While exploring uphill Lincoln throughout the week, I was able to take some more photos experimenting with the white balance, ISO, shutter speed and aperture of my camera. This allowed for me to take some excellent photos, that when I edited in Lightroom, turned out very well.
This image was taken in a cloudy light in uphill Lincoln. It was taken using an ISO of 100, an exposure time of 1/200th of a second and F-stop 5.6. In Lightroom, I adjusted the clarity of the image to give it a full HDR appearance. I also darkened the shadows and the highlights to give the image a moodier feel, which I think shines through. I am proud of how this image turned out, although peer feedback suggested that if I had taken it from a lower angle, I would have been able to prevent cropping at the top of the image.This image of the fountain in the Lincoln arboretum was taken during late afternoon. The ISO I used was 1/100th, the f-stop was 5.6 and the exposure time was 1/30. In Lightroom, I decided to bring out the blues more, and create a darker, moodier image. Using split toning, I made the highlights a hint of blue, which reflected well on the water.This photo of the terraces by the Cathedral was taken in late evening. ISO 1/100, f-stop 5.6 and exposure time 1/200th. I decided to make this photo look almost-retro, by increasing the oranges and browns of the image. I also adjusted the ‘clarity’ setting to give a HDR look to the photo.This silhouetted shot of the leaves in the gardens of the Usher Gallery was taken in late evening. ISO 1/100, f-stop 5.6 and shutter speed 1/100. In Lightroom, I continued to work on bringing out the vibrance of the greens and blues, while still maintaining a good silhouette of the leaves against the background.
