The document discusses the process of editing 10 images for a final project. It describes taking 76 photos focused on water reflections and colored lights at night. Most edits involved increasing brightness, contrast, and vibrancy to make colors like blue and cyan stand out against a dark background. The evaluations note being happy with the edits but wanting to improve angles, take more variation, and in one case keep the sky darker while lightening other areas. The overall goal was vibrant, nighttime images focused on one dominant color.

2. I needed ten images to edit and then make my final image, so I decided to try and take as
many pictures as I could so that I had a lot of images I could choose from.
Before doing this shoot I planned to take more pictures in e dark as I waned los of coloured
lights in my photographs and reflections in water, so all my images are mainly water based
due to this and I wanted quite colourful images so that they was bright and stood out. The
reason I decided these were the type of images I wanted is because when I was doing my
research and looking at other landscape photographers these kind of images were the ones
that I was attracted to the most.

3. I took 76 Images altogether and I focused my images mainly around water and the reflections
off the lights in them. This is why most of my images are took in the dark or of and around the
water.

5. First of all I changed the
brightness and contrast of my
image, I set them both to the
highest they would go as I
wanted the background to
appear a lot darker and like be
close to black, but I still wanted
the colours of all the lights to
stand out especially the blue
coming off the bridge. After
doing this I then used an effect
to make the image appear more
vibrant, as I wanted dark images
with vibrant colours, to make it
stand out. Then I used the colour
balance effect, where I moved
the Cyan colour and Blue to make
the colour of the bridge stand out
as that is what I wanted to be the
main focus of the picture.

6. Final Image Evaluation:
My plan for this project was to create images that
was took at night as I wanted a dark background with
water reflections and lots of different coloured lights
as I was going for images in the style of Andrew
hackney and this is definitely what I have done with
this image, the original image turned out quite dark
and because of the effects I used it enhanced the
colours that was there and made them appear a lot
more vibrant and bright as in the original image,
nothing really stood out everything was really dark, Original Image
because I decided not to use a flash as it would
change most of the colours.
I am quite happy with my final image however there
are things I would do differently if I was going to do it
again, I would keep the sky very black like how it was
originally and then just change everything else and
maybe try taking it on a different angle more in front
rather than the side, I did try to rotate it during the
editing process but wasn’t happy with the result so
decided to keep it how it already was.

8. Final Image Evaluation:
I was happy with the picture that I took however I
just wanted it to be a lot brighter, mainly the
water as I waned hat to be a deep blue colour, so I
just changed brightness and contrast and then
colour balance and adding a blue effect to the
picture.
With bright lights coming off the sun in the corner
hat gave of a pink, red and yellow glowing
reflection in the water that I think added to the
effect with some of the buildings surrounding it. Original Image
I planned to take more images at night so that I
could et lights of bridges and buildings however I
also liked it in the daylight when the sun was
shining like in this photograph.
I am really happy with my image and there would
be nothing I would change I don’t think.

10. Final Image Evaluation:
I was already happy with my original image which
is why I didn’t really change much when it came to
editing, it was just that there was something in the
right corner that I decided to crop out and then I
just changed the brightness and contrast to make
the purple off the bridge and the lights stand out a
bit more than they had in the original photograph.
I found that there wasn’t much I had to do with
this image and I really like what I have come out
with.
However despite me being very happy with this Original Image
shot it has made me realise that when I go out
again taking photographs I will need to start taking
more than one shot of one thing like I will have to
take a lot of shots of one particular thing to try and
ensure that I will have an image that I cant fault.

12. Final Image Evaluation:
I wasn’t very happy with my image at first
however I wanted one with more of the
buildings and streets in rather then them all
being around just water so I tried editing a
couple of other pictures that I had took and I
found that when I changed the image and put
them in black and white it made the photograph
appear a lot more professional.
So I made the photo black and white and
changed brightness and contrast and the
lightness.
However if I was to do this again I would take Original Image
more time to take more pictures like this based
more on just buildings or streets and things to
give more of a variety with my images.

14. Final Image Evaluation:
I was very happy with this image and the
angle it was on and the objects and
everything that were captured in the
photograph. So I just wanted to edit it a
little, just to enhance the colours of the sky,
street light and water.
In the original image the water looked
quite dark which gave the overall image
quite a dull look , where as now after
editing I think the photograph looks very
bight and inviting. Original Image

16. First of all I changed the
brightness and contrast of my
image making it more brighter but
using the contrast to make certain
areas of the background appear
darker. I then used the Hue
Saturation to lighten my image
and give it a light blue effect. Then
used variations where I decided I
wanted to pick the images that
featured the Cyan colour in it and
ticked highlights as what I wanted
and then all these effects went
towards creating my final image.
After I used that I then decided to
just use the auto tone, contrast
and colour this is because I just
wanted to just change it slightly
then I was happy with what I
created.

17. Final Image Evaluation:
Before I started the project I had decided that I was
going to create images mainly based around water
with quite a lot of light and focusing mainly around
one colour in particular and in nearly all of my images
I had decided that, that particular colour would be
Blue better known on Photoshop as Cyan this is a
very light blue that is quite vibrant anyway but I
enhanced the colour as I wanted very vibrant images.
To get my final image I mainly just focused on
changing the colour of the over all image and I
changed the brightness and the contrast and the Original Image
vibrance controls.
I am quite pleased with my final image, I think it
would be better though if I changed the colour of the
sky on its own so that you could still get the clouds
and things in rather than it just being a blur at the top
of the image as that is how it is now that I have
edited it altogether. So that is the one thing I would
change if I was to do it again.
