Valentine's Day
I like this image, because I love to read. I thought this photo was good for Valentine's Day because the books are part of the series, Twilight. Twilight books are in the romantic genre, which I thought was very suiting for Valentine's Day. I also liked how there was red on the book cover. For editing, I first adjusted the crop and then adjusted the white balance. This made the background very white. Then I increased the highlights, so that the glare on the books was brighter.

For this photo, I added a pink background (which was a notebook I had), then I placed by nail polish from darkest shade to lightest shade of pink. I like how this photo has almost a shallow depth of field affect, and how you can see the shadows because of the lighting. For this photo I first cropped it and then I tinted the photo red. I then increased the highlights,. so that the bottle was more shiny. I also like how the light was placed in the top left corner, so that the wall had a sort of ombre effect. Lastly, I increased the clarity.
Patterns
For this photo, I took it at Home Depot. I wanted to get a cool perspective, so I took the photo on thye side of the wall, so it was sort of like a shallow depth of field photo. I adjusted the white balance, so it was brighter, and then the changed the exposure so the photo was a bit darker. I also increased the clarity and sharpness, so the texture of the bricks was more prominent.
I also took this photo at home depot. I wanted this photo to have a different perspective, so I took the photo by pointing my camera towards the ground, so it was like I was looking down. For editing, I didn't have to crop it. I darkened the shadowns, and increased the highlights. I also made the clairty higher. Lastly, using the feather tool I darkened the outside of the image so it was black.
For this photo, I put my phone inside the light in my room. For editing, I first cropped the photo, and then I changed the white balance, so the light was brighter. Then I increased the exposure, and saturation, so the colour was more intense. I also increased the clarity, so the detail on the crystals, and poles, were better. Lastly, I darkened the shadows, and added a very slight tint of blue. I like this photo because of how sparkly it is.
Winter Wonderland
I took this photo in Jackson Park, when the light show was going on. I like the contrast between the dark ground, and the bright lights. For editing I cropped the photo. Then I found the medium grey, so the white balance was good. Then, I used the shadow and increased it. I also used the feathering tool, and used it on some of the bigger lights, so they become more white, and sparkly. I also changed the tint of the image to be more blue/purple. Looking at this photo, just takes me back to Christmas time!
I took this photo in a forest. I liked how the sun was reflecting off of parts of the snow. To edit it, I cropped the image, and made it longer in length. To edit it, I made sure I found the white balance perfectly, since I wanted the snow to be very white. Then I tinted the photo slightly bluish, just because in my opinion it still looked to yellow. Then I made the clarity higher so that the sticks were more detailed. Overall this picture just screams Winter!
I took this picture at Devonshire Mall, during the Holiday season. I wanted part of the Christmas tree to be in it because of how green it is (it pull out the green from the background). First I cropped the photo so that not too much of the tree was in it. The I found the white balance. Then i turned up the saturation and vibrancy so that the green on the trees was brighter, and more intense. I also turned up the clarity anf sharpness, so taht the white in the background could stand out and be more detailed. I then used the feather tool, and turned the brush green, and painted some of the ornaments so they could stand out more. Lastly, I turned the highlights on higher. Overall, I love the green in this picture. I think it balances well with the white.
Bottles and Glasses
I think this glass is very beautful. The detail is what catches my eye, so of course that is what I wanted the focus to be of the picture. I first cropped the image by zooming in, and then I straightened it out so that the lines in the window appear straight. For editng I added a blue tint after finding the white balance because I liked how that looked best. I then added more highlights to make the glass appear more glossy, and make the background lighter. Then I added sharpness and more detail so that the whole photograph appeared more crisp. I like the contrast f the glass with the dark backrgound. I think it really makes the whites in this photo stand out.

This photo was taken of empty bottles. I decided to take this photo outside because the lighting was much better then inside my house. When editing, I realised that there was not much colour in the photo to start with. I know that I could add more saturation to increase the colour, but I still didn't think that was going to be enough. So i changed the photo to black and white. I thnen cropped the phto to how I liked it. I added more shadows, I took away some highlights. I also darkened the black.

Okay, so I decided to use the same bottles as above, but take a picture from a different angle. This showed a whole different part of my backyard, making the background different from above. I like this photograph much more. I like it better because of the editing I did to it, and the vintage feel I think it gives off. I first used a preset on lightroom called, old age photo, and went on from there. On my iphone, I wanted to crop this image and it automatically made everything straight for me. For editing, I wanted to keep with the vintage feel so I didn't want any saturated, bright colours. I lowered the exposure, and saturation. I also lowered the highlights because I thought the glass on the bottles looked better like that. Then I added clarity so that the details in the picture really popped. Lastly I added a vignette, but made it so that the outside corners were brighter. I used the feathering tool to make sure that there were no harsh lines from the vignette.

