PICTURE 2 POST PRODUCTION

PHOTOSHOP PROCESS

1. For this picture, i thought that there wasnt much colour in it, and was looking very bland. i looked at the colour levels, but they were ok, i then saturated the image a lot more, to make the cathedral look colourful, and on the blue sky background, looks very good. There is a dark blue sky, making it look like the weather was really nice and hot (which it was!) and the yellow of the cathedral makes it stand out a lot!.
2. I also did not need to crop this image, as the photo was just the right size so that i got all of the cathedral in one shot; i did not have to merge two pictures together.

TECHNICAL DETAIL

File Format: JPEG
Compression and data size: Set to 12 on photoshop for maximum quality.

BIGSTOCK PHOTO

On bigstockphoto.com, there werent many cathedral pictures on there, hence the reason i took photos of the cathedral as there was a gap in the market. The categories used for my photo was Architecture->Churches/religious, Places->European Cities, Places->travel. Using 3 categories means that more people will view my image and potentially buy it!

Keywords used->architecture, buildings, cathedral, lincoln, da vinci code, magna carta, magna, carta, church, christianity, religion, religious, landmark, old, historical, history,

Submission -> all my photos were submitted with sucess, although i am still waiting for approval from bigstockphoto
