Task 11: Visual Diary: Unit 1 (1.3) and Unit 2 (1.3) CL & DM by Louis Holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24 Visual Diary en-us 2016-09-22 11:16:28 UTC 2026-03-01 00:37:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Thursday 22nd September 2016  louis_holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/125666092 Today I learnt about Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed. I learnt how to make pictures look different with these and how they can look like great photos or bad photos. I found out how to set up a padlet and how to use that padlet for work. I feel like the lesson didn't last that long, If I had the opportunity to lean more in this lesson I would like to know more :)]]> 2016-09-22 11:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/125666092 Monday 26th September 2016 louis_holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/126370609 Today we went outside and around the college to take pictures using the DSLR. We had to consider techniques like line, texture and long depth of field. ]]> 2016-09-26 13:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/126370609 Monday 3rd October 2016 louis_holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/127874457 Today we had to look up about the camera obscura and the pinhole camera and had to write information about it.]]> 2016-10-03 13:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/127874457 Thursday 6th October 2016 louis_holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/128756064 ·         What was your target/task?
My task was to use Photoshop effectively. I also had to write of all the different tools we used and write the definitions.

·         How did you complete the target/task?
I learnt how to use it well and how to use the tools on the pictures. For example the clone stamp tool and using shape tools to attach letters onto.

·         What new skills did you learn?
I learnt how to use all the different tools in Photoshop. Out of these skills I learnt about the cloning stamp tool and the spot healing brush. These are both used to remove spots or blemishes but i preferred the spot healing brush because it was faster and easier to use.

·         What were the barriers?
It was hard to keep up with the lesson because we had to write at the same time while they were telling us what the other tools did.

·         How did you overcome the barriers? 
I asked people sitting with me how to use the tools.

·         What areas do you feel you need improving on? 
I need to learn how to use layers effectively. To do this i could ask for help or look up tutorials on the internet.

·         What will you do to improve? 
Ask for more help and practice more at the tools i have trouble with.

I had to put more work onto Padlet and later on I had to go out and take pictures for my final shoot. I have taken pictures that include formal elements like texture and form. The fact is I have a problem I don't like to see a new update and it doesn't have the same thing to do so when you have a phone and a connection between your friends or a computer it doesn't show you that it doesn't have the time you have ]]> 2016-10-18 10:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/131404440 Tuesday 18th October 2016  louis_holwell https://padlet.com/louis_holwell/hqdze4s5tw24/wish/131466070 Today I had to do more work on the computers to get up to date with my work.
