Photo Manipulation
18 Mar 2012
The 2 pictures above depict the quadrangle in my school at night. The left is the original I took at around 5pm after school. I started off with the aim to create a night impression of my school in Photoshop. Besides adjusting the hue, I also added in layers of filter and textures (using pictures of night skies and stars) to increase the luminosity of the dark blue background.
This is an essential step which serves to reflect the attractive and mystical image I have for my school. Two years ago, I had the fortune to sleep on the quadrangle floor with my classmates. It was during which I sensibly experienced the difference between the feelings I get from my school at day and at night.
An area I should take note of when working with the sky next time, will be the amount of stars that really shines at night. I have to learn to throw away the idealistic and naive part of myself. :(
