3rd Assignment- Circles


For my third photography assignment i chose circles. I had issues with this subject and i wasn't too crazy about any of my shots but these are the three i chose to edit. i did pretty simple maneuvers..most likely some combination of cropping, shadow/highlight adjustments, curve/levels adjustments, hue/saturation adjustments, and sharpening.

2nd Assignment- Architecture


I took this picture in Chicago the other weekend, for our architecture assignment. I cropped slightly and rotated it a bit to make the shot straight (although it's still not perfect, it's the best i could do), put it in black and white and then ran a curves adjustment, which i set on cross process. i did a slight hues adjustment to tone the green down a bit, and then just a little adjusting to shadows/highlights, and a little bit of sharpening.

This is a shot I took in an alley, also in Chicago. I cropped the image, ran a curves adjustment on cross process, ran a slight gamma correction, and sharpened the image.

This is a picture of a building in Chicago. I cropped and converted the image to black and white, did a curves and levels adjustment to boost the contrast, sharpened the image and added noise.

1st Assignment- Empty Chairs


This photograph, as well as the previous two posts, were taken for my first outside-of-class assignment. it's been a long couple of weeks since i edited these so i can't remember what i did specifically to each. probably some combination of a curves adjustment, shadow/highlight adjustment, hue/saturation adjustment, cropping and sharpening filter. or something like that.
