DPP: Exercise 18: Colors into Tones 2

This exercise is a continuation of the previous, creating monochrome effects through the manipulation of color channels.  The brief calls for the use of particular types of photos from which we may choose one.  I settled on what seems the most enigmatic:

A landscape in which you emphasize the depth by strengthening the visual effect of haze.

I tried googling key words from this sentence but nothing particular to what we are doing here turned up.  I take it to mean that in an image with a considerable amount of cloudy sky, we can use the color channels to create more dramatic clouds, thereby emphasizing depth.

A confluence of events led today to taking a photo of the Burj Khalifa on a cloudy day and - voila! - exercise completed.

On the right is the processed color image.  A b&w copy of this is immediately after, followed by a copy in which the blue channel has been increased, and WB shifted slightly toward blue.

DPP: Exercise 17: Colors into Tones 1

The brief for this exercise calls for manipulating the tones of a black and white image.  The image in question should have strong contrasting colors, such as this one with red and green.  A b&w control was then produced and copies of this were manipulated to demonstrate how colors-as-tones can be exercised.    

DPP: Exercise12: Managing Tone

This exercise seems intended for those just beginning to work with image processing software. It requires taking any image, preferably one in need of processing, and performing adjustments to exposure, brightness, contrast, and white balance.

The image I have used here was taken during my work for assignment two.  I had just stepped into the street and was checking the settings on my camera when I saw a young father with his two daughters, one in each hand.  As we walked toward each other, I made eye contact and held up my camera.  He smiled and nodded and when I went down on one knee he paused for a moment, the camera shutter released, and he began moving again.  I able able to take one more image of the girls, with the father cut off at the waist, and then our encounter was over.
