in this photograph i increased the brightness and contrast. I did this because it gives the photograph more detail as you can now see the direction in which the hair is going on the horses face as well as the clearer reflection in her eye.

To edit this photograph I cropped out the space to the left. I done this so that it was a clearer image of the pineapple. Additionally, I increased the brightness and the saturation this is so that you are able to see the texture of the pineapple more clearly.

Tone Work Diary

Edited

To edit the photograph, I changed the effect to black and white. I did this because it shows the tone within the horses face and all the different shades. I did this by using photoshop, which is an editing programme for photographs.

The black and white effect clearly presents the different shades in the photograph. Additionally the flash from the camera shows the different shades in the camera.

This photograph of the nuts has a variety of shades if the browns, however I felt the colours needed to be edited, this is so that the darker shades could be seen more. i did this edit by adding an effect and adding more saturation. this therefore gives the photograph more depth as you are able to see the different marks on the nuts more clearly than before.

Documentary Definition

Definition

Documentary photography usually refers to a popular form of photography used to chronicle both significant and relevant to history and historical events and everyday life. It is typically covered in professional photojournalism, or real life reportage, but it may also be an amateur, artistic, or academic pursuit. 

My Interpretation

A day to day set of photograph that represents everyday life, or a specific event, or even relevant to some history. It can be documented in many ways, usually in professional photojournalism, but it can also be documented in an artistic or academic pursuit.

 

Tone Research Notes

Ansel Adams

Adams, Ansel (Feb. 20 1902 — Apr. 22, 1984), photographer and environmentalist, was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Charles Hitchcock Adams, a businessman, and Olive Bray. The grandson of a wealthy timber baron, Adams grew up in a house set amid the sand dunes of the Golden Gate. When Adams was only four, an aftershock of the great earthquake and fire of 1906 threw him to the ground and badly broke his nose, distinctly marking him for life. A year later the family fortune collapsed in the financial panic of 1907, and Adams’s father spent the rest of his life doggedly but fruitlessly attempting to recoup. 
Ansel Adams created a zone system. this is a technique that was created in the 1930's. It is an approach to a standardized way of working that guarantees a correct exposure in every situation, even in the trickiest lighting conditions such as back lighting, extreme difference between light and shadow areas of a scene, and many similar conditions that are most likely going to throw off your camera's metering giving you a completely incorrect exposure. The zone system divides a scene into 10 zones on the tonal scale (though there are variations of 9 and 11 zones). Every tonal range is assigned a zone. Every zone differs from the one before it by 1 stop, and from the one following it by 1 stop. So every zone change equals 1 stop difference. Zones are identified by roman numbers, with the middle tone (with 18% reflectance) being a zone V which is zone 5.
