In the first picture I dropped the saturation changing the image to a black and white, although I increased the temperature because I wanted the image to look warm and comfortable.
I wanted the second image to be jarring like an alarm clock is so I replaced the background with a flat black. I lowered the saturation to bring the image closer to black and white, but with some color as if your eyes are adjusting to the first light of the day.
I used the faded photo affect Colorful Center to mute the surroundings of this shot, because in the morning whats more important... the counter or coffee?
So there is this outlet in my bathroom that I haven't rewired or even covered yet, and thanks to the power of photoshop it has been taken care of. I also cropped an open doorway into our livingroom which took the focus off of brushing teeth, and hey brushing teeth is important.
In the fith image the combination of the cords the down and the sherling boots reminded me of the 70's. I leaned into the reds for hues and lightened the shadows dramatically. I think it gives this shot the same look as family photos I have from years gone by.
The image of Lindsey going into the car was not altered a whole bunch. I just sampled the color of the dashboard and painted over my not so beautiful Rutland Transfer station sticker.
On the 7th image of the car pulling into the rink I added the superfan Appled vinyl The 8th photo was taken at dusk, but my story leads one to believe that it occurs during the day, so I lightened the shot used a bit more color stauration, and used the skin tone feature to give Linds a tan, cause Lindsey likes tans.
I took this over Lindseys Shoulder, than I cropped it to make the stands apear fuller. I then faded the color out of the right of the shot so that the game is the obvious focus.
We have some excitement, anticipation, and intensity here. I changed to black and white, cropped out most of the details of the picture, and gave it a slight red tint. It captures the pleasurable anxiety that is watching sports.
