urban landscapes shoot 1

after importing my images into light room i selected them using p and x and refined this selection using the staring system
then i began the editing process in develop mode adjusting the WB and contrast and exposure of the top rated images
i also played around with them in black and white and made a decision based on the highlights, lines and shadows
finally cropped them and used the transform tool to fix the angle of the images so my horizon would be straight

These images were taken throughout London which I think is fitting for this project as it is a very man altered urban city filled with different cultures and many interesting buildings such as skyscrapers, museums and many of these have modern architecture infiltrated into them.

final edits in photoshop

I really like how the tones in these two images juxtapose each other as one shows the lighter side to London’s architecture and the one in black and white shows a more refined view of the cities skyline as the more prominent shadows pull more focus to how the cities buildings are laid out.

Then I went into photoshop and made a copy of my background layers for both images and then used the exclusion filter to make the whites in the buildings stand out then I moved around the copy of the layer to add a double exposure effect on the images.
