Black and White - Photoshop

To achieve this look, I used Quick Edit on photoshop and muted the colours by decreasing the saturation.
For this photo, I used Full Edit and under Photo Effects used "Faded Photo: Colourful Center".
To achieve this effect, I changed the colour mode to Greyscale. I then changed it to RGB mode and coloured the grapes.
In this photo, I used Full Edit on photoshop. I then went to Photo Effects and changed my photo to sepia. Finally, I added crosshatching to add texture.

Journal 2: Captured Culture

“Safety First”
Christina Z., 2011
I was on a walk to the beach one evening when I came across this helmet on a fire hydrant. About a half an hour later I walked by again, and the helmet was still there. I guess someone though that the fire hydrant deserves to be safe too.

“Music to My Ears”
Christina Z., 2011
This is the piano in my family room. I learned to play several years ago, which was a great experience. Music is a big part of me, whether singing, listening or playing; especially if it’s anything Beatles.

“Look What I Found!”
Christina Z., 2011
This is Layla, my two year old dwarf rabbit. When I had her out the other night, she discovered the ring which attaches her food bowl to the cage. She seemed to find it interesting, and was slightly possessive of it, hence her eyeing me with the camera.

“At the Tips of My Fingers”
Christina Z., 2011
Nail polish represents my creativity. I love art, especially sketching, photography and nail art. I find the process of creating a work of art extremely relaxing after a long day.

“Reflection”
Christina Z., 2011
This rose was floating in my pool the other day, so I took it as an opportunity to take pictures. I thought the contrast between the orange flower and the blue water was beautiful. Beauty in nature is my favourite part of being outdoors.
