Unfortunately I couldn’t get access to the type of photography I want to take (live sport) so I used a model I have in my house for now to practice. To capture this image, I used the Canon 750D in sport mode, which helps to rapidly capture images and also creates a nice focus on the subject by using a medium to high f-stop. To improve the image, I increased the brightness, contrast, saturation, ambiance, highlights and warmth as they all made the picture more vibrant. I also cropped the image to be 1920 x 1080 pixels to ensure that it was suitable for online publishing.
The software I used to edit this was Snapseed to practice editing on my phone. In future, I need to make sure photoshop works on my laptop so that this isn’t my only option.
There weren’t any inherent problems with the image, it was just a positive that I was able to make it more visually appealing and less bland than the raw photo.
