4 of 4 final images





To recreate this image I had to go to the train station in Central Nottingham and take a portrait shot of the train track I had to get onto a platform and take the image of the long track.

When editing I went onto the Photoshop software and firstly I opened the image up onto it and then I made a new layer which I used the brush tool to darken the selected areas which is mostly the sides I did this by changing the brush size to around 700 and changed the opacity to 65% furthermore to get the lighter areas so it faded in i changed the brush size to 500 and changed the opacity to 17% Furthermore I made another layer And I copied and pasted a 'Grain texture image'' from the internet and I changed the opacity of the image to 8% so the fade has more of an effect and it looks retro. Furthermore On another layer I then used the dodge tool to brighten the end of the track up and make it lighter just like the Image i'm recreating.
