Production Reflection

Your Name

Process

• This was shot on an Olympus SLR with expired superia x-tra 400 film, the highlights were then adjusted so that the glare wasn’t too strong on the window. This was achieved using Photoshop's exposure tool. This image was taken also in the golden hours of the morning which gave the image a soft look.

Process

This was shot with the same film and camera as the first shot except this time in order to improve the photograph I used the exposure tool to brighten the shadows in order to make some of the image less dark.

Process

• The same film and camera as the other two shots no editing was done to this photograph except for a slight increase in contrast, this was achieved in the Image>Adjustments>Levels section of Photoshop. This image was taken 2-3 hours before the mid morning, so the sun was slightly harsher and cast a shadow on the objects in the frame.

ProcessI composed this image with the gate in the frame to give the image a more gritty and show the nature of authority, This image was taken almost exactly at mid day so the shadow cast from the vehicle and the building is from a light source straight above the objects.

Process• This image was taken very

early in the morning Just after the sunrise, somewhere in the golden hours, this means that the image gives off a soft glow, when altering the image I used the crop tool in Photoshop to get the most interesting parts of the shot, the pillars also create leading lines to the end of the shot as well as all the signs between them.

ProcessThis image was taken early in the morning so the light is very soft and the colours aren’t very pronounced, so the main focus in Photoshop was to brighten some of the shadows and darken the highlights.

ProcessThis is the entrance to a local park in Selby, the problem with this image was that there is quite a lot of chromatic abrasion in certain parts of the image, giving the edges of branches and leaves a purple tone.

Process

• To fix this I used Adobe Lightroom and used the Chromatic Aberration tool in camera adjustments

Before After

Process• I shot this image was a DSLR under

pretty poor lighting conditions, as the bright sky was behind the beams, and because of the low dynamic range on most digital cameras, it was harder to not silhouette the focus, so in order to take the shot I had to use a fairly high iso, which created a lot of noise and grain on the image, in order to reduce this I added a blur and made the image black and white, so the horrible colour noise was almost completely unnoticeable.

ProcessIn this image, the emotion was fairly gloomy and dark, out of the window was rain and damp and inside was a warm vintage bus, and I wanted to put emphasis on some of these features, by enhancing the contrast and adjusting the colours to make them seem warmer and more appealing, I did this by using the saturation tool and finding a balanced tone, I also used the darken preset in curves when highlighting outside of the window to make the outside seem more gloomy

Process• The problem with this image was too

dark so the main goal was to increase the exposure and add some more contrast, the end result seemed more gritty and had more depth. This would create the idea that the community is in need of attention from the background standing out slightly more, this should appeal more so to my target audience.
