Selective colour fill:
Here I used Lightroom to only saturate parts of the image with the specific colour I want. Then using the brush tool (with settings that make the selected parts of the image unsaturated/black and white) I went over parts of the image which also had that colour in and turned made those parts black and white. This is a effective method as it forces the eyes to the main subject.
Motion Blur:
For the 2 top images I added motion blur after on photoshop by selecting the subjects, Inverting the selection and duplicated it. Then on the duplicated layer I added Motion blur, adjusting its angle to make it look more realistic, as if my camera was locked onto the subjects while I was moving. Since it was busy when we went, there where many other people in the background where they viewers eyes could drift off to which isn’t ideal, so by blurring the background it makes the subject(s) stand out more. For the bottom Image the person has real motion blur because I increased the shutter opening time. This also makes the image very bright so to combat this I increased the f-stop and decreased the ISO. I think this is a nice effect as it shows movement in the walls of the town, making it feel more alive in my photos.
