These are a few of my best photos from the March 2012 London Trip. I feel these photographs really represent London and the streets of London. They show everyday things that you would see around London and they show some iconic objects and images.
I achieved this image by editing the colour to sepia, bringing out the sharpness and then using softening and blur tools to give it the soft, warm feel. I think the photo looks really vintage looking, especially with the curved edges i added. This really shows juxtaposition, the photo itself is really old and vintage looking yet the London Eye in the photo is new. 
I achieved this image by sharpening it all to make it stand out more. I also adjusted the greyscale to make it almost black and white but heightened the red colours of the red bus to stand out. I think the one red area stands out really well against the black white and grey. The contrast in this photo is really high and it gives it more definition between the light and shaded areas.
This photograph of the London eye i achieved by adjusting the sky blue colour to make it more bright and vibrant. I then adjusted the sharpness of the whole photo to make it more clear and stand out more. In this photo there is a really strong use of hard light, the sun and it really makes the darkness of the London Eye stand out.
This photograph of the graffiti i achieved by turning the picture into black and white and sharpening it. I adjusted the colour levels so that only the colour blue is picked up. I think this looks really different and stands out. I adjusted the contrast levels and the whit balance in this photo so that the darker shaded areas really stand out. 
I achieved this image by turning it into black and white. I adjusted he colour levels so that only blue would come through and i think it goes really well with the black and white. I think the feel of the underground graffiti scene represents London well. The contrast levels were also adjusted here to make the light parts of the photo brighter and the darker areas stand out against them more.
I love this photo i think it looks really different and really stands out. It is bright and colourful and the graffiti writing really represents London. I achieved this photo by brightening all of the colours that appear in the photo and then adding a 'vibrant' effect on it to really make the colours bold and bright. I then used a softened blur on the areas surrounding the colourful graffiti to make the graffiti stand out even more. This photo gives a really interesting bubbily texture and the amount of colour in it is amazing. 
I achieved this photograph by editing the colour to black and white and softening the photo. I added a soft blur to the photo to give it a warm, soft feel. I decided to take this picture because Street Mimers are something that represent London, they are something you see on the streets of London everyday. This photo gives off a really warm tone and colour. 
I achieved this photo by again, adjusting the photograph to black and white, but adjusting the colour levels to only pick out the colour blue. I then added a softened blur to the photo to make the focal point of the photo what is at the end of the long pole. I think this looks really effective.
This photograph is one of my favourites. The street statues are iconic for London, you can find them on streets all over the city. I achieved this photograph by changing the colour levels to sepia and then sharpening the whole photograph to make the darker areas more clear and stand out more. I think the creamy colour of the sky gives the photo a warm soft glow. With the bridge and the River Thames in the background i think this photo especially represents London.
