Composition

 This image has the glass centred in the middle of the rule of thirds to focus the viewer on the centre

 I framed the image here with the circle, this is a nice effect as it shows natural beauty from an industrial point of view

 I focused the swirl in the central part of the rule of thirds so all attention is drawn into the middle as it is the most important part

 I used this bench as a leading line to curve round and cause mystery towards the end of the photo

 I used rule of thirds to position the middle eye in the centre of a crossing line so attention is drawn to the centre

 I made sure the eye was in the centre of the rule of thirds to focus the viewers attention to the most important feature

 I used the bars to divide up the image, this focus' the viewers attention and breaks up the image to see them in a different way

 Here I took into account depth of field, the road, the sky and the buildings are on 3 different levels to give the photo a great look

 

 There are leading lines into the centre of the image to draw attention to the building as it is the important feature

I used the curb as a leading line to focus the attention on the end of the photo, it works well to draw the viewer in

Devonshire Green Frame

I took this photo from behind one of the sculptures in Devonshire Green. I took this photo as I like the frame that the circular cut out makes with the background. I like the way the nature in the background interacts well with the man made features next to it. I also feel the sculpture adds texture to the foreground. I feel the creativity comes here not only with the sculpture but with the contrast of nature in the background. I felt as this did not need editing due to the fact that the colours contrast with the others well naturally.

Soundhouse

I took this photo of Soundhouse in Sheffield as it demonstrates both the creativity of the musicians that work in there and also the digital aspects of the production that happens in the building. I also feel as though the building is creative itself due to the soundproofing material look on the outside. The shadow of the building on the Soundhouse shows the new and digital Sheffield coming out of the industrial shadow it had in the past. To edit this photo I used the Hue/Saturation tool to make the background much more vibrant, this puts the building in a new light and helps it stand out in contrast to the now, more colourful background.

Iron Bars

I took this photo of sheffield from behind these Bars on a bridge to capture the derelict part of sheffield within the digital and creative city. I tried to focus in on the bars and have the buildings in the background less in focus so to show the derelict and worn away part of sheffield in contrast to the new parts of the city. I wanted this photo to be taken at dawn, so to edit this, I used the curves tool to make only the background darker, then I used the hue/saturation tool to make it darker again, this makes the photo look as though it was shot in the morning.

Leading Line Devonshire Green

This is a picture of a sculpture bench in the Devonshire Quarter, I took this photo as I like the contrast between the stone and the bushes. I feel the sculpture is also creative due to its shape. I took this to demonstrate the leading line that the sculpture creates. To edit this I first selected around the sculpture and inverted the selection, then I used the Blur tool to make the sculpture more prominent. I then edited the curves to make it darker. I used the smudge tool to smooth the edges of the sculpture which made the blur effect look smoother.
