Photoshopped Photos


http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/photoshopped-olympic-divers-on-toilet-thumb.jpg

In this picture they took an olympic diver and put him on a different background so it looks like he is on a toilet.

In this photo the photographer used a teal tint and put more contrast throughout this picture. They also made the shadow of the top of the dock really dark.

 In this photograph the contrast was increased a lot to make the lightning and fire to stand out more and the shadows to look a lot blacker. Also i think that a purply tint was added.

This photo has a blue tint all over the background and even on the river itself. It looks like this picture was taken with a slow shutter speed because of the light bubbles on the top of the water. The photo is very relaxing because it's just peaceful with the water flowing down the stream.

This picture was changed by the tree being swirled together like it was going down a funnel and again there is a slight blueish tint.

Microsoft Image Composer

In this photo I toned down the light.

In this photo i enhanced the colour of the grass and the background.

In this picture i made the trees colour really stand out and darkened the background.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed can change photos by freezing an image in time or making it look like it's still moving. Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open or closed to capture the light. A fast shutter speed is great for taking sport or action pictures because it takes a moving object and makes it look like it's staying still but if you use a slower shutter speed you need to have a tri-pod and it can make the picture look like its still moving.

Colour

Colour can really make a picture look very modern and abstract. Some photographs you don't need colour because you may want to look something look older and ancient so you don't use colour in it. Bright colours on top of dull colours will make something look very bright and vibrant and even make the picture look clearer. I learned that there is both warm and cold colours and your eye usually goes to the warm colours when you see them.

Leading lines

I think that photographers can use leading lines to make a strong photograph by drawing the viewers eye towards a certain object. You want the viewer to not see the object at first but follow the line into the direction of the main point. Some natural structuresf leading lines are rivers, fields, trees, snakes, pathways, rocks, the ocean, glaciers, leaves, and the horizon. Some man made structures that show leading lines are bridges, fences, buildings, lines, poles, highways, and wires.

Even though this picture has a lot of white snow the histogram showed that this picture was well exposed and the detail was kept in the picture.

This picture has almost a pefect balance between light and dark even though the top left corner is a little bit to light
