Lightroom Edits

My first photoshoot provided me with 12 final images to edit and use within my final pieces. Below is a before and after of the editing made to these images to improve on them and make them stand out, the before picture is on the left, while the after picture is on the right. I experimented with both coloured and black and white images, as some of these final images looked much more effective as black and white.

This image looked much more effective in black and white, and the editing really brought out the shadows within the image to create a cool effect.

This image too looked better in black and white, and once again the editing really brought out the shadows making it look much more effective.

Using editing brought out the colours in the sky and made it look much more unique and really added to the image, as well as this the sky now contrasts much better with the building.

Once again the colours of the sky have been brought out much more, making the image stand out a lot better than it did before.

The sky has been brought out a lot more after editing making the image look much grander, as well as this the editing has brought out much more detail in the image making it look more effective.

Further/Advanced Edits

For further editing, I wanted to create a photomontage of my various images all in one to create a unique looking final piece, I created this using Adobe Photoshop.

Images used:

To start off I used an A3 landscape print within photoshop and started by removing the sky from each of the images:

I then arranged the buildings in the A3 document in a position which I liked.

After much experimentation I decided to go with this layout of the buildings in the document.

I then decided to add a stroke to each of the layers within the image, I think this really adds to the image and makes it look much more like a photomontage.

Evaluation:

Overall, the editing of shoot 1 really brought out the effectiveness of the photographs taken, and I believe that some of these photographs have come out really well. To improve I would have experimented with more ideas other than just photo montaging to create different and unique results.
