The document reviews Callum Harrison's photo shoot at Salford Quays aimed at capturing images for a poster promoting events at the location. Callum took photos of the buildings using various photographic techniques and manual camera settings. While the shoot went well, Callum realized after that he didn't capture enough photos to choose from. In his final images, Callum selected a photo of a bridge that he edited using selective coloring and soft focus. The editing included warming up the colors to make the water events look more appealing. In the end, Callum produced two posters promoting water-related events using his edited photos from the shoot.

2. Aim of Shoot
I went to Salford Quays to take some
photos. With the photos I had planned to
create a Poster for an event that would be
taking place at Salford Quays.
I would be taking images of the different
building around Salford Quays trying to
use the rules of photography Including
Symmetry, Rules Of Third, Framing,
Leading Lines, Balancing Elements, Depth
Of Field and Patterns.
3. Description of shoot
The shoot took place at Salford Quays
Lowry. I had planned to take different
architectural photos of the buildings in
and around the Lowry. I used manual
camera settings to get the desired images
experimenting with shutter speed,
Aperture and ISO.
The shoot went well as I had taken
different photos and had a few that I
really liked before editing however, I
changed from my original plan as I didn’t
take as many photos as I needed resulting
in me only having a minor group of
photos to choose from.
4. Final Images
I chose the image with the bridge as one of my
final images. This is because I liked the
different levels and there were a few different
colours in the shot. I had planned to use
selective colouring effect and this shot had the
different colours which I needed.
In this Image I had planned to use depth of
field to focus on the bridge rather than the sky.
5. Editing Effects
The first idea that I had was to create a warmer look
to my images as I was advertising water events. The
original images were very cold and therefor would
not be appealing for anyone which is why I decided
to add a warm look to the image as the water events
would look more lively and appealing rather than
dull and less appealing.
The first thing I did when I started editing the
original image was the use of the RGB colour curves
to change the levels of each colour with the result
having a green/yellow tint.
After adding different 2 new solid colour layers
(cream and blue) changing the blue layer blending
mode to screen and the cream to soft light. Add an
orange linear colour to a new layer. Add a solid black
layer and use the elliptical tool to cut out an oval
shape add a mask and feather to 200px and finally
change the opacity and fill so it blends with the
background.
(Refer to ‘Photoshop Manipulation’ for more of the
editing steps/process)
6. Final Images
When I had edited my final images they
were as I had expected them to be. I used
selective coloring and added a soft focus
effect for the top image. I really liked this
image as the different colors create a
similar result of balancing elements. I also
changed the color of the water to a more
blue color.
The Colors in the bottom image are very
bright, I wanted to create an image with a
vintage look to it which is why I chose
these colors, I did originally plan to add
tint of a blue/purple color but decided
against it during editing as id didn’t blend
very well with the orange and yellows.
7. Capture Log
• Setting – Manual
• Aperture - 4.7
• ISO: ISO -100
• White Balance –
Auto
8. Rejected Images
After looking at the images I had taken, there
were a few that I didn’t believe were good
enough to use.
The images on the left are a few examples of
the images that I didn’t use. There are different
reasons why I didn’t use each of the images, I
didn’t use the top image because there was
nothing about it that I liked, the depth of field
on the bottom right image was too strong for
the image. Finally the bottom right image I had
tried to use reflection but I the reflection
wasn’t anything special.
9. Final Posters
Here are my two final posters from the Salford
Quays Shoot.
Because both of my final images had water in
them I decided to edit my posters related to
water events.
The events I covered were: USWIM &
Manchester Cruises.
10. What Went Well
I think that the shoot went well overall, I had taken a number of photos and had a selection of images to
choose from. If I did the shoot again however, I would take more photos because although I had enough
images to choose from, there were only a select few of them which I believed were good enough to be
used for my final Images/Posters.
