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.

Short Depth of Field

This is my short depth of field image. It was taken in kew gardens on a film camera using slide film. This is why the colours are the way they are because they were cross processed. The apeture was set at F.5 but i cannot remember the shutter speed.

Curves

I edited this picture using curves. i just slightly moved the curve to make the image brighter. i went to images>adjustments>curves to make the curves box come up. i don't really like the edited image(the first image) because it does look quite fake. i changed the curves a number of times but this looked the best. If i moved the curve down the image went very grey and dull.

Telephone

This picture was converted from black to white using layers/hue and saturation. i clicked layers>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation>ok. Another window opened up after so i could change the saturation to -100. This made the image go to black and white. Then to adjust it to make it look better i reopened the layer drop down menu>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation>mode(changed the mode to colour)>ok. Then clicked ok again on the hue/saturation window. i then double clicked the hue/saturation layer 1 so i can start making the picture look better. Once the window opened, i changed master to red, blue then green adjusting each of them to make them look better then clicked ok. i then merged the layers together so i could save the picture as a jpg.

This is the 2nd conversion method. i clicked layer>new adjustment layer>channel mixer>ok. Once the window opened i selected monochrome, this made the image got black and white. i then changed red to 70% green, to 30% and blue to 20%. i added hue/saturation layer and clicked ok. i then moved the hue/saturation layer down so it was 2nd, double clicked it then changed the saturation so that it looked better. To save it i merged the layers to make it a jpg.

Out of both conversion methods i prefer the channel mixer method. This gave the image more of a contrast when i changed it from colour to black and white.
