Shooting Assignment: Autumn
I took this photo of my friend Aron on the Ganachio trail right by suicide hill. I started by cropping the photo, then enabled lens correction and then white balanced it. I added slight noise to this photo, raised the contrast, lowered the blacks, raised the whites and slightly turned up the vibrancy. I feel this photograph captures fall/autumn attributes and themes because of the colour of the leaves and seeing that they are intact changing, green to yellow. Also the grain/noise I added to this photo compliments the theme of fall, because fall is not the beautiful clear season as its predecessor Summer.
For this photo I started with a crop, then while balancing, and lens correction. I then changed the hue of the oranges to be more red in colour, I also added a blue highlight split tone, and raised the vibrance. I raised contrast, lowered blacks, raised whites, and slightly raised the clarity. I also changed the hue of the green values in this photo to look more yellow, I also defocused some select areas to highlight other regions that I liked.
In this photo I pretty much used the exact same settings and options as I did in the photo prior. For the areas overexposed in this photo I selected them, lowered the exposure, and highlights, then saturated the areas. I used this to turn the sky from white to blue.
