M3 Composition techniques

In the image of the moving car with the yellow Y in the background, I changed the shutter and made it slow so I can catch the movement of the cars. In this image I have your golden ratio and used the subject of the image as the yellow Y which is positioned towards the right of the image so the viewer can still get a feel of the environment surrounding it. To edit this image I used the healing brush tool in lightroom room to get rid of the lamp posts surrounding the subject, in order to make sure the viewer has its focus on the main subject. I also brushed over the sky and darkened the saturation to make the Y stand out from the background.

For this image I’ve cropped from the bottom right corner to the top left corner, meaning I could get rid of the lamppost on the right hand side as well as some of the pavement, to make sure the main focus of the image was the graffiti. Apart from that the only other things I did in this image was lightened the whites and darkened the blacks, so I could make the white flower stand out from the background. As well as increased the contrast and lowered the saturation. This image is composed well as it includes the technique leading lines as well as the rule of thirds to make the flowers the main subject of the image. 

 

This image I applied a mask all over the image the size of the red poppies, I download the saturation and increase the contrast. I then added another mask to just the poppies and then increased the saturation and highlights to make them vibrant and stand out to make them the main focus of the image. By using centre composition in this image makes the subject of the image powerful as it makes you focus on the middle of the image and the action that is taking place at that specific time. 

Similarly to the other graffiti photo I have applied a mask to the wall so I could highlight and darken the appropriate parts of the image I did this by adjusting the saturation and the contrast. I added another mask to the sky to darken as the sky was too light for the rest of the image, so it made it look odd. By changing the different contrast in the photo it made the subject of the image clearer so you could see what the image was and that the graffiti was on a brick wall. I took this image as a close up low angle shot to make the angle show that the NHS is powerful.
