Evaluation, critique and comparing:

I think that overall, my outcomes are quite good. 

In my editing, I’m able to enhance the pictures and give these what were once boring pictures, pictures that now have character and uniqueness. I think that my editing is one of my highest strengths in this topic because I think that I clearly edited the pictures that revealed that inspiration I felt when looking at Robert Adams work. 

My pictures show whitewashed pictures just like how Adams pictures were produced. The certain bland and deserted look that Adams picture had was something that I really liked, and I straight away knew that I wanted to produce picture that showed how heavily influenced I was by Adams work.  

As seen in Adams’ work, Adams did produce some dark pictures that had a dark tone and highlighted the shadows of the obstacle he photographed. I really liked how he was able to bring a certain darkness to industrialization and how he portrayed it as something negative not positive. As seen on presentation 1, I presented a picture that showed a blackened building which, as stated above, was heavily influenced by Adams. I edited this picture so that it would make the building dark and unnatural and made the sky bright and natural environments lighter to communicate that the environment does not need this dark evil which is industrialization.  

I strongly believe that the comparison between my work and Adams work is evident, and it is obvious that my work was influenced by Adams work.  

However, there are some improvements my pictures need, like the fact that some of my pictures did not show the impact on earth. I could have photographed more specific places or buildings that heavily impacted the world. I should have photographed a building doing the destruction like photographing the place where plastic and rubbish are burned. I could have edited it in a dark manner to highlight how negative and impactful such action is to the earth. I should have photographed more serious matters instead of photographing buildings that might not even have much significance.  

Image 1:

Editing process: For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased exposure to +0.35, and vibrancy by +100, and then decreased saturation by –100. I then cropped the picture, using the cropping tool, so that I could remove the moving bus that was captured in the picture. This was all I did for this picture in terms of editing. 

Image 2:

Editing process:

For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased vibrancy by +100 and decreased blacks by –100, saturation by –100 and exposure by –0.09. Then at the top bar I pressed on an icon that looks like a paint brush that looks like this,

In this icon, I decreased the whites by –19 and then brushed these adjustments on the clouds in the picture, making sure not to brush on the darker parts/building in the picture. 

Image 3:

Editing process: For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased vibrancy by +100 and exposure by +1.05 and then decreased saturation by –100. This was all I did in editing to improve this picture.  

Image 4:

Editing process: For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased vibrancy by +100 and exposure by +1.40 and then decreased saturation by –100. Then at the top bar I pressed on an icon that looks like a paint brush. In this icon, I increased dehaze by 68 and then brushed these adjustments all over the picture making sure I don’t miss any spot on the picture. This was all I did to edit the picture.

Editing process: For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased vibrancy by +100 and exposure by +0.61and then decreased saturation by –100. This was all the editing I did to improve this picture. 

Image 6:

Editing process: For this picture, I pressed on the tab called develop and I increased vibrancy by +100 and exposure by +1.63and then decreased saturation by –100. This was all the editing I did to this picture.
