In this photo I decided to wash out the coloring in the sky and the coloring of most of the buildings. What I remember the most from seeing this imagery in person was the reflection in the water was prominent and the colors of the buildings and boats were very vibrant in regards to the water and sky. The edited photo I did is not a realistically visual image, but I loved changing the hues and changed the color balance of the various colors in order to create the end product. It was very interesting to change the hues and saturation of the colors within this photo because as I changed the coloring other parts of the picture became more vibrant. The end image is something that would not be seen by the naked eye, but I think it is a good representation of the intensity of colors that reflected upon each other in this area of Venice.

In this photograph I decided to mainly deal with the saturation and contrast of the original image. This photo was taken on a beautiful, sunny, and cloud-less day, which meant the colors were in full force and vibrant in person. After taking the image I noticed that I couldn’t get the photograph to show the vibrancy of the colors within the church through the lens as I saw in real-life. I decided to edit the coloring of the image in order to show the detail or colors within the church itself in regards to the intricate designs and the sky. It took a while to get the coloring just right with this image because I went for a more realistic end product with this photo. The end product that I wanted was more of what I saw in person as opposed to what was seen through the camera lens. I altered the color balances and the graphs with the coloring of the photo as well as modifying the brightness and darkness of some portions of this photo in order to get the edited version of this church.

With this photo I decided to edit it two separate ways. When re-coloring the photo and dealing with the coloring palette. This specific landscape I remember being so powerful with color that I wanted to emphasize. The way the sun was shining on the building and onto the garden above the fence and near the water was such a piece of artwork that I wanted to create a new piece of art through color correction. With my first version of the photo I decided to go with a darker contrast and saturation with all the objects in the picture besides the leaves and flowers within the landscape. The vibrant colors in the flowers did not look the same between the lens and what it looked like in real-life so I decided to create an even more dramatic version of the colors I experienced.

The day I went to visit the leaning tower of Pisa there were barely any clouds but it the light started to slowly go away earlier on in the day. I definitely needed to brighten up the lighting and changing the contrast and saturation in order to get the coloring viewed correctly. The buildings around the tower were so bright compared to the coloring of the tower itself that changing the coloring through the hues and contrasts was necessary to show the actual difference. Once everything started to change with the color balances and the color graphs the grass got greener, the sky got bluer and the coloring of the actual tower stood out in comparison to looking dull in the original photo.

On Murano Island
When this photo was taken the weather wasn’t so great on Murano Island and the sky and lack of light drained the actual colors out. In person the colors of the grass and accents of color in the light posts were so bright that it was unfortunate that the colors got drained out when taking the actual photo. When I took a look at the original photo I decided I wanted to alter the brightness and the contrast of the photo in order to make it look more like reality as opposed to the drained out look of the original photo. I placed several layers of brightness and saturation in order to make the picture look as if there was sufficient light from the sky and the sun when in reality it was raining and cloudy.

This was one of my favorite pictures I took during my trip, but the original picture barely got any of the details and the landscape that was seen by the human eye. The scenery of this picture and through the overlook of the balcony it was so nice to see the color of the sky while the sun went down and to see the haziness of the city below. I wanted to brighten up the photo in order to see more of the actual scenery that was hidden by the haziness. The coloring of the photo was difficult to work with because it was while the sun was setting, but it was easy to change and alter the hues and the individual color levels in order to get the sky the color it turned out. I wanted it to still look real, but through color balancing and saturation I was able to get the sky to look as if the sun was actually setting and the flash was on during the day, which it wasn’t.
