Hello everyone for these two photos I used a variety of methods using photoshop with no single intent for the outcome of them at all. The methods I used consisted of Cranking the saturation completely up after that I went on to do the same with the fill light, high light and sharpen options I then continued to fully pop the color and eneded with moving the hue up just one notch. I believe by using these methods It gave the ocean a brilliant blueish purpleish tint to it and it also affected the sky brilliantly ultimaetly making the sky mesh with the ocean in a way never seen before.
I actually took on these photos with an intention, that intention being to try and make the letters of my hat the beer bottles and my buddies hoodie really stand out, how I did this was by first using the auto correct feature and moving it forward one notch followed by adjusting the white balance up by two places then moving on to the Highlight, sharpen and soft focus options and moving them all to their Highest value I then continued to do the same with the hue and moved the tint up by four values and for the finishing touch which I think made the most dramatic change to the photo is I turned it into a sketch which really outlined the letters in the photo.
While using photoshop this week it really brought me back to being a kid using the old televisions with the huge dials that went click click click everytime you turnded the know. :)
I really like your first edited picture (the one of you on the rock). I like how you made everything grey except the water and the sky. I actually went back in to see if I could figure out how you did it and failed miserably... How do you have a picture with color and without?
ReplyDeleteNice job John. The second photo almost looks nice in that it is so close to being a black and white photo. It is certainly amazing the changes that we can make. Definitely a lot of fine tuning goes on in the PS program to get your image looking a total differnt way. I found that with my laptop it was easier to use a retractable mouse in lieu of moving the cursor around with my figure on the touch pad. I know it helped me a lot! I like the color of the water in the first image....it really has a sharp vibrant look to it!
