Switch Up The Mood

The prompt Here we have the unedited and then edited photos of my bed, which change the mood. The unedited one is normal looking, somewhat inviting on a cold, rainy day like this but nothing special. The edited one I wanted to make more magical. I used the editing tools on my phone to up the exposure, brilliance, highlights, shadows, brightness, saturation, vibrance, noise reduction, and warmth while decreasing the black point and contrast. I also added a strong white vignette to the edge. The result was more magical, but it also gives me a World War II era old-timey ...

Forests can sometimes have a dreamlike quality to them, but what if you could make one more dreamlike? Sometimes walking in a forest can feel like this- Dreamscape Even if in reality the forest looks like this- Feeling as if you have stumbled into a fantastical world is part of the joy of walking through the woods. They have a habit of shifting and never looking the same twice. The edits I made to the original photo show how magical and mysterious the woods can seem and may help people recall how wondrous it can be to trek through the ...
Picture Glow Up

For this assignment, I found it relatively easy as on this day it was a quite typical gloomy Winter day. I also happened to snap a photo of the day outside due to a photoblitz assignment. With adobe lightroom, I transformed my gloomy day into a brighter fall day by using the saturation, temperature and exposure functions. The mood went from a winter day, to fall. (I once again had technical difficulties with uploading these photos, so I decided to post these photos on twitter so my followers can also view this assignment) One of my assignments for my visual ...

For my last assignment of the week, I’m choosing the two star assignment, “Switch Up the Mood” It will finish the week off for me with 12.5 stars! Here’s the photo I started with. It’s a picture of my dad and I playing a paddle game on the beach a few years ago. I wanted to see if it was possible for me to change up the image so it looked like a different time of day. Here’s what I came up with. I shifted to make the blacks and the shadows of the photo while also adjusting the contrast. ...
Saturated Sunset

For my last assignment, I chose a two star photo editing assignment that said we needed to switch up the mood of a picture. For this assignment I used a free photo editing software to adjust certain aspect of the first image to change the mood. I played with contrast, saturation, warmth, shadows, and more. I really struggled with the editing software as I have never really used one before this week. All of the editing I have done prior could be done with an app on my phone so it was never necessary. This was definitely the hardest assignment ...
Uncanny

Challenge: Change the mood or tone of a photograph by altering the contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, exposure, etc. When I found this challenge, I immediately thought of a photo I have of Notre Dame in Paris. I had created art in the style of Andy Warhol with this image before and love the way it turned out. I couldn’t find those images, but decided to use the same picture. I like altering this photo because it’s easy to make it look incredibly unnatural and unsettling. There are colors the sky just should not be, and when you play with that ...
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shake it Up

For my final visual assignment I chose Switch Up The Mood, worth 2 stars. Change the mood or tone of a photograph by altering the contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, exposure, etc. You do not have to change all of those things about the photo, but you can if you would like to. Experiment. Don’t be afraid to take it to the extremes, and don’t be afraid to be subtle. This assignment jumped out to me again because of the featured picture. I also want to work more in GIMP to try to familiarize myself with the software. I expect to be ...
Switch it up

For this visual assignment you had to use Photoshop to change the hue, saturation, lighting, and contrast to edit/change a photo’s feel. I used a photo I had taken over the summer of a dock in Rocky Mountain National Park. Before: After: I played around with the photo in Photoshop trying to make the overall photo darker. I used the burn tool for the water and in between the trees to keep the rest of the photo from dimming and also to keep the green more vibrant.

This post is a visual assignment for the week of 1-26 to 2-1 and is worth 2 points. I chose to complete this assignment because it will give me a chance to flex my editing skills. The photo I am working with comes from the sample photos that came with my Nokia Lumia 928 (RIP). It is bright, summery, and nostalgic. Here is my edit-dark, high contrast, and gritty. It looks to me like a photo someone accidentally took at a crime scene. Pretty noir-esque, if I do say so.
