Exercises 4 Editing

Editing . using aperture 3 mac

The shoot that I had done over the 3 days  in Shenzhen, I have taken 1 set to do this exercise. The set being the day at the EYE OF THE WORLD :

less the photo of the Girl friend still gave 360 images to edit . To see if they are perfect. one must first run them through processing . as raw images do not show sharp, and contrast.
However to quickly select a few. this method showed to produce good results.

Producing in aperture 3 the following contacts . 

Editing step 1 

from the above sets . I removed 34 that are either un sharp or not worthy to look at. 

Editing step 2 

Going through the remainder photographs selecting from the fist selects to narrow down to a few that will be the bast from the batch (selects)

Editing step 3   

Here I will work through the above to find a  few that stands out from the above 

After loading this up Off to take a break to re fresh my mind . 

Editing step 4 

To narrow down the selection again .

This is not to examine or portray the eye of the world. if the project was for that. My choice would be different .

Now I have to make a choice to show my creativity for publication. 

Only to photographs to be used

this is my final selection.:

This is difficult . i asked 3 people two came with the same select , the other towards the same and my view . That is ?

Top right 8743

We all like the little girl in the water . Both in fact. However , they may be candid , but not creative. 

Arena seats top Left shows an interesting pattern with the eye focusing to the cocacola bottle . 7979.

The Arches 8048 gave a nice tunnel composition . The two night images are attractive. the Fountains have a nice composition leading round from the right to the back. With rich colour. 

Nevertheless ; neither yielded  that odd angle and creativity, So my choice are these two. 

The above Creative as to the intent when i took and composed the image . Waiting for the wind and cloud to position  the floating flowers in the right place . using the law of threes. using a triangle composition. So that the eye leads left to right moving to the back of the picture. being lost in refection. 

  

This image also intent to be creative to the fullest using a super wide 10mm lens . Filling the frame with the wall moving from corner to corner of the frame. with a boy at the end of the wall as a focal point. 

stopping down to give as much depth as possible.
