Assignment 3

Original:

Black and white:

Here, I tried boosting the shadows and slightly increase the highlights to add to the glossy effect of the painting reflecting with the sun of the top left part of the picture.

















Famous photographer (Ralph Gibson):

I like this picture because of the emphasize put on the sunlight and the high-contrast, minimalist black and white.

Sepia effect: 

I also significantly increased the shadows and put the highlighting slightly higher because I wanted to give a warmer effect to the picture without overdoing it.
























Famous Photographer: (John Crocker)

I like how this picture still kept its modern feeling despite the sepia tone which usually makes pictures look older.

Soft focus:




Similarly to my black and white picture, I wanted make the top left part of the picture where the sun is reflecting more obvious and eye-catching. I also enlarged the soft focus point and increased the amount of focus to really bring out that part of the photo. Still, out of all the effects, I felt like this one did not work quite as well as the others because of the focusing effect itself.















Famous Photographer (David Morel):

Same Colors, different shadow and highlight:

This one has to be my favorite. I think the picture already looks great originally because of the way the colors turned out be.  Adding more shadows makes it look cleaner and the very bright blue produce by more highlighting gives it a happy and colorful feeling.
