Today I wanted to start to edit some of my final pictures. I did manage to edit some but not as many as I wanted to, this is because I took longer to edit them because I didn’t know how to do some of the edits I wanted to do so I had to look up how to do that which meant it took longer to edit the pictures. However thats not a big issues because I would rather edit them properly and know how to do it then do it roughly and not be as happy with it.

Next time I am going to carry on editing my pictures to try and get as many done as possible so I can then have more time to print and decide what sizes, and how I want to lay them out in the book.

For some of my photos I wanted to brighten part of a photo without the other part being brighter so I needed to look up how to do that. I used this video to help me:

These are the before and after pictures:

I wanted to do this because I felt like the ride was too dark but the rest of the picture was bright enough so I wanted to change just the ride

I also wanted to know how to make the colours more vibrant on some of the pictures so I used this video to help me:

The before and after pictures:

I wanted to dot this because I felt like the ride wasn’t ‘popping’ out of the photo like I wanted it to so I felt making the colours more vibrant it made that effect possible.

To present my final work I am going to make a portfolio to put all of my chosen pictures in as I feel it is then easier to look at the photos in person.

To do this I have looked online at different scrape book like things I could use to put my pictures in:

I like this one because it is really big so I can put a lot of pictures in it so I can show more of my work of. I could also put 2 pictures on one page or just one on each if I want them to be bigger. I also have a choice of the different sizes if I want to. This also comes with the cover stickers to stick the pictures down with which I think adds a lot more detail and makes them stand out more.

This one is good because it is landscape so that adds a different affect because the pictures will be a different size and shape. It also has enough room for at least 36 photos which is a lot and if I wanted 2 on each page thats even more room to fit more of the photos on.

Today I wanted to decide what photos I wanted to use for the final project and possibly start to edit them. I did manage to decide what photos I wanted to use from all the different locations, however I didn’t manage to start to edit them because it took longer to decide what ones I want to use. I took longer to do this because I wanted to make sure I had the right ones and didn’t want to use the ones i hadn’t chosen.

Next time I am going to do some research about how I could present them and start to edit the final photos I have chosen to use.

These are all the pictures I took in Brighton and all the different angles I tried out.

Pictures I have chosen to use:

I like these ones because I feel like the colours are really effective and best show of the rides that are there.

These are all of the pictures I took at Thorpe Park and I will chose the best ones, the ones that best show adrenaline and the best photos in  my opinion.

These are the photos I have decided to use for my final piece:

I feel like these are the the best photos because I feel they best show the rides at Thorpe Park and best show adrenaline. I also feel like I can do some good edits on them.

When I went here I took a lot of photos, more than I need, so I am going to chose the final ones I want to use and then edit them. These are all of the photos I took whilst there:

These are then the photos I have decided to use for my final piece:

I have chosen to use these ones because I feel like these best show adrenaline and what the rides are like and how they get peoples heartbeat going faster.  I also feel like I can do some good edits on these ones to make them even better and show the adrenaline even better when edited.
