The photograph below is the one I chose to edit. The side of the science building is what is pictured below. This photograph allowed me to be able to be creative and come up with ways to make it look different while following the same theme. I decided to stay with a gloomy/dark feel to each edit.
The edit below I decided to play around with the brightness/contrast before applying the settings for the sepia effect. I did this to give it a darker look and highlight the sky a bit more.
In the next edit I went ahead lowered the brightness of the image and brought the contrast up tp give it that gloomy feel. I used the settings for the Cooltone that were provided.
In the next edit I chose to play around with the color balance. I wanted to make this feel like a late winter afternoon and really display a purple sunset like we've been experiencing in Mckenzie. This edit really reminded of that. The purple really lit up the sky and building.
This following edit I went off theme and decided to make the image feel like a night vision feel. To make this happen I played around with the levels tool.
My last edit is my absolute favorite. In this edit I chose to pick up the contrast and brought down that brightness. Then I used the doge and burn tool. I did this to help make it look like there is an incoming storm. I felt really good about this edit.
This is a nice composition with the geometric gridwork of lines contrasted with more organic shapes. The textures and backlighting work nicely in b&w. Each of your edits is nicely unique. In your third one you may have gone a bit wild with your color balance adjustments. Otherwise, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your overall composition of the photograph and I would have to agree that the last photo works really well. I really like the photo you played around with the color balance and made it purple which I think is very fitting for Bethel. The X-ray photo was a neat look into something different.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the transitions you had from picture to picture, while also explaining your process with each photo. It was a good representation of the steps you took to get your final edit. Your favorite edit, gave what it was suppose to give. Giving the stormy look, while also giving the gloomy look you wanted.
ReplyDeleteI love this angle that you presented in this shot. It's an original way to view a window with the added reflection of trees and various buildings in the background. Your edits definitely enhanced different elements by highlighting or contrasting the shapes and shadows. Very nice work :)
ReplyDeleteI really think the purple edit is extremely unique. Your b&w at the bottom turned out really well, especially with having the sky very dark.
