A Day in the Life of The Trusty Trib

After Editing
         For my 'Day in the Life" project, I decided to document a day in the life of my car, respectively named "The Trusty Trib". We were supposed to take pictures using different ISO's throughout the day. This picture was taken, from my car, at the entrance of Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area, in Bloomington, MN. The ISO for this picture is 64, and was taken during the day, so there was a lot of light in the picture. To edit it, I used Photoshop CS4, first, I cropped the picture, so that everything that was happening on the left side of the photograph isn't visible, due to the fact that it isn't the focus of this photograph. Then I clicked on auto color and auto tone to get rid of some noise and to clear up the photograph. After that I adjusted the brightness and contrast to enhance the shadows and help with bringing out some key colors. Lastly, I changed the vibrancy of the photograph to even further enhance the key colors. This photograph shows my strength that is the ability of being able to edit photographs well, but my weakness is choosing the perfect subject.
