LECTURES

Double Exposure
In this week's lecture, Mr. Fauzi introduced us "Double Exposure" and "Image Blending Mode". 

Double exposure refers to multiple exposures on the same film, which is a must-have technique for many people when they come into contact with cameras. The mysterious and indescribable visual effects often make people addicted to it. Nowadays, advanced automatic cameras have multiple exposure functions, which can be set using the function settings.

HEARST MANSION

In this week's task, we will merge a character from one image into another and use different tools such as filters, layers, muscles, etc. to make the character conform to the atmosphere and tone of the other image.

Final Outcome


REFLECTIONS

Experience - In this mission, I fused an independent portrait photo into another photo. This process is not as difficult as imagined. I adjusted the color tone and clarity of the character based on the light source and color tone of another photo, and added shadows of the character to better blend them together.

Observations - The most difficult part of this task, in my opinion, is taking photos of oneself, which greatly tests one's understanding of the shooting angle and proficiency in using the camera. The operation of editing with Photoshop is not difficult, but if the captured photo itself cannot blend into the environment photo to be used, the character will become difficult to complete.

Findings -  I have become more proficient in using masks to adjust the color of layers. By using Gaussian blur and reducing the saturation and brightness of reflections, we can create reflections in water and shadows on the ground.
