For previous shoots i have just gone through the contact sheet and editing all of the ones i liked, but this meant that i was editing a lot of images and i doubt people would want to go through large amounts of images that are of the same subject. Therefore i thought it might be more of a successful collection if i just choose nine to edit that work together to represent the old town of Side.

To begin with i edited the images following a tutorial that gave the images a brighter centre and a darker vignette around the edges. I then edited them a second time to cross-process them and give them a black vignette. This is an example of how the first two sets of edits came out...

 

I didn't really like the black vignette around the second set of images - i think it takes the attention away from the subject. However i think the colours that are produced from digitally cross-processing them are really interesting! On the other hand i think the colours displayed in the first set of images aren't as strong as they are after being digitally cross-processed, but i do like the vignette effect in these images where the colours just gradually get darker as they reach the edges of the image. Therefore i thought it would make sense to edit them again and combine the two elements i am really happy with from each set to create a really strong set of images. I was much happier with this result!
