My edited photos:

For this final image, I edited it using Lightroom and I decreased the saturation for all of the colours except for red. This left the image black and white, apart from the parts which were red. I then used the adjustment brush tool in Lightroom to paint the remaining unwanted coloured areas to make them also black and white. This left the image black and white, with the red backpack still the same colour as I expected.

For this particular image, I experimented using two different editing techniques. Firstly, I chose a photo where the main subjects were focused, and edited the photo using Adobe Photoshop. I selected both of the main subjects and added the filter ‘motion blur’ to make it looks as though they were moving. I then edited the image using Lightroom so that the man’s shorts was the only colour left in the image. To do this, I decreased the saturation for all of the colours apart from yellow and orange, and used the adjustment brush to paint the unwanted coloured areas black and white.

Finally, I cropped the image to make it squared to focus on the main elements of the image.

Evaluation:

In St. Malo, I focused on taking images on either the French aspect of architecture or people living an ordinary life as I think they go really well together because they all hold a certain spontaneity. I found that my photographs linked well to the topic and I think all of my edits were very successful as I experimented with new editing techniques.
