Edited animals

 When editing this image I firstly changed the highlights to -100, this made the background less bright and more sharp green visible also it made the animal look sharper especially the cows horns as you can see in the first image it is not sharp. Secondly I changed the shadows to -78 this made the color of the cow more darker around the shoulder areas and gave it a  polish to the black fur, it made the cow look like it has smoother fur. I then changed the blacks setting which was similar to shadows, this made the lower part of the cow darker to make it look sharp.

When editing this image I changed the tint slightly to make the feet look brighter to
+4, secondly I changed the contrast to +33 so it made the furs a little more darker and sharper, after that I changed the blacks to -17 so the head of the chicken was more red and visible as you can see when compared the first image to second. I then changed the vibrance to +38 and the saturation to +18 so the feathers on the chicken was more vibrant and colorful an example of this when you look at the feathers on the second image you can see that  the feathers are more blue, green and turquoise

To edit this image I changed the shadows to -43 this made the lower body of the duck more darker (feet) . Secondly I added white to +18 so the feathers neck wasn't too dark because it has white on its neck this also gave more detail to the face of the duck, I then reduced the blacks to -39 so the feathers wasn't too bright because it has a gold/darkbrown color therefore this was correctly exposed adding more detail onto the feathers and making them sharper.

When editing this image I changed the shadows to -38 this made the chicken look sharper and made the fur look more accurate especially the chickens neck area, furthermore I reduced the blacks to -43 so the feathers was darker but this made the chicken in whole look quite dark so changed the vibrance to +38 and made the chicken even out and more sharp edged, I then added saturation +40 to give it more color especially on the chickens head, it looks much more professional because the head has more yellow and brown tone to it.

Firstly when editing this horse I changed the shadows to -27 so the fur on the horse looks more silky and smooth secondly I reduced the blacks  to -49 so we can see the detail on the fur (all the strokes of hair), after that I changed the vibrance up to +51 this made it give the horse a golden color which looks more professional and bright  also it looks like it is a very sunny day and the horse has been exposed to the sun.

When editing this image I firstly added more tint to it +18 this gave it the purple look I done this to show the multiple colors the pig  has on the fur, secondly I reduced the black even more to -17 so the fur got darker on the pigs lower body because the lower body wasn't exposed to that much light, finally I changed the vibrance to +43 this gave the blue effect on the pigs neck and head (upperbody), which made it look more smooth and colorful, I changed the saturation to +33 so the pigs ears and nose stood out more.

This first contact sheet was used with my ISO level 400 this was to make it bright and stand out but not too bright so they are correctly exposed, On the P1150067.RW2 image I focused the camera on the ledge but the bird flew away it would have been a good image if there was a bird to do this I had to put the camera setting on AF (autofocus) so it focused on the image until the shot was taken and the button was released,

The ISO settings for these images was 600 this was because when I was taking these images the sun was covered by a cloud so it was a little dark this meant that the animals didn't have much exposure especially the pigs which have a dark color to them already.Therefore I had to change the ISO and make them eye-catching to the camera. also for these images I used an aperture of f22 so I got the sharpness of the animals including their background.

I also used an ISO of 600 for these images because they was a little dark and I made them brighter by changing the ISO furthermore on the P1150041.RW2 image I reduced the depth of field and used a wide aperture so my pigeon stands out because it was on a ledge and I didn't want to get the background of it by doing this I made the pigeon look really sharp for mostly the other images I used Autofocus.
