Digital-Photoshop!

For my Digital Photography class I had to take ten photos before christmas based on different camera techniques that I have learnt since September. All these photos have had two small slight changes added to them using Photoshop, another skill that I have learnt since being in LCFE.

 

 

Based on Colour - The photo has been brightened and the exposure was lowered.

 

Based on Pattern - I used Auto Tone and darkened the colour of the photo.

 

Based on Framing - I used curves on this.

 

Based on Leading Lines - I increased the exposure and increased the magenta filter.

 

Based on Symmetry - I used auto tone on this photo and and increased the vibrance.

 

Based on Pattern - I used Auto Colour and increased the saturation.

 

Based on Pattern and Texture - I used Auto Tone and Blured the corners.

 

Based on Rule of Thirds - I increased the exposure and contrast.

 

Based on Shutter Speed - I used Auto Colour on this and increased the exposure.

 

Based on Texture - I increased the exposure and used Auto Tone on this.

The Parlour Meeting Showing our Designs!

Aubars Pub in Limerick asked our Fashion Design class to design uniforms for their new bar called 'The Parlour' which is inspired by the 1800's look mixed with tweed and converse look, basically - Avril Lavigne meets Downton Abbey. Anyway, heres a few pictures from that day taken by moi.

 

 

Me and the fabulous most glamourous woman ever, Rose Griffin, who makes the best cupcakes, mincepies and wholemeal bread in all the land of Irelasnd. She was nervous for the meeting & I was excited!

 

Also, the college put up their christmas tree today and I thought it would be nice to get a close up showing of my digital photography skills that don't quite exist, but I like the photo.

 

Here is Katie Murphy, the next Mary Portas, showing her Fashion Designs to the staff of 'The Parlor' - A woman in action!

 

Here is the rest of the gang nervous and anxious for their meeting with the staff. Kate, Autumn, Avril & Veronica.

Winter weather!

 

I think this photo is a beautiful example of the weather Ireland can receive in Ireland. It was taken near my hometown Limavady in a place called Downhill at the beach in county Derry. It was taken at 1am when the moonlight hit the clouds and created the warm colours and shadows that we can see in the photo. The person responsible for the photo is Brian Fullerton - " The picture was taken around 1 in the morning . The moon light was so strong that it was throwing the shadows that you see on the wet sand of the beach. Picture is as it came off the memory card of the camera . It has only been converted from RAW format to JPEG - no photoshopping!"

Celeb Gossip!

Katy Perry's been named Billboard Woman Of The Year at their annual event in NYC. Carly Rae Jepsen was also there and she picked up the Rising Star honour, claiming that "dreams can come true." Oh, this is emotional.
Also today, Heidi Klum's held her annual Haloween party (a little bit late, in December) and she decided to dress up as Cleopatra and spend three hours getting crystals stuck on her face. As you do. It's okay though, cause Heidi found time to do some chartiy work and lift some boxes whilst the party was going on.
And finally, everyone's talking about a certain royal baby. K-Middy and Wills have announced they're expecting their first child and loads of celebs have taken to Twitter to express their delight

The Future for Me!!

 

Really delighted that I came across this course at GMIT in Galway recently. It really sounds like something I;d like to do ratherthan pure fashion design which just wouldn't ever suit me, ever. Atleast with this course I can do postgraduate courses in fashion such as Fashion Buying & Merchandising which is in DIT Dublin. I am excited for the future. Leaving home isn't something I find hard so I'm looking forward to my future and moving out and in to the big world!
