Using a softbox light to the right and a strobe with a colour filter to the left of the shot created a strong divide on Laura’s face. After experimenting with several colours including orange, green and purple, we settled on red as it gave a spooky effect for the photo. I accentuated the red slightly using Photoshop.
This photo is a sequel to Blur, however this time I experimented with the long shutter speed at night. Again, an iconic London bus is featured, but this time it is less recognisable and not immediately obvious. This photo has a 5-second exposure, and a tripod was used to ensure a steady shot.
Experimenting with shutter speed can produce interesting results, such as this 1.6 second photo of a red London bus on a busy road. Using a tripod to keep the camera steady, the blur of the bus is still highly recognisable. I had to use a low ISO and small aperture to compensate for the bright daylight. I finished off some minor editing in Photoshop. Night is a sequel to this photo.
This photo is for the Selected Exposure category. I removed the front and rear lights from my bike, and with a five-second exposure, a friend waved them around in front of the camera. The effect was impressive, and I have edited the white light to appear green in Photoshop. Because of the long exposure, I had to use a tripod.
This photo was taken on the recent photography trip to Portsmouth, UK, however I am using it for the task requiring a photo edited using masks, blends and channel manipulation. Using a background layer, I enhanced the red of the wrappers using the RGB layers tool, before creating a duplicate grayscale layer. Then, using the mask feature, I removed portions of the layer to allow the colours to show through.
