WHITE POINT

This is the oroginal photo:


1. Photoshop

* The most stunning way is to ...
* Select an image with white balance issues
* Image->Adjustments->Levels
* Click on the eye dropper on the lower right (the far right one that says "Set White Point"
* In the image click on something that should be white
* It will automatically correct the image with that point being plain white

There are many different ways to do this!

This is the one I changed:

PHOTOSHOP

I used the tutorial on how to change hair color, this is the website: http://tutorialblog.org/photo-retouching-change-hair-color/

Everything was pretty easy except I had trouble on getting the orange to start this was because the white square at the bottom of the left on photo shop was in front of the black square. MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU!

DEPTH OF FIELD

The depth of field is the distance around the focal plane which is very focused. Or when you see a picture such as the one below where one subject is focused, but the aren't as focused. Two things that affect the depth of field are the aperture and the focusing distance. When you have less aperture you can see farther or in other words it won't be so blurry. The focusing distance is using your zoom on some cameras or on other just adjusting the lenses.

TYPES OF PHOTOS

Blurred Action: This is when the photo is taken with a slow shutter speed. This doesn't mean the whole photo needs to be blurry it can just be the background or something. Also for a great blurry picture you can adjust the exposer time.


Stopped Action: This is when the shutter speed is very fast but still the picture is very clear. It is almost like a normal photo unless you somehow make it blurry. An example of this would be the picture of the tennis player about to hit the ball.


Panning: Panning is the effect which the camera or the video camera is moved horizontally or just scanning the subject. People who are most likely to use this is a photographer or someone filming a movie or just in general. You can set the shutter to different speeds to capture different effects such as slowing it way down (1/15 or slower) and freezing the picture.
