Week six workshop

This week, we have been looking at post production, specifically cropping and colour correcting images.

I used images I took last week when we looked at ISO and edited them.

Below you can see the before and after.

Before:

After:

Although the images are only slightly different, changes were made. I lowered the brightness, upped the contrast, increased the vibrancy and lowered the saturation.

I did these things because I felt as though the original image was slightly washed by the natural sunlight but I wanted to maintain and enhance the vibrant vibe produced from the image itself.

Image two

The second image I chose was one that I have previously took of people playing goalball. When I took these image I had no knowledge of how to use a camera so was just guessing and therefore, post production editing is vital.

Before:

After:

For this image there is a very clear difference. I drastically increased the brightness, lowered the contrast and increased the vibrance.

The original image was very dark and quite yellow toned so in order to counteract these issues, i made the image brighter and more vibrant. It adds a crispness and freshness to the once dingy looking image and make the quality better.

I also cropped out the two bi-standards as they do not add anything to the image and are therefor, not needed.