Hands
Since hand sanitizer is very popular because of covid-19, I thought that a picture with it would be very appropiate. I took this picture of my hand and my mom's hand putting hand sanitizer on. While editing, First, I cropped the image to how I liked it. Then I used the preset on lightroom, black and white. I thought that this added a more dramatic look on the photo. Then I found the medium grey, to make the whites brighter and the blacks darker. Then I added more shadows, highlights, and definiton. I also liked how dark the background was, so I added more of a vignette.

This is a picture of my mom reading. Reading is one of her favourite past times. For editing this photo, I didn't have to crop the image, beacsue I already liked how it looked without it. Then I changed the photo to black and white, but changed some of the intensities of the colours to make the image more sepia. I sharpened the image to make the details on the hands pop. I also added more highlights, to increase the highlights on the hand, and I added more shadows.

This picture of "helping hands" was actually taken because I cut my finger. My mom was putting a bandaid on my finger and I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a photo. I first cropped the image to my liking, and made it so a viewers eyes would be focused more on the center. I also made this picture black and white and added more sharpening to the hands, so you could see the lines and wrinkles. I made the whites brighter, and added more highlights and shadows.
Forced Perspective
For the inspiration for this photo I looked on google images. I saw many photographs that used a teapot and pretended they were pouring out the clouds. I thought that a good idea would be to pretend to spray the clouds out from abottle. Since it was a beautiful, sunny day, suncreen was the perfect option. For editing, I first cropped the image to my liking. I then increased the saturation, and hye of blue to make the sky and sunscreen bottle stand out. Overall I think I did a good job on this photo.
Spring
First looking at this photo, I like how the red from the flowers balances with the canadian sign in the background. I also like the shallow depth of field affect this photo has. I increased the saturation so that the flowere and grass were very vibrant. I added a bit more clarity, and sharpness. Lastly I added a very small amount of vignette around the edges.
My mom had just bought flowers and I thought this shooting assignment was the perfect time to show them. Contiuing with the flower theme for spring, I decided to capture these two flowers using portrait mode on my phone. This way it made the background blurry, providing a shallow depth of field. For editing I first found the white balance, increased the saturation and brightness. This making the photo more colourful and bright. I cropeed the image so that most of the focus was in the middle, because I thought it looked best. I also added more clarity and texture. I love the overall colour of this image, and the contrast between the green and red.
For this photo, I wanted to find a flower that wasn't red like the other ones. I found this pot of flowers and thought it would be cool to really zoom in and see the details up close of the flower. For editing I first cropped the image so that only one photo was mainly the focus. I then increased the whites and the saturation so that the flower was brighter. Then I increased the clarity so that on the stems behind the flower you could see the amazing detail. Out of all the photgraphs I took this day, this one is by far my favourite.

7. An animal
I wanted this picture to be in black and white. So first I cropped the image, and then I made the clarity higher. This way we could see more of the fur on the dogs. I darkened the shadows, and added a slight vignette to add on to the darkish theme. |
9. Nature Selfie
This photo is of me near grandbend. I cropped the image to my liking. I wanted this photograph to have a warm tint, so I made sure I added a small tint of yellow. I increased the saturation just a bit to make the colours stand out more. Overall, I like this photo because it reminds me of a good time. |
9. Something Rough
When I think of something rough, I automatically tink of rocks. This is a photo I took while on vactaion in Cozumel. I love the colour of the water and how the rock looks here. I cropped the photo to make it smaller. I increased the clarity and texture for the detail of the rock. I also added more saturation so that the water was even a prettier shade of turquoise. |
10. Something round
I think that balloons fall under something round. These are from my birthday. I cropped the image so that it appeared the balloons were more zoomed in on. I used a vintage warm preset I found on light room. I added a bit of grain to compliment the vintage filter. Lastly I added saturation and brightened the picture up with more exposure. |
11. Favourite Colour
My favourite colour as you can tell from this picture is blue. I took this photo at a concert I went to. I love the pattern of the ceiling of the outdoor venue. For editing, I cropped the image so that the stage was the main focus. I added more stauration and I darkened the image a bit by lowering the exposure. I did this because I wanted the outsides of the stage to be as dark asa possible, so we could really see the lights in the stage. I also logve how you can see the audience in this photo, I think it looks cool.

14. Water
This is a sunset a picture I took while on a boat. I love this picture because you can see the ripples in the water because of the photo, and of course because of the sunset setting. I added more saturation to this photo, and added more of a yellow and pink tint. I added more calrity to make the ripples in the water appear even more. |
