As we near the end of term, we’re celebrating creativity at
Passport to Employability. This week’s guest contributor is Year 10 employee
Trinity, who reflects on her recent photographic work…
'My name is Trinity and I am in Year 10. I completed this
task for the NCFE Level 1 Award in Photography. I had to choose 10 images for my final
piece and to create a gallery-style display.
For my final piece, I chose twelve images. The first ten I
chose were my favourites from all the shoots I had previously done.
The
additional two I chose were more abstract images and resemble ones I would
usually put on my social media. These were Image 2 and Image 8. Image 2 was
edited using Paint.net. I took away the colour using a black/white filter and
enhanced the brightness.
Image 8 started off as an accident; it was
overexposed. I used Paint.net to decrease the brightness and I liked the idea
of using a blurry image for my final piece.
I used a Canon EOS 1200D to capture my photos. I like order
in photography because I normally lack order on a day to day basis.'
Elsewhere, employees studying for the NCFE Level 2
Certificate in Moving Image Production have been busy editing their final film
sequences, which we look forward to sharing with you next week, along with
photos from our final farewell to our Year 11 employees.
Paint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. It still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
ReplyDeleteSome of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.
