6 weather photo task

We had to take 6 photos to do with weather.

I took a picture of my umbrella because it's been really rainy recently. I liked the light and darkness in the photo:

 I took a picture of a broken plant pot that was broken in the strong winds recently. I liked the shadows in the picture:

I took a picture of overturned cones from the wind in a puddle of water. I liked the contrast between the orange and the ground:

 I took a picture of the dark sky and street light because due to the Winter weather it gets dark very quickly now. I like the red tinge to the photo:

I took a picture of the empty bike stands at the primary school because normally they are full but because of the wind they are empty. I liked the colours of them and the shadows they produced:

I took a picture of my little sister Miriam bundled up in her Winter clothes because of the cold. I liked the way that she was a different colour to the background:

Photo experiment

 

 

 

This is the original photo that I used:

 

This is the photo that I turned it into. I changed the hue and saturation of the photo so that the colours were different. I also used the curves tool to get the right balance of colours. I then used the quick selection tool to select the lampshade. I pressed ctrl+J to create a new copy of the lampshade. I did this twice and created the three lampshades in a line. I then used the colour picker to select the right shade of black. I then went around the top of the lampshade so that the three were just on a plain black background.

 

Celebration of the everyday photo task

Our task was that we had to take photos of things we see everyday but make them look exciting. 

I chose to take this photo because I liked the way the monkey looked and I liked the angle I was at to take it:

 

I took a picture of my kitchen cupboard. I thought it would be a good image that I could Photoshop and I liked that you could see the shelf through the door:



 

I took a picture of my oven hob because I liked the way it looked when I was close up to it, I also liked it better when it was at a slight angle:

 

I took a picture of my kettle because I wanted to try and get the Russell Hobbs logo in focus, I wanted to get the bottom of the kettle to get it at a more interesting angle so that it was a better photo:

 

I took the picture of my floor and table because I wanted to get the floor in focus rather than the background, I had to lie down on the floor to get this angle. I liked that I managed to get the dog hair on the floor in focus:

 

I took a picture of my door stop because I thought that the dog would make an interesting photo, I tried to make the dog look bigger than it was by taking a picture of it from a lower angle:

 

I took a picture of my lamp because I like how sparkly it is, I liked the way that the light was hitting off of it:
