For Brooke playing the guitar, I used an adjustment layer, using the overlay application. I changed the levels slightly. I wanted the top of the guitar to be clear, and the rest blurry and that's how it turned out luckily.
For the Rexburg Temple, I also used the overlay application using an adjustment layer. I changed the levels, mainly the gray slider so the temple wouldn't be so dark.
The chandeliers looked pretty good in color, but I wanted them in black and white to have an older look to them. I put a vignette on this photo. To make it black and white, I used an adjustment layer , using the gradient map. I adjusted the levels slightly.
I used an adjustment layer on the dancers, using the soft light. I cropped it to take out the couple dancing...but not in the mirror. It seemed distracting to only have part of the girls body and not the man. I then put a vignette.
For the Temple Lights, I used an adjustment layer, using soft light. I then adjusted the levels so the bottom of the light wasn't so dark.
For the field across the Rexburg Temple, I used an adjustment layer, using the multiply application. I also changed the color balance. I increased the blue and greens. I put a vignette on it , but increased the midpoint.
This last picture was taking during a lightning storm!!! It took a while to actually get the lightning. I clicked half way on the camera and waited and waited for lightning to come and clicked the rest of the way. I focused on the clouds so it would be clear. I put and adjustment layer on and used the overlay application. I increased the blue in the color balance slightly
I love all of your pictures. Usually i have a few that I like a lot more than others, but I can't even say that because I love them ALL. I love the Bokeh on your guitar picture, the Temple looks AMAZING, Chandeliers and dancers might be my least two favorite (which really isn't saying much), I LOVE the colors on the field and the angle of the lightening clouds. Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are way sweet! I really like the angle that you chose to for the guitar. The Temple photo is simply amazing! I love the time of day you shot it at and I love how you got the sunset and it created a silhouette on the temple. I love it! I also really like the next photo of the chandeliers! You took really great photos this week! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour night photography is amazing! It is not blurry at all which is awesome! I also love your guitar shot and I love the temple shot. Everything looks exposed perfectly which is really hard so kudos!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would have to be the field. The angle and lighting just catches my attention so well, even though it's such a simple picture. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat great images. They are all so interesting and have great angles, colors and compositions. My favorite, is the one with the temple lights. I think that has a hint of color and then great light. Nice job.
