ok for this first one we had to colour correct an underexposed image using the basics panel i used the exposure and contrast bars to brighten this picture slightly

with this photo we had to convert a portrait using the basics panel to do this i pulled the vibrance and saturation bars right to the left nearly as far as they would go 

 

for this last one we had to convert a landscape to black and white using the hsl/grayscale panel and use the targeted adjustment brush . i used the targeted adjustment brush to highlight the path but i did this to Strong i then used the sliders on the hsl/greyscale pannel to bring some more detail in to the trees

final hand in posables

these are just a few of the pictures i was considering for my final hand in i love them all but some where better than other would love comments on witch you think is the best 

i tried to make the feathers on this swan all 1 colour but couldn't do it 

i love classic cars so do to justice to this beauty i made the back ground black and white but when i went to make the red really stand out i had trouble getting it all one colour

i dont know why but this picture makes me feel small i had to use the target adjustment brush on this to bring some detail back in to the light

i had to bring up the exposer on this photo it was to dark to really see even thoe my camera said it was good when i took it lol 

 

and of course this is my final picture 

I had a couple resonens why I chose this picture the first was that this was actually my second choice but I couldn't find the file I need for my first choice  SO  i went with this one the second  reason was the colours from the first time I viewed this picture the colours just pulled me in to the picture

week 3 framing and composition

framing and composition 

this photo was taken for the bernd and hilla becher inspired picture this was meant to be straight on but is at a bit of an angel 

this photo was for the exercise where we had to find pattern the lines seem to be at different lengths  this photo where in real life they are straight  

theses two were also for pattern

 

                                                                                                                                                                                  

i wanted to add some edited pic to this post theses are from week 4 dt1 

original  

                                    

 first try  at week 4 digital tec 

 second  try for week 4 deigital  tec 

i had real trouble with this exercise at first but have gone back and done more practise and feel that i got it down pat now .in the frist image i tried to add some more colour but messed it up i dont know how i got all those strange colour blots on the second one i got the black and white done easy but had trouble keeping just tatiana in cloure and keeped going over the lines i know now i needed to zoom in and use a smaller brush 

for this photo i thought it would look better in black and white but i feel that iv lost a lot of detail in the black and white  




these are some of the self directed photos i took for this exercise i like the ones of my sister but I'm not happy with the rest they to blurry and out of fouces that's what i get for not taking my ti pod having a sour wrist and running around in the rain lol

black and white colors play

with this picture i wanted to do the opposite of the exercise from week 4 exercise 8 i think it turned out OK maybe a bit dark be a good picture for a umbrella add i forgot to save before i started so iv got to get the file of my home computer when i do ill add it to this post   







i cant find the original picture but this 1 from the same exercise that looks very close to it  

PLAYING WITH CAMERA RAW

playing around with camera raw 

i decided to have a play with camera raw in between my other posts i used lens correction first but that didn't seem to do much so i next went down to the lens vignetting bars then the transform bars then went over to split toning bar played with highlights and shadows then over to the hsl/grayscale panel then finally over to the basics panel and in the end this is what i got i think it looks very cool
