Not what I would normally upload, but a work friend decided to have us all round for steak and chips (DAMN he can cook). But I decided to shoot the whole night using just my Holga and Sprocket Rocket. Here are the ones I liked, found interesting and just found aesthetically pleasing. Its something that I feel Ive seen before but never shot before, reminds me of a few different photographers work. Variety of films used inc' Neopan, XP2, and Portra (I think) with the addition of the Lomo Colour Splash film.

How to make one of these in Photoshop Elements:
Sizes ... dark blue background (Ctrl + letter N, & then blue colour splashed on with the Paint Bucket tool) : 2048 x 768 px ...
plus my sky photo re-sized & cropped to 2048 x 400 px. and then copied and pasted onto the centre of the dark blue one.
(Re-size the width to 2048px, and then crop the height gradually down to about 400px.).
Layers > flatten image ... or Ctrl plus letter E, before saving image (Ctrl + Shift + letter S, to get up the Save As menu).
More keyboard commands, which I use all the time ...
Ctrl + letter A ... to select the entire image
Ctrl + letter C ... to copy it
Ctrl + letter V ... to paste it onto centre of the background
Ctrl + letter D ... to de-select / undo your selection.
My thanks to Mary Irwin Watercolors ... Mary suggested these sizes, which have worked well for her.

For Photography A-Level coursework (Year 13).
I took this photo in the dark room in the studio as I wanted to be able to use the dark background and backdrops in this shoot. I used a softbox light so that the lighting wasn’t too intense. I instructed my model to pose in different ways that I could show the shoes, which are the main focus of the image as I decided to take a more fashion photography direction with this shoot, by using models as a development. I decided to use a blue backdrop as it contrasts from the bright red shoes, making them pop out from the backdrop. When editing I increased the saturation of the red and blue hues as these are the two main hues in the photo, and I wanted bright colours to be a common thing in this shoot like the previous shoot. In the second version of the image I used the colour splash technique to only keep the shoes and the model’s legs in colour. I did this by desaturating all of the other hues except for the red hue. I did this as I wanted to make it obvious that the shoes are the main focal point in that version of the image, rather than the bright colours altogether. I increased the brightness to make the photo brighter and more eye-catching. I increased the contrast to emphasise the contrast between the brightest point in the centre of the image, and the natural vignette around the corners of the image. I increased the vibrancy and saturation subtly, as I wanted the image to be bright and colourful but I did not want the image to be too warm-toned. I increased the shadows and highlights, to emphasise the white parts of the photo such as the parts of the shoes and the socks, but also the darker areas around the edge of the photo, creating a vignette. I added clarity to emphasise the details and textures in the photo, such as the pattern of the backdrop, the jeans and the shoes. The composition is successful as the model’s legs fit within the centre section using the rule of thirds, and lie against the vertical lines. Leading lines are created by the model’s legs which leads your eyes down the photo. A professional, commercial mood is created by the use of the backdrop, high key lighting and a well-known shoe brand. I used an aperture of f/5 as I wanted the shoes and the model to be the main focus of the photo, but also having the backdrop in focus. I also did not want the photo to be underexposed by using a smaller aperture. I used a shutter speed of 1/20 sec as the softbox lighting did not provide the brightest lighting, and I didn’t want to risk underexposing the photo.
