5. so that the image would be lighter. I was not using a tripod, so I set the shutter speed to 1/60. I chose this number as I wanted lots of light in the image to allow me to have the Iso as low as I could set it while also reducing camera shake. I tried to keep the Iso low so that I would get less noise in my image. I wanted to have the flag to be the main attention in this image with the pews and rows of light leading the viewer towards it.

I photographed this spitfire at the goodwood revival. To make sure that the plane was not blured I set the exposrue time to 1/800s. I used the widest aputure that I could use while zoomed into 300mm. This was f 5.6. It was a bright day so I was able to keep the ISO low at 160. I wanted to keep it as low as I could to reduce image noise. When I eddited to the image, the plane was sligtly siloetted. To fix this, I selected the plane and increased the brightness of it. I also sharpend the image.

To take this photo, I took a photo of a lit candle with a low aperture (6.3) to make it a dark image, pushing the light of the flame towards the viewer's attention. I used a fast shutter speed (1/160 of a second) so that the flame was not blurred. I used a low ISO (400) to keep the image dark. When I took this image it was just a normal flame on a normal candle. I decided that I wanted the side of the candle to lead the viewer's attention to a flame that was more interesting. In affinity photo, I darkened the image more while keeping the candle visible but dark enough to have the main focus on the flame. Next, I looked for a stock photo of the flame and I imported it into my work. I used the selection tool to go around the flame and I then placed the new flame over the old one removing the old flame so that the viewer would not be able to see it. Then I increased the contrast of the photo and made the image look a bit more natural.

I set up this image using my light box. I placed some blue tack behind the compass to tilt it slightly. I then placed a red light to the right of the compass vertically to put a red stripe across it. I also had a plain light facing straight at the compass. I set my camera on a small portable tripod. This is because I was using a slow shutter speed (1/50) and did not want any camera shake. I had the aperture wide open to let in more light however, I also wanted to have the image clear, so I chose an f-number of 5. Because this was too dark, I then set the ISO to 400. After this, I put the image into affinity photo and increased the contrast as well as removing all of the backgrounds on the image, I did this by selecting the compass and then inverting the selection. After this, I painted the background black to make the compass appear like it's floating in a void and make the focus solely on the compass.

I photographed this image as I liked how the light looks with the metal rings around it. I used an aperture of 8 so that the image will be sharp as well as kept the image dark to add to the atmosphere of the image. I used a shutter speed of 1.100s so that the image would be dark as well as eliminate any camera shake that may be prominent. In the test image, I used an ISO of 120. However, this was too dark so for the final image, I used an ISO of 200. I decided to increase the ISO instead of lower the shutter speed or aperture as I wanted to keep the sharpness of the image. When editing this image, I used a clarity adjustment to help define the metal rods. I also slightly decreased the shadows to ad more atmosphere.
