Casting a Shadow

My favourite and most used editing app when it comes to photos, is Adobe’s Lightroom

You have to sign up to adobe but that’s about it! Most of the features are free, obviously you can pay to access the whole package, but I find you have more than enough features without having to pay.

On this image, I enhanced the shadows and contrast to add depth and definition to the image.

What do you think?

For this one, I added more black tones to the podiums so that the green grass in the distance stood out.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

Light Trails

In photography, light trails are when you can see the pattern that is left from lights.

These can be done using your torch on your phone, a coloured filter over a light source, through a glass for added effects – anything. Although, you will need a camera, or camera equipment that allows you to alter the shutter speed.

A slower shutter speed allows the above effect. I usually have the shutter speed on 10 seconds. Doing so at night, gives a better effect than during the day. If you want lights, nighttime is the time.

Shutter speed of 10 seconds, F11 and iso 100

These will need to be altered, depending on the amount of natural light you have.

Find a dark space, set up your camera and have fun!

You can literally spend hours playing around with these effects!

Have fun!

City Views

Newcastle is home to many beautiful bridges.

On the Quayside alone, it is home to 5 bridges, all serving a different purpose.

The millennium bridge was opened by the Queen of England in May 2002. This bridge is just pedestrianised and for cyclists. It has a cool skill to it, as it turns on its side to let the boats through!

The Tyne bridge is the big green which allows cars and buses over.

The high level bridge allows buses and taxis over but just one way.

The Swing bridge is a dual road bridge from Gateshead to Newcastle.

And the blue one is for the metro!

It’s all go at the Quayside!
