Workshop Task – Week 6

For this week’s workshop task, I focused on edited two different types of photos in post production. Using one of the photos I took at Roundhay Park, I wanted to experiment with adjusting the foreground and background of an image, whilst using one of the shots from the Rhinos Academy training session allowed me to make adjustments with people as the main focus

For this image of Roundhay Park lake, I chose to tighten up the image to show less of the tree to the left and create a rule of thirds look. I thought that the original image looked a little yellow in the background so I changed the toning towards a more blue and red tint in the hue/saturation setting. I also upped the saturation and brought down the brightness to add a more icy tone.

For my image of the rugby players, I followed the advice from the previous week and tightened the image up to just include the two players in the centre of the frame, removing the person to the far right. As this had people included in them, I decided to add a bit of saturation mainly to bring out the colours in their faces as opposed to the pale look from the original. Using the vibrance or exposure adjustment layers I also touched up some of the settings to darken the image slightly to contrast the brightness of the people.
