Holland Sea

This picture was taken Holland while i was on a boat. i edited this image on iPhoto instead of photoshop to see what effects i could get. i added two different types of effects to the image, fade colour and boost colour. They both gave it a bit more sharpness. i then changed the contrast to +37, just like photoshop. i really do like the image as it seems to be in proportion with the skylike running through the middle of the photograph.

Isolated Image

I edited this image to make it look isolated. The red in the flower is really bright and stands out from the rest of the image. i selected the flower using the select tool and then selected inverse and changed the contrast to make the image darker. i then selected inverse again to make the flower selected and brightened it with the brightness/contrast tool. This makes the flower look isolated from the rest of the leafs.

Blurred movement, slow shutter speed

This picture was taken in Brick Lane of some passers by. i really like this image because of the way the image was taken. i took it very quickly using a flash gun. The shutter speed was slow making the people blurred and the background still. i scanned the image onto the computer then uploaded it onto blogger. i left the image how it was taken.

Frozen movement, fast shutter speed

This picture was taken in Holland. As you can see the image is of a fountain. My camera was set on a first shutter speed at 1/500 s. This froze all action. The water is not blurred and nor are the people. The droplets of the image are very sharp and so are the people even though every single one of them were moving. i only up'd the contrast on this image to make it brighter.

Black n white, colour in CAD

I opened this image in photoshop and turned it from black and white to colour. i selected image>adjustments>black and white. You can change the reds, yellows, greens, cyans, blues and magentas. i moved the reds, yellows and greens to 100% and left cyan at 60%, the blues at 20% and the magentas at 80%. Doing this makes the contrast of the image better.

Long Depth of Field

This is my long depth of field photograph. i didn't edit it is just crossed processed film which gives it this effect. Most of the image is in focus that is why it is long depth of field. Although the back is a little bit out of focus it is still long depth of field because the main subject(the flowers) are in focus.

White Dropper


On this image i used the white dropper tool. Image>adjustments>levels. I tried changing the dropper a number of times. The most effective was when i moved the dropper to make the image much darker. i don't think it looks better but i think it looks really effective. All the colours have changed. From bright pinks/purples/yellows to dark pinks/purples/yellows. The edited image(the first image) is darker but looks sort of scary and dark.
