My Plan : For this assignment I want to take photos of the act of paper burning paper quickly and edit to enhance the flame and textures.
My New Photos:
For this shoot, I had my mom light pieces of paper on fire while I took photos. I tried to focus mainly on the actual flames but also include the after math and the burnt paper. I decided to take these pictures with the flash on because I think brightness makes a photo more clear brings out a lot of detail. I think this shoot was successful but also could have been better. I think it was successful because I was able to get some good action photos and I like the way my photos came out; However, I think I would have been able to get some more detailed and photos with the actual flame if the burning paper smell did not start to stink up my house and almost set off the fire alarm.
My Edits:
When editing I edited each individual photo in a unique way. For the first one, I adjusted the Hue and Saturation and got this very faint blue witch balances with the darker shade of the burning paper and the small amount of red flame that was still burning. The second one I mostly focused on the exposure and brightness and I like the way it came out because it looks like part of a movie seen and has this dark feel to it but the red from the flames will draw the viewers eye to that part of the photo and I feel like the colors are well balanced. The third edit is actually two photos in one. I was not able to get a photo of the flame from the lighter and a flame on the paper in the same image so I combined the two then put it in black and white and evened out the darks and lights. In the third photo I just enhanced the vibrance and saturation in order to bring out the detail and color of the burn in the middle of the paper.
