Blog posts.

Some people have not posted to their blogs in over a week. 
This is not good.  
Some people have got work that is falling behind, this is not good either.
If your blog is not up to date then I will be calling home on Thursday to speak to parents.
You have been warned folks. 
Sort it out please. 

Editing photos online

If you want to edit your photos to apply filters, alter colour values, add lighting effects and experiment with other techniques then try one of these five online editing tools.  Remember to grab screen shots to track the development of your work and to help you to build evidence of how you have manipulated and edited your photos for your evaluations.






Link your photos to your flickr account

 flickr 

Using flickr is use of another technology which is really useful for your for developing your skills and it will also help you to put lots of evidence into your evaluations.

Blog of the week!


This is fabulous work.  Really love the quality of the photography and the editing of those photos that is taking place.  If you want to know what you need to do get into the high grade boundaries take a look at this.  2 green cards and a chocolate bar for you!

Photo planning checklist

Have you mades sure that you have considered all of these elements for your photo planning?  A good quality plan will; 

  • Consider the people that are required for your photo shoot, what is their role? How are you going to communicate with them?  How will you let them know what you need them to do? How are you going to organise them?
  • Consider the locations, have you checked them beforehand with a location recce?  Have you considered the lighting issues?  Are there any issues which will cause potential risks to the people involved?  Have you shown evidence of how you will minimise these risks through a risk assessment? Have you used more than one location?
  • Have you planned for the range of shots you need? Have you identified the different variety of shots and angles that you will develop?
  • Have you planned for the costumes, hair, make-up and accessories?  Have you included a few alternatives two show variety?
  • Have you planned the facial expressions and body language of your models?  How will this reinforce the representations that you wish to construct? What are these representations?  
  • Have you planned your use of time, equipment and resources in detail?
