colour popping

Before I started colour popping my actual images, I wanted to practise on some images from the Internet until I got the basic idea of how to do it. Personally, I found colour popping fairly easy and enjoyable because of the freedom you have with the colours you want or don't want. 

By practising on pictures from the Internet, I got a rough idea of the colours that stood out the most. Red, blue and yellow were the colours that mainly caught my eye. Due to this, I decided to concentrate on colour popping parts of my images that included these colours.

I personally like this joiner the best which was shot in bradford cathedral. Because the image was on a window, I was very aware of the aperture and the correct exposure. However, the outcome of the joiner was dark overall. I could change this by simply reshooting and changing the aperture. 

As you can see, this joiner didn't exactly go to plan. The window I was shooting only had two strips of glass however, my finished joiner had four. This is because when I was shooting, I wasn't fully aware of my placement, causing the joins to be off. 

Again, the joiner is slighting bent. Because the subject I was photographing was higher than where I was stood, it made it very difficult to photograph it straight. However, I realised that I could tilt the images in Photoshop so I continued with photographing the window. Overall, I like the outcome of this image because the purples and red really stand out with the black out of the wall.
