My Profile:
My Profile:
Age: 54
Occupation: Bricklayer/Lecturer.
Interests: Photography, Reading, and Keeping Healthy.
Qualifications: Level 2 and level 3 in photography.
Currently working: Part-time at Burton and South Derbyshire College.
Aims of doing this course which is a Level 3 diploma in Photography. I have been interested in photography for sometime now and enjoy doing courses in this department.
I have chosen to do wildlife and Macro work for this assignment.
For this assignment I have to get 10 images of wildlife and 10 images of macro work. I plan on getting birds for the first theme. (smaller birds that is.) And for the second theme I am planning to get eyes of subjects.
For the first theme I will using a Nikon camera body with a Sigma 500mm lens. Plus a Sony 450 body and 300mm lens.
The second theme a Nikon body with 50mm Macro lens.
I enrolled on the course a little late as I was teaching a class which was running along side of this course.
I do not plan on coming into the classroom each week as the sort of photography that I do is all outdoors and I do not have to rely on the studio in the photographic department. If the weather is nice and sunny then I can go and get the shots that I will require.
The macro shots that I require, again I shell do at the weekends or when the weather is wright for me to do them. I only plan on coming into class when I have the shots or when I need too as this can be done at home.
I plan on coming to class to download the photographs and to check that I am on the right track. I shell be going to class towards the end of the course so as to get things sorted on the computer and to sort things out with the printing of the pictures.
That side of the course I will enjoy doing as that is the side that I am the weakest on and I would like to get to know more about the printing side.

Assignment 310 Photo Image Output.
Printing your images is one of the most important things you can do. After capturing good quality images you don't want to ruin them with poor printing. Having a good set-up on the printing front is essential, by having your monitor colour corrected, this will give you good results. A software called Huey corrects the colour on your monitor so photo's and designs are more accurate. Huey adapts your monitor for changing room lighting and applies your personal preferences for viewing accurate colour all of the time.
This does not stop there, as you have to have a good quality printer, Epson and Canon do excellent printers and at good prices, the only draw back with these printers are the price of the cartridges. Again this does not stop there if you want to have excellent print outs you can have these printers profiled. By using the same cartridges and the same sort of paper, you can send off to have your printer profiled. By doing this, what you see on the screen you get on the paper. A draw back could be that you have to use the same cartridges and paper that you sent off to get excellent images, if you change the ink or paper then you will have to have them profiled again.
There are many sorts of good quality paper sheets to choose from photo Gloss, Photo Matt, Achieve, and Premium Gloss Photo Paper. This all depends on your personal test. Size of the prints with digital images are varied and providing you have shot the pictures on a large format with a (10-12 million pixel camera) then you can have large quality print outs. Again this is a personal preference. This can range from A4, A3 to A2.
You don't have to invest in all of the above, you can go some where and have them processed, but, this could be very costly and there is something good about processing them yourself.
All the above mentioned will need a good quality program to run from, the software is also very important depending again on cost the Photoshop range is first class. This starts at about £80 pounds and can go up too £2,000 plus depending on your personal needs and cost.
The out puts that I have are: All the pictures will be printed out on a A2 format and displayed, they are being displayed on screens around the college foyer at the Burton and South Derbyshire college. I have had some calenders printed off at Click and Richardson's Pharmacy Photographic departments. These images have been displayed on flicker and the blogger site for people to see. you can display images through internet sites by doing this they will seen world wide.
There are some photographs I have taken in an exhibition around the College on different floors, I have also published photo's through Bob's Books, there I have published calenders and a photo album. I have printed a lot of my own work and given people prints, I also have framed some of the images that I have taken and sold the odd one or two.
