Photos not chosen

For my final piece these are the photos that I did not choose to display on my final piece.

I did not choose this photo because i thought that the objects was not next to each other and the photograph shows more of the red object than the yellow object.

Final Piece

For my final piece I have decided to concentrate on color, my concept is color and objects. I have been looking at the photographer Martin Parr who takes pictures with a lot of bright colors in his photographs.

For my final photograph I have decided to take several photographs about color, with objects that has a lot of different bright colors on them and then I want to brighten the colors on photoshop to enhance the photograph. I want the photographs to be printed out small because I want people to look close at the photograph and concentrate at all the colors in the photograph.

Cropping

I decided to experiment on cropping and to see how it will enhance how my photograph looks.

Screen shot 2011-02-08 at 11.33.32 AM
I first went on photoshop and clicked on the crop tool on the left hand side where all the icons are.

Then I highlighted the whole of the picture and then moved the box to see how much of the photograph I wanted to crop out.
Screen shot 2011-02-08 at 11.36.27 AM
Then I clicked enter and the background I did not want was cropped of it makes the object look much bigger than normal.

However I have decided that I like the photograph with the background because the background makes it look like a mystery because you don't know where the object is.

IMG_0117
This is the photograph before I edited it, in this photograph I used flash because the room was orange and if I wasn't to use flash the whole picture would look orange. I decided to take this photo because there is a lot different colors in the photograph.
Contrast and brighness
Firstly I was looking around at all the options of what I can do with the photo and I changed the Brightness and Contrast of the photo to make the photograph lighter and more bold.

Curves
Then i changed the curves to enhance the colors in the photograph.

Exposure
Then I changed the exposure of the photograph to sharpen the colors.

Vibrance
To finished the photograph I changed the vibrance of the photograph to make it bold.

This is the end piece o the photograph that I did.
