Introduction to Photography
Exercise - Cam whoring (Optional)
LECTURE
It was a rather relaxing lecture at first. Mr Vinod taught us how to edit pictures with a very sophisticated editing software, Photoshop. He said it is important that we edit photos in such a way that viewers can never tell if it has been edited before. He also taught us some handy new tricks on an innocent man whose picture was randomly taken from Google Search.
1. Dodge Tool - lightens areas (the man became so fair that girls would have been jealous)
2. Burn Tool - darkens areas (the man suddenly had dark eye bags)
3. Stamp Tool - duplicates certain areas (Mr. Vinod duplicated a nice section of the man's skin and used it to cover up all the pimples)
4. Blur Effect
5. Feathering - making the edges of an object blurred
Then he said we will be cam whoring ourselves. The lecture was suddenly not relaxing anymore.

FEEDBACK
Specific Feedback
- The mood of the picture is there but still prefers the one before editing.
REFLECTION
Editing photos are fine by me, but not with cam whoring. I do not know exactly why, but I am never a fan of taking my own photos and erasing the imperfection. Nevertheless, I did learn the basic editing by Photoshop.
