Love; take it if you need it. Venice, Italy. For this image I increased the contrast but lowered the vibrancy a touch. I wanted the bricks to be just as part of the picture as the note, so instead of making it black and white like I had originally planned, I raised the vibrancy and lowered the contrast. This gives the bricks a hint of colour and a soft tone.
Sun set in Venice, photographed from water taxi. This image was very difficult to capture, and I had managed to take it just in time. I think the whole image gives a peaceful atmosphere, which is very deceiving, as when I took the photo I was far from peaceful. The thunder from the water taxi's engine was loud enough to block out thought, and the temperature felt below freezing. A deceitful image that seems serene, that was taken in a form of chaos.
Smarties emptied in to an Italian hot chocolate. I did the same thing with this image I had done in the previous post. I was much happier with this outcome as opposed to the Venetian Mask, in this image, to me it feels as though you can reach in and grab the beverage.
Venetian Mask purchased from Venice, Italy. I wanted focus to be set on my eyes, but instead of enhancing the colour, I copied the image in to a layer on top of the original. I set the new layer to black and white, and then I used the rubber tool to erase around the eyes. This revealed the coloured image underneath, leaving the final outcome above.
