This is another photo i edited of abbi, to look like a zombie portrait Before i added the zombie effects, i changed the brightness and contrast to make the face look paler. i then also changed the saturation again. Here i added another layer on top of the image, where i copied a picture of tree bark to. from this, i then changed the opacity of the layer. so it was just visible, and then i anchored the layers together. i then used the burn tool to darken the face with a red/black tone. i then also used lighten on the eyes to give it the glazed patchy cateract vision. i darkened areas of the face to make it look like the skin is overly damaged. i then used the burn tool with green and grey shades on the backgorund to darken it, whilst also maintaining the light areas
Here we used colour infrared to edit an original photo of a pink flower close up. the original image was taken using a fast shutter speed, no flash, natural lighting from behind the camera, and a high exposure.
In photoshop, we then edited the image, into infra red, whilst i also altered the brightness, contrast, and saturation of colour in the image

So here i did my zombie photo, using an old photo of myself. I used GIMP. for this edit though. The original photo was taken with high saturation, and adjusable focus, backlit with a spotlight. The Edit however i overlayed an image of tree bark, used the burn tool to darken the skin in areas, and then i used the airbrush tool set to white to gently mist over the eyes
here is the edited version of the previous picture, here i altered the saturation, the hue, brightness and contrast, and i also sharpened the image. The image before was taken with no flash, manual focus, and normal saturation
this is the unedited image, as the image that is edited is refusing to be uploaded.

This is the original image taken with natural lighting and normal exposure. I then went on to edit the photograph into a black and white infra-red photograph. I feel this made the image look less real, almost as is sophie had been collaged onto the background
The original photograph is similar to the one seen here in colour, taken with normal exposure, increased shutter speed and natural lighting. 

I then went on to edit this one with black and white infra-red on photoshop. Whilst doing this, i also altered the colours and changed the saturation, and the brightness to make the seperate parts stand out.
This photo i feel worked well, It was taken with my lying on the ground and Connor jumping above me. it was also taken without flash and increased shutter speed with manual focus.
This photo i feel worked out beteer than expected, yet the composition i feel wasnt quite right. this is a bunch of flowers taken from below on harsh background light with high exposure

These were taken from my washing tray at work, i liked the way the dark ink swirled around against the blue background. Neither of these are edited, but they are taken with higher exposure than usual
Here i used high exposure, and flash. I like the way this image came out, as it was very clear, to say i was that close up without a macro lense. I like how the whole image follows one colour scheme, and the reflection on the gloss of the black surface.
 The above photo in white with outlines is an edited version of the coloured original. i like the edited image as it makes me think of comic books, and also looks like it has been hand drawn. The original image i feel was also a successful photo, as i liked the way the colours of the ink bottles reflected on the glossy black surface. I used high exposure, flash, and increased shutter speed.

i like this photo as i atempted to use a form of macro photogrphy, despite me not having a macro lense for my camera. I feel it worked well. I used natural light, with a fast shutter speed and hightened exposure. I only edited it by turning it black and white afterwards.
On this photo, it was taken outside, through trees in the sun, so i like the mottled way the light looks. I also like the disgruntled look on his face, of confusion perhaps. I only changed this to black and white, and i also had the exposure turned up on my camera. i feel this is quite effective
