During my last blog post I showed the non-edited and original photos that I took whilst up at Noirmont.
In this blog post I will be showing my edited and manipulated versions of those photos. Whilst editing the photos, I cam up with a theme that would help with the idea of a display with the photos. My theme is old bunkers ans war effected areas of jersey, but the photos are edited with bright colors.
Here are some of my ideas that I came up with.
I came up with this idea to present my photos in this way. because I have been known to edit my photos in a wild and over-exaggerated way. I like this because I can take gloomy and even boring photo, and turn it into a piece of modern art.
Whilst editing in this way, to get that over-exaggerated look, I am in no way trying to belittle or make a mockery of the difficult time Jersey went through in World war II.
I really like the way that these photos have turned out, because it took myself a while to find the right editing tools, and exposure settings to make these photos look good. For this project I think I m going to carry on to use this type of editing for my final project as I like the way they turn out, but also like the way that they contrasts with the doom and gloom with the subject that this is based on.
