Old Train Carts

I choose this picture because it has solid lines and was a good use of thirds. The picture on the top was cropped down to remove the emphasis on the background. I also adjusted the highlights and shadows to bring out more of the yellow in the wheels and frame. This also goes with my theme of the "grey side of life".

I chose this picture to upload because I like the curves in the slide and how it looks like its going down into nothing because of the angle I took the picture from. I like the colored version better because of how the yellow pops out with the dark grass around it.

Hockey

I chose this picture because I really like how it turned out. Because of the lighting I used its hard to see the difference between the color and black and white one, but i do like the colored one a little better because it adds a little more detail to the hockey sticks.

Train

I cropped the photo, and converted it to black and white. I changed the levels because the train was too light, and the sky was washed out.

Eiffel Tower

Edited Photo:

This is the edited black and white photo of the original one in color. I really thought that the lines were a great thing. Also I like the angle that I took it from and how it talks about lines and structure. One thing I did to the photo was crop part of the right side of the frame. The reason for this was that I didn't need some of that information. The black and white was boosted a little. Because I didn't really like the tone that it was before I changed it.

Color variations

Original Photo

On this photo I worked with the color variaions by bring out more of the reds. Then I changed the levels to lighten the red. I also used two different lignting effects; light flares and a spot light effect.

Phone Booth Time

These are some extra photos that I took, I just loved this phone booth. The most that I did with these photos was just convert them to black and white. Since I had to use a low shutter speed two of these photos came out blurred. None the less, they might not be perfect, but had to share them.

This is also a photo that was supposed to be with the shadow assignment. Only things I changed was converting it to black and white, and changed the shadows to bring them out more. Even though its hard to see the all the shadows I would have liked, I really like the shot itself.

This is from our shadow assignment. I crop the original photo, then converted it to black and white. I also change the levels on the photo.
