Final Pieces - Shoot 2

These are my final pieces from the second shoot I did on the 19th of April. I absolutely love the photographs that I took in this shoot because they all have really nice lighting which wasn't the case for all of the previous shoot.

This is connected to the exam question because it again shows sustainability, the last set of photographs were taken at a nature reserve and this set were taken at a woodland garden in Islington, the garden is only 0.35 hectares and was abandoned by a previous owner, leaving it to overgrow. This garden is home to species like the long tailed tit, the sixteen spot lady bird and the stag beetle. Although these aren't rare species, they would not be able to thrive in many other places in London, which is why these woodlands and nature reserves are so important.

In addition, places like this lower London's or any other cities carbon emissions, which are incredibly high.

Computer Experiments - Shoot 2

I created this photograph by using the filter 'Liquify', I think that this photograph is very eye-catching because of this. The bright purple against the green is beautiful, but also when it is is sort of mixed together like that it looks even better. Originally the photograph had a very shallow depth of field, which is why I felt comfortable enough to blur the bluebells in the background as well.

To create this effect I made a background copy, so that I didn't have to re-upload the photograph if anything went wrong or I didn't like how it turned out. Then I clicked on filter at the top and then 'Liquify', once clicked it brings you too another screen to do the work and I chose a small brush size of about 90, then I liquified it, I think that this photograph turned out really well and I would definitely use this filter again.

I used the filter 'Twirl…' to create this effect, I think it looks quite good like this although it's not as practical as liquify is, I don't think it works quite as well. I thought that this photo looked absolutely beautiful and I really wanted to do something to the photograph to improve it and I think that this edit has definitely given it more life, it looks like it is curving itself round to meet someone.

I created this effect by adding a second layer and then clicking filter at the top, I then chose Twirl and decided how far I wanted it to twirl round, this is how it has turned out.

This is my blossom photograph, however I have increased the saturation for this photo. I think that it looks very good, except for the sky, in my opinion, the sky in this photograph doesn't look very good, it is too bright and blocky because there aren't any clouds. The flowers in this photograph are beautiful when they are saturated. I think that they may have looked quite boring before because the colours were so dull.

To create this effect I clicked the hue/saturation button on the adjustments page, I then chose how saturated I wanted it to be, because it was already quite bright I didn't saturate it too much. I dragged the slider up to 50.
