Assignment 1

  Original picture
These days there are many softwares that let you edit pictures and  crop the unwanted display in your picture . We can easily upload the picture and download free software editing tools to make the picture appear the way you want to. This picture was taken in Niagara at Port Dalhousie on September labour day long weekend while coming back from buffalo, new york after going shopping  as we wanted to get away from the city life and get some fresh air and relax near the lake ontario. There were couples there to relax and enjoy the last week of the summer and other people coming there to fish and some parents bringing their children to enjoy the wheather and the scenery of the place. And as you can see at the bottom picture sailors coming back from sailing at the end of the day. I love the picture of the light house it makes me remind me of the ghost pictures that i had seen before. I  edited this picture to look like it is actually shown in the movies as an broken down old place which has been abandoned, makes you think and wonder about the spirits wandering around and where tourist come to visit the haunted place. I also cropped the arms of the person on the left as it doesnt makes the picture look good.

This is also taken in Niagara at a place called      Port Dalhousie. I cropped the side of the picture and gave a special effects called Tilt Shifted.Tilt shift photographs create an optical illusion that makes scenes appear as if they are actually miniature models .The outer edges are blurred which tricks the eye into thinking everything in the unblurred parts as miniature and it is easy to reproduce. When you look at this picture you feel at ease and feel like going cruising with your friends to get away from the city life and forget all the stress behind. These days there many more expensive software programs where you can do more with your digital images, where you can remove the wrinkles and make someone look younger and remove scars or erase red eye photos. The edited picture looks more clear and brighter while the original looks a bit dull and shows more clouds in the sky makes you feel like its going to rain.
