Selecting Images For Submission

In class we selected our final 12 images for submission. I created a contact sheet of them on Lightroom and printed it on A3 paper. We then hung them on the whiteboard and went around picking three images from each others sheets of which ones we thought were the best.

Best 12 photos so far, portfolio

On Imaging class we had to choose our top 20 best images , then decide on the best 12 images and make a contact sheet in A3.

Then we printed them and put it up the wall in class and we were asked to go though all of them and select our favourite 3 of other class mates.

This were my likes and the ones that has a like tag are the ones chosen by my lecturer.

Photo Safari Review

What equipment did you use to capture the photographs and why?

Our group used a Canon EOS 200D and Canon EOS 100D. We used these cameras because that is what our group had access to, and they are good quality. There was two photographs, so each one had their own camera to capture their own images.

How did you transfer the images to the computer or device?

Our group used email as we believe it would be the best way, but the computer crashed. We now realise we should have used Drop Box, as it is a more sufficient way.

How did you transfer images to the image editors?

As mentioned in the previous question, we used emails but it was not the best way to transfer those images to the editors. The images were selected by the editors and they opened the images up in Lightroom to edit.

What software did you use to chose and organise the images?

Our image editors organised the images in Lightroom. We chose Lightroom as out editing platform because we are more comfortable with it and believe it is a more sufficient program to use.

What software did you use to optimise the images?

The images were also optimised in Lightroom. Once the images were edited we opened Word and copy and pasted the images into Word to put them into a collage.

Did you discover new and quicker ways of working with your digital photographers?

Our group did discover new and better ways. Our group did not finish the tsk on time as the photographers were unaware there was a timescale. The task was to be finished by 3:20pm. The photographers did not come back to 3:05pm leaving the editors no time to put the images together.

If you were to do this challenge again what would you do differently?

Our group would give the photographers a timescale, and explain what timescale they had to complete the pictures. Our group would also use Drop Box as a way to transfer images, as the email system crashed.

Top 12 Portfolio Selection

Today in imaging class we selected our top 12 images for our portfolio and put them onto a contact sheet. We then printed the sheet out and had to peer assess our classmates work by picking the top three images from each sheet.
