Trying new styles on photoshop.

Photoshop Experiments!

Black and white background with colored outline.
Blackandcolour
I opened up my photograph and clicked on the 'Lasso tool' and outlined the piece that I wanted to be colored and copied that, then I closed the photograph and opened it and changed it to black and white and then I pasted the colored layered on and put it in place.

Using photo filter
For this I used photo filter to change the color of the photography, it shows that changing the filter can have a impact on the tones of the photography, the first photography I used yellow filter and it makes the photograph look warm and sunny comparison to the second photography where i used a blue filter it looks gloomy and dull.

Then I added textures to make it more bold.

Then i tried to save it however i didn't realize that the photo is too big to save so photoshop crashed but i have noted this problem and next time I will make sure that the photo can be saved and that it is not to big.

Experiments of my chosen photographer!

Theres are the photographs that I have taken with the concept of Will Self, I was not able to find the little statue of men so I decided to use Jelly Babies as a alternative.
Here are my photos.

DSC00165
I like this photograph because of the color, and how the jelly baby is really bright and the background is blurry so the photograph is focused on the Jelly babies.

DSC00168
This photo is not really clear and not a great picture, however I like this photograph because I tried to re-create the seaside without actually going there however it didn't really work but I still like this photograph.

DSC00175
I like this photograph because it looks like the jelly baby is actually reading something and it re-creates real life situations.

DSC00180
I like this photograph because I tried to re-create the scene of real life because there are some people who are not that confident and don't really socialize.

Photographer I have chosen ! :)

The photographer I have chosen is Will Self!

William Woodard "Will" Self was born 26th September 1961 is a English Novelist reviewer and columnist. He is known for his satirical, grotesque and fantastical novels and short stories.

The photograph he takes shows us everyday life by take little small figures and creating a recreation scene of what happens around us everyday.

Here are some of the photos that he has taken.

I have chosen this photographer because I like the way he re-creates everyday life situations and makes it into a miniture version using little figure, and it shows that people do different things in everyday life and some people will see different things everyday.

My Journey Home :)

This is the photo of the schools sign which i pass everyday, I have chosen this photo because I like the way the text shows where people are suppose to go if they arrive at the school.

This photo is a photo of me walking down, I have chosen to use this photo because there is someone walking their dog and there is a lot of red color in the photograph.

I have chosen this photograph because I pass the church when I walk up to school and instead of taking a picture of the whole church I have decided to take a photo of their board.
