Week 8 Lighting and Color Manipulation

 









For the first photo, I chose to go a little darker rather than lighten the image. After playing with the levels, I tweaked the hue/saturation and exposure. After that I added a color overlay. Once I decided to go darker I wanted to have it so the aerial was more of a silhouetted focal point in the image and at the same time keep the vibrant colors of the flag.

 For this photo my plan was to bring out the vibrant colors of the sky, water and the beach. I wanted to make the colors to be noticed. All I did in this one was a few level changes, a few curve changes, and hue/saturation changes.

For this photo I chose to do a couple different color overlays to create this image. I changed the levels to where I wanted them. Then, I did two gradient fill overlays. Then, played with the curves. And finally, I did a couple of tweaks to the hue/saturation and the color balance. This sort of gives it a sepia tone look but still keep some color to keep the eyes interested.

Week 7 Image Manipulation

In the above image I used the select tool to remove the cloudy sky and replace it with this beautiful sunset.

In this photo I used the select tool to remove the trees and lake from inside the windows. Then, I replaced the window openings with a picture of The Nubble Lighthouse. Also in this image I used quick mask mode to finely remove unwanted pixels.

For this image I used the select tool to change the color of the trees and the river to be in a black and white color scheme. After selecting everything below the sky I used a photo filter to change the color.

Week 6 Landscape Photos

                            

 I took this picture of The Gap or The Notch near Stowe, Vt. My focus was to capture the Gap between the mountains and some of the trees that have changed so far this fall.

 The focus of this photo was to capture the fall leaves that cover the rolling hills in the background of this vibrant green field.

 This photo was fun to take since I had to stand on a rock in the middle of the falls to capture the movement of the water through the rocks.

 For this photo I wanted to do a rule-of-thirds but the angle I had to take this picture just wouldn't work. I think having the small pine tree off-center works fairly well with the ocean in the background and the cliff-side more in the foreground. This was taken this past spring on the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI.

I took this panoramic photo of the valley and the mountains from the summit of Mount Mansfield. My intent was to capture a wide-angle shot from the summit, in hope of getting a majority of the surrounding area.

Week 5 Framing Slideshow

Week 4 Color Schemes

This photo has a monochromatic color scheme to it. Although it may all look simply green, there are different shades and tints of green in the image. 

This photo is an example of analogous. The colors of the sky go from yellow-orange to a pinkish-red to a purple-blue. All of these colors are relatively close to each other on the color wheel.
