Vampire Teeth Tutorial

Before the edit

Vampire transformation

Complete version

For this image, I first used the burn tool in order to give the skin a darker and colder look which is stereotypical to vampires. One thing that was to be considered with this was the over-doing. If the effect is over-applied, then the subject can often become discoloured. Then desaturating some of the colour gives the skin a greyer look.
Next, I painted over the eyes with a deep red colour that was completely opaque, and so I then increased the transparency so that the eyes could be seen and still have a dark red tint to them, giving off dangerous and sinister colour connotations.
By lassoing the teeth, I found that I was able to then select that part and transform, warp. This allowed me to stretch the teeth to point where they looked sharp and vampiresque. However, the problem with this would be a stretch that has moved too far, rendering the teeth to look too sharp beyond the point of legitimacy.

Aperture Settings

Thin depth of field

Medium depth of field

 Aperture settings determines the depth of field on a shot. The size of the hole on the lens that lets in the light reacts with cells at the back of the camera to form a visual image.
The size of the aperture can be adjusted to let more or less light in. The size is determined with the F-stop setting. On most SLR cameras, the smallest F-stop setting is F22, and the largest is F3.5.
F3.5 will give a thin depth of field, F9 will give a medium depth of field, and F22 will give a thick depth of field.
One particular problem with seeking a thick depth of field would be camera shake. Camera shake is possible because with a higher F-stop setting, the shutter speed decreases and this means that the camera has to be held in an exact position for a longer period of time. This can be especially frustrating when the camera is either held in hand, or in a precarious position. In order to tackle this problem, a tripod can be used which ensures camera stability.
