DEPTH OF FIELDThis photograph shows how depth of field is used very well. I took this photo at the CamdenLock on the bridge. The photo is focused on the side of the bridge in the foreground instead of Camden Market in the background. To make the photo look a little better, I used the contrast sliders to make the greens on the trees look bolder.

DEPTH OF FIELD

With this depth of field I enhanced it by using the blur tool on Adobe Photoshop. I copied the photo to make a new layer then blurred the layer on top. I then used the eraser tool to rub out the blur to reveal the sharper version underneath.

LIGHTING

This photograph shows lighting well using reflections. I took this photo at the Camden Market looking out onto the lock. The photo is focused on the boat and I really love the bright blues and reds. Although on the day the weather was overcast, I still think this photo is effective and reflects the boat really well in the water.

SATURATION AND COLOUR ENHANCING

I tried out different saturation levels on the photo of the boat and I decided I liked both. By taking the saturation out of the photo, it made the river look duller but kept some of the colour on the boat which makes it more eye catching. With the saturated photo, it makes the river look a lot more green and colourful. The weather also looks better in the reflection.

ENHANCING WARMTHI decided to make this image a lot warmer because I wanted to make it feel like a vintage style photo and enhance the colours of the motorbike seats in the foreground. The photo overall felt very cold because of the grey wall in the background. I used Photoshop’s tool called Color Balance and used the sliders to make it warmer.

COMPOSITION

This image shows how the rule of thirds is used very well because the buildings are divided by colours and designs. I used the crop tool on Photoshop to crop out the extra pieces around the side. I also used the brush tool on Photoshop to draw yellow lines to mark out the thirds more clearly.

COMPOSITIONThis photograph is of The Shard, the tallest building in European Union. I like the composition of the building in this photo as it is directly in the middle of the frame. I used Photoshop again to draw on the lines to show the composition more clearly. I like the dark cloudy background and the red roof in front of the building as it gives the photo a better feel. The sky makes it feel more gloomy and the red roof stands out. In the other image I changed the saturation so the red roof doesn’t stand out as much as The Shard is the main focus of the image. On the third image I also tried enhancing the colour of everything else but the red roof to make it stand out less.
