I have now decided on my final twelve images for portfolio and have begun to put them through photoshop.
The first task was to copy the 'raw' file to psd in order to work on them and also copy to 'jpeg' for my blog.
The main adjustments required are cropping, and since it was raining when I took some of the pictures in the Lake District, removal of rain spots which got on to the lens between shots.
I practiced on the picture above which was taken in the Langdales as a panorama, I took three quick shots of the valley and put these together in photoshop, although I now realise I should have taken them in portrait not landscape since some of the detail has been lost in cropping. It worked out pretty well but have not been able to add this to my blog since the upload picture command seems unable to cope with the size of the file.
I have also to think about naming each picture. Steve talked to us about the implications of the names we choose, either being a connotation, and having cultural and/or emotional associations, or being a denotation, which has a dictionary definition of a word devoid of emotion, attitude, or colour.
For example calling a picture of a harbour, 'harbour' would be a denotation since it is merely descriptive, but if it was called 'pastel harbour' this implies soft light and pale colours, perhaps something more romantic.
