favourite photos

These are some of my favourite photos that  i have taken of Cardiff bay. I made sure that they show what Cardiff bay is all about. I made sure that it captures the landscape and that it shows the nature and the surroundings of Cardiff bay. i have used the natural light instead of forced light. i think it really captures the surroundings in a good way.

Bad Photo

i think this is a bad photo because the light for the sun takes over the photo so you cant really see the rocks you can only see an outline where as i wanted to be able for the audience to see the rock.

editing a photo

this is my original photo that i took.

this is the same photo but edited.

i have taken all of the colour out of the background so that it is just black and white and that the only colour left on the photo is the colour of the statue. this makes it stand out as the red is a vibrant colour so it brings the attention to the red wheel instead of the background.

here is another original photo.

and here is the same photo but edited.

 i have cropped the photo so it is only the coast line so it doesnt focus on the sky and sea it focuses on the coast line which shows what there is in Cardiff bay. i have used the poster edges effect which makes it look like it was a drawing used for a comic that was done by a professional artist.

Filter

This is my original photo.

and this is the photo after i added a filter;

I have used is 'Smudge Stick' filter in Photoshop. this makes it look like it is an artists drawing of the church.

Comparing with a Professional photo.

This is the professional photo that I found off a website that is about Cardiff Bay .

 

This is my photo that I took;

 

I tried to take the photo from the same place so it had the same view. In my photo I have more of the rock wall that leads down to the water where as the professional one has less off the wall. The professional photo is has placed the camera so it is slightly looking up on to the scene where as the photo I took is slighting looking down on the scene.
