How I Roll

 For the first item of How I Roll, I  took a picture of two of the staples in my diet, bagels and cookies. In Lightroom, I turned up the warmth, clarity, and boosted certain colors. Then I moved the picture over to Photoshop and turned the background to black and white.

 For this picture of my and my brother's bikes, I made the wheels clearer and enhanced the sharpness of the image in Lightroom. In Photoshop, I brightened the blue bicycle in front so that it would better contrast the darker red bike in back.

 A true pun on How I Roll, I use dice often. Thus when I moved this picture into Lightroom, I brightened the different hues of all the dice so that they would pop out. It wasn't finished yet, but Photoshop soon saw to that. A pencil in the top corner was deleted, and two dice were changed to become a different color.

Legos are one of my passions, and they turly show How I Roll. In this shot, I took mostly round bricks, wheels, gears, and bricks with holes to keep up with a theme of rolling. I brightened the background in Lightroom, as well as emphasizing the shadows. Then, in Photoshop, I altered the colors of select bricks to bring them more into the viewer's eye.
