Photograph Editing Practice


Photograph Editing Practical

1.




  • The photo was taken on my iPhone
  • I edited the original (on the left) on Aviary Photo Editor to create the photo on the right
  • I did this by using the filter 'boardwalk', decreasing the contrast and saturation
  • I also used the blemish remover around the outside of the distant pieces of plant/tree to create an eerie effect typical of possession horror
What Went Well

  • The lighting on the original photograph was effective and aided the editing process
  • The blemish remover effect looks very effective
  • The filter makes the picture look old
Improvements
  • The bottom section is not very visible of the different shapes

  • Again the photo was taken on my iPhone and I used Aviary to edit
  • I also used Windows Photo Gallery for final editing techniques
  • I used metropolis filter, increased the contrast and decreased the sharpness using Aviary
  • I then saved this and used the retouch on different small sections around the edge to give a slightly distorted look which is commonly seen in possession horror photographs
What Went Well
  • The black and white is conventional of horror
  • Slight distortions add subtle disequilibrium to it
  • Lighting is effective
Improvements
  • There could be more contrast in the foreground
  • Rule of thirds could be applied better

  •  As with the previous two I took the photo using my iPhone and edited using Aviary
  • I used the clyde filter, decreased lighting and sharpness and  increased contrast and saturation
What Went Well
  • The buildings being very out of focus works well in creating an eerie effect
  • The focus on the street lights on the top left corner attracts attention to that section of the picture
  • The general darkness provides an idea of danger and not knowing what's in the shadows
Improvements
  • The light and dark could contrast more and could be less pixelated
