My Attempt

For the Black Light I chose my favourite images that I could find, here I tried to find some that have already got contrasting colours as I knew that this would look well.

Here using Adobe Photoshop, I started by finding my my chosen images then following the steps below it created the following effect.

I then chose the Threshold that I worked best with my image.

I then rotated the image until I was happy with my result:

Here is the finished edit of my first image.

Here for the next few images I followed the same process to achieve my desired effect.

I quite like this image due to the silhouette and the contrast between the light shining on the wall and our shadows.

I again like this image due to the harsh contrast between the colours as this reminds me of the artists work.

In this image I cropped out the car as I wanted to focus on the Road marks against the colours of the tarmac.

I chose this image as It was already taken at an angle and I liked the detailing that is shown through the branches and the leaves.

This picture was taken through a Light Microscope, I like the scale bar shown as it almost resembles a mouth.

My Favouite Image

Out of all of my image i had to come back to my first image, due to the image rotation, I think it makes the image resemble an optical illusion.
