The editing process:

For this particular image I decided to add layers in to change the colours of the image, I wanted to make the sunset colours in the background more noticeable. 

So to do this I started by changing the colours of the image to make the reds more noticeable and vivid. To do this I had to play around will all the colours to see which would make the colours that I wanted to be brighter more vivid.

Following this I managed to use this curves layer to make the trees darker, while also managing to make the grass brighter and the sky vibrant. 

This is the outcome of the editing process:

The Original Image

The editing process:

To create the effect I wanted on this image I decided to add different layers that change the images colours or brightness.

I started by editing the brightness and contrast of the image, I decided that to create a dark eerie outcome that I would have to make it a bit darker and make the contrast stronger and therefore more noticeable. 

Following this I then changed the hue and saturation of the image on another layer, I did this so that the image would loose the bright colours and become more eerie looking.

After changing the hue and saturation I again changed the brightness/contrast a little bit more to create the effect I wanted, and also because I found the pathway and trees to be a little too bright.

I selected to changed the specific colours as I didn't want the pathway so bright or the greens to be so vibrant, so to do this I added the layer onto the image and choose the green colour and then manipulated this magenta/cyan/yellow/black until the image finally looked and had the atmospheric outcome I intended.

Dark Version

For this bright version I again started with the brightness/contrast and made the image a lot brighter and the contrast stronger. 

Following this I then changed the hue and saturation until the colours were brighter, more vivid and there were more colours noticeable in the image.

I also decided to change the vibrancy and I wanted to create an image that was noticeably bright and made nature look almost unreal. So I changed the vibrancy setting to make the colours more vivid.

I selected to changed the specific colours as I didn't want the pathway so light or the greens to be so dull, so to do this I added the layer onto the image and choose the green colour and then manipulated this magenta/cyan/yellow/black until the image finally looked and had the bright vivid atmospheric outcome I intended.

This is how my finished two edited images came out:

AO3- Task 2- Trial Shots

Trial Shots

Here are some photos from my test shoot. Most of these photos I like the idea of however they could have been photographed better. Some had lighting issues while some weren't properly in focus. However this test shoot allowed me to have places and locations where I could go back and re shoot the photos. Especially because it helped me find some places that had leading lines or parts of the woods that I could use to frame an image. This test shoot also helped as it allowed me to try and experiment with taking the photos and trying new angles to see what they would look like. 

AO3- Task 2- Mood-board

This is the mood-board I created, it includes all my ideas and thoughts about this photography task. I had chosen Landscape photography, so I looked at the types of photos that was within this application. After looking through I decided to photos that had a focus, for example the leading lines. I also liked the different colours and natural time of day atmospheres that were within all the images I was looking at.
