out of 701 images I took on the trip then used the star ratings to find only the good images then I kept refining to find my best images.
these images are my best 19 I selected from that photoshoot.
I increased the contrast and decreased the highlights to give more depth to the image. I did this to give better distinguish between the rock, the moss and the grass. decreasing the highlights bring more contrast into the sky giving it slightly less overcast effect.
i liked the way the light Shon down into the craves so I put it in black and white to give better contrast between the two tones light and dark. I then used the graduated filter tool to make the bottom of the image darkest so that it slowly fades from over exposed white at the top shining down until complete darkness at the bottom.
This photo was taken from above looking down into the crease I increased the vibrance to bring out the bright yellows in the lichen. increased the shadows to create the effect of a deep dark crevasse.
I liked the reflection in the water so I decided to put the image into black and white to create a distinct contrast. this contrast gives a more mysteries effect because the oyster catcher is facing with its back to the lens.
