These are the sample photos where I used external light for my photos. In the first one I relied mostly on the bold colour of the bike to make the photo eye catching and increased the contrast so the colour would come out more. I also lowered the saturation of everything but the red so it would jump out even more.
The photo below I used the same external light as before but tried a different angle. I also completely desaturated everything other than the blues and the red, the blues saturation was upped to around 30 and the red was slightly lowered to about -10. The contrast of the photo was increased and the brightness pretty much stayed the same. Note that the angle of the photo was so that the bars would be highlighted away from the sky, I did this by placing the light hidden directly behind the stem of the bike this light also gives the tyres more definition.
The phot below is my favourite out of the samples because it's different to what I've done before. As you can probably tell I've only ever took photos of the tricks and action of skateboarding and bmx but in this photo I've managed to catch the a segment of the lifestyle. It's not as exciting as most people thing, especially in the winter. As we love in England the weathers often a factor in when we can ride and during the winter the weather takes no prisoners, it's cold, wet and the motivation to ride is strained massively. That's one of the main reasons why I love it! You get to know who is cermitted to the sport and who's worth the time. In this photo it's captured how social media and the Internet has effected action sports and how we are all connected. The overall editing of the photos was that I lowered the brightness and highered the contrast both by 50 and decreased the brightness of the yellows. I decreased the brightness of the yellows because the hat just looked out of place in the photo and stood out more than I liked.
