Contact Sheet (Hadrian’s Wall)

This is a contact sheet I made in class using photographs from a trip to ‘Hadrian’s Wall’ in England.

I used Adobe Lightroom Classic to make this.

The first thing I did was create a new catalogue and named it ‘Contact sheet’.

I then found 12 images I thought went well together and Imported them.

After Importing, I clicked on Print and chose a page grid of 4 rows and 3 columns  

Selecting the grid I wanted, I then went to Page Setup and changed it from A3 to A4

During this I noticed I didn't have any data on my sheet so I went down to the right side of Lightroom to find the Page Tab and tick the Photo Info box and select Exposure so that each photograph would have the exposure details on it.

Being pleased with everything I selected Printer.. to check that everything was going to print out okay (and make sure it was only one copy) I went down to the library to collect my Contact Sheet.

After this I wanted to post my image on tumblr so I made the image into a JPEG rather than a PDF which it was originally saved as.

I saved the image as PDF onto my desktop, after doing that I selected the image again from the File not Lightroom.

I then went up to file on the above tab of the image and exported it onto my drive as ‘Contact Sheet’ but not before changing it from a PDF to a JPEG.

I then logged onto my Tumblr and created a new post, inputting my image.

Alphabet Challenge

I was quite excited about our class alphabet challenge. Our task was to take a photo of the objects that will create our first name and place them into collage. At first, I was seeing all different letters but not the ones I needed :) Finally I found all of them, I was using my iPhone to take photos. I downloaded a "Layout" app and then I added photos to the right collage. I shrink images, added borders, saved in my gallery and posted on Tumblr.

Contact Sheet

A contact sheet is a piece of photographic paper that contains thumbnails of photos from a shoot allowing the photographer to have small previews of their photographs. this makes it easy for the photographer or client to pick out the good ones and chose the ones they want to print out.

How to Import, Optimise and Export Images using Adobe Bridge

7th November 2019

For Friday mornings Imaging Class we learned how to import optimise and export our studio photographs using Adobe Bridge.

Below are three key buttons which you will use they are located at the top of the screen. 

The button with a camera and plus icon is used to import photos from your hard drive or SD card. 

The button with the icon of an arrow pointing down and multiple pages can be used to view your photos and select the ones you like the most. 

The final button is camera raw this allows you to edit the photos you have selected.

When you are importing images your screen will look similar to this below. Here you can select and download the folder of image you want to edit

This is what View Mode looks like you can also add a rating to your images and reject the ones that you don't want if you want to close review mode click ‘X’ or ESC.

Camera Raw looks like this here you can start optimising your selected images you also have an option you to look at the comparison before and after optimisation.

When you export your optimised images you can rename your files, change the file destination and adjust the quality of your images.
