PHOTO EDITING...PHOTO EDITING...When editing photo’s on Photoshop I used a range of different tools…
I firstly edited the image using the adjustment options, adjusting colours to make sure the photograph wasn’t too dull or too bright.
I then used the lasso tool to select the person in the image and cut them away from the background. Then I
used the adjustment options to further blur the background. I then re-pasted the image of the person
onto the background and placed it exactly where it was previously.
I then made any minor changes to the images, such as using the blur tool to remove unwanted shadow or marks.

Camera…Camera…The photographs that are feature on my front cover and contents page were taken using a digital SLR camera and the images used on my double page spread were taken using a normal digital camera.
When using both cameras, I ensured that the flash was used only when needed to avoid any unnecessary shadows and brightness.
When using the SLR camera, I used two different lenses to give me a wider range of camera angles as one lens allowed me to zoom in further than the other.
Nikon Digital SLR camera
When using the normal digital camera I made sure the mode was set correctly for the type of photograph I wanted to ensure I got the correct result.
