Black and White Theme - Queens College

I took this photograph because I thought that the image would look interesting as it is symmetrical but also because the black and white gradients would emphasize the details on the building. I like this photograph because in the sky you can see the clouds through the different tones of black and white. I also like this because the black and white effect makes the photograph look old fashioned and gloomy. I edited this photograph by changing it to black and white.

                       This is my original photograph before I turned it black and white.

                                           

Black and White Theme - Daffodil

I took this photograph because I got the inspiration from a professional photograph of a daffodil in black and white. I like this photograph because all of the focus is on the head of one of the daffodils and you can see through the different shades of white where light is shining on to the head of the flower and where shadows have been formed. I edited this photograph by changing it to black and white.

                              This is the professional photograph that I took inspiration from.

My photograph differs from the professional one as my background is not solid black but is just a normal background that is out of focus and has been changed to black and white. Also my photograph is more of a birds eye view of the flower instead of a straight on close up.

                  This was my original photograph before I changed it to black and white.

Black and White Theme - Lamp

I took this photograph because of the contrast between the bright light bulb inside and the darkness outside of it. I like this photograph because such a bright light fades to black making the image look scary and gives a haunted feel to the photo. I edited this photograph by changing it to black and white.

Black and White Theme - Bluebells

I took this photograph because of all the different colours that were present in real life, I thought that the different colours would translate into different tones and shades of black and white and they have. I like this photograph because the main bluebell is in focus whereas the others are slightly out of focus. You can see a lot of detail in this photograph and the where there are different shades of black and white you can tell where there would be different colours. I edited this photograph by changing it black and white.

Black and White Theme - Sign

I took this photograph because originally the sign was a vibrant red and so I thought that by turning it black and white, the vibrant red would change to a deep black, as it has. I like this photograph because the writing sticks out from the background of the sign and the wall that the sign is attached to gets darker as you move down the photograph. I edited this photo by changing it to black and white.

Black and White Theme - Lanterns

I took this picture because I imagined this photograph in black and white before I edited it and knew that all of the different colours would be shown by the different shades of black and white and I thought that would look interesting. I like this photograph because there is a dark lantern which is the key feature of the photograph but there are also much lighter lanterns in the background which you notice afterwards. I edited this photo by adjusting the black and white levels to get the shades of black and white that I was happy with.

               This was my original photograph before I adjusted the black and white levels.

Netball Theme - Netball trainers

I took this photograph because professional netball players have professional netball trainers. I like this photograph because the filter used gives the photo a gloomy and serious effect and the position in which the feet are allows us to see almost all angles of the trainers. I cropped this photograph so the only the trainers were in it and used the filter Fresco to add the serious and darker effect.

                      This is my original photograph before I cropped and added a filter to it.
