Saltaire/At Home Evaluation

Saltaire/At Home Evaluation  

I was unable to go on the Saltaire trip so I had to take my photos at home. I found this really difficult because there wasn’t really much I could take photos of that related to the RGB and the CMYK. So I had to go outside near my house to complete this task. Even know I couldn’t go on the trip I think this makes my work stand out a little more because it is different to everyone else’s photos.

Photo 1 Lucky Bamboo

This is one of my favourite photos that I have taken because of the way I have taken it. It is different from how I have taken my other images and I think that the lighting from the window makes the photo a lot brighter. Even when I have edited this photo on Photoshop by Gayscaling it or Duotning it, it still looks amazing. I think that’s why I like this image so much because no matter how I change it, it still looks bright, vibrant and detailed. If I was going to change anything i might change where I take it somewhere else with a more mute and pale background but that may of effected the lighting so it might not look as good.

Photo 2 Red Help Sign

I really liked the help sign that was near my house, because it was bright red and all the rust around the sides just added detail, texture and depth to my photo. This photograph looks amazing when you have duotoned it. It makes it so much brighter and the detail so much more detailed if that makes sense. I think Because this image is taken outside the natural light really brightens it up and help the photo a lot more, I think that if it was taken on a dull and rainy day it would not have the same effect it does now. I think because it is red it really catches your eye, it scientifically proven that red things jump out to people that’s why a lot of children toys are bright red.
