Biodiversity - A journey in nature

Final images canvas, 500 word evaluation and saved as screenshots

For this task I chose to split my choice of images into three separate categories, residential, industrial and canal.  The residential area is approximately a 5 minute walk from the college, the industrial area is a wee bit further, about 10 – 15 minutes, and the canal is about 20 minutes, that is if you don’t keep stopping to take pictures like we did

When passing through the residential area there were bins scattered around but so much rubbish lying on the ground and stuck in trees, black bags lying next to bins, I don’t know if the bags have been dragged and opened by dogs / birds or other animals, or people just don’t care / need to be educated.  The area has some nice green areas with trees and bushes, areas for the kids to play as well, but the area is spoiled by the scattered rubbish.

Moving on to the industrial estate area, this was in two parts, before the motorway and across the other side of the motorway. Again, plenty of green areas with bushes and trees, grassy areas, wild areas to encourage life but also much fly-tipping and general rubbish lying around.  I have noticed that a lot of industrial estate areas seem to be favourite spots for fly-tipping.  I think this is because people don’t want to pay the levy when taking big bits of rubbish or industrial rubbish to the tip.

Once we reached the canal area there was still a bit of rubbish lying around, and in the water, but greatly reduced.  We didn’t get too far along the canal as we were only going as far as the nature reserve, so we were still in a built-up area surrounded by houses and businesses, but this area seemed to be more careful about how they looked after the environment in which the lived and worked.

Overall, Glasgow has a lot of green space, the local council / government encourage activities within green spaces for people’s health and wellbeing.  These spaces are also great for helping the local wildlife and nature in general to thrive. I think a lot of people in the residential areas and industrial areas don’t think of these green spaces as places of nature, if they have lived in the city all their life and rarely leave that city environment they associate nature with the countryside only, and not as any green space whether countryside or city.

To close, I think more should be done to educate people in general about the environment, and for young children, so that their learning passes on to future generations, maybe more trips to farms, parks with rangers, to learn about how nature helps the environment in general, and them to live good healthy lives. It would be nice to see people being more respectful of their living and working areas in general.  I imagine that it is the minority in these places that do not care, but it would be nice if we could find a way for them to care more.

𝐀 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 ...

the details sparse but a few things are incredibly clear a voice that calls and an uncertain future beckons them forward. One wakes covered in sweat wrapped in the horns of a dilemma as slowly the thick fog of a muddled mind and the details of such a vivid and yet entirely vague dream surface.

Options.

Options that weigh heavy on ones mind knowing that as soon as a traitor's head falls choices will need to be made and a dedicated path decided upon - the choice though is never easy. Only green seers and three eyed-ravens see and even then the path still unclear for until something is chosen all is up to chance. What does one do at a crossroad but take up one destiny and abandon another?

A DREAM REVEALED (1/6)...

Derya dreamt of an embattled shoreline inundated with relentless and restless waves. The drowned god cried out to his long lost child, wrestling the storm trying to reach out with the briny skeletal fingers of the rising tide dashing themself upon the rocks in the glorious spray of the ocean's blood. The winds howled like the baying of wolves shouting with equal measure to beg a breaker of tides to pick up the oar of a debris spat up on the sand. Pick up the oar and travel far enough in land where they would mistake the mighty tool of the sea for a shovel and there bury their bones with no guarantee the roots one planted would ever flower and foster a seed to bear fruit or any other thing. There at the Drumm's feet laying whimpering and dying was a wolf, badly injured growling in response to the wind but whimpering as it tried to move. To save the dangerous beast there was no guarantee one could return to the water or that traveling into the land where oars would be mistaken for shovels if she carried it in her arms that the pack or villagers would not eat the sea monster alive. Then sharp eyes could see the storm, sense the tribulation in the clouds and the thundering. They were thick and black clouds gathering ever menacingly off in the distance that begged a person to make a choice threatening that if one didn't make it that one of the choices would wash away or worse - the wolf would die without her.

The one choice was rather obvious to what it was to return to what was always know. Choose the iron way, dive deep into the sea  to a life always known no matter how unknown the churning of it may be for the bone hand knew the way through the water to rise and rise again. Derya could go home with their family, with brother to be his shadow and the sword in the dark as something sinister lingered there on the horizon that did not yet reveal itself.

The next choice was to run as far away from the water as possible and the howling of winter winds and wolves to were there was no sea or to places they would forget who they were. Marry someone and burry all that they were in the ground to take a chance at a loveless life where happiness and children were not assured. Go marry a stranger who knew nothing of the glory she held within her to die likely alone and loveless - to give up on the sea and steer clear of wild things. The storm would still come - the danger ever increasing but this was the most unassured fate and where would one find ones self when rains came to wash them out to sea? Would the drowned god spit them back?

Lastly, there was the wolf - dying at her feet which presented its own unique possibilities. Many different fates stemmed off this singular one. Was the wolf what the Drumm afraid of or was it the pack or the villagers the ironborn could encounter that terrified them more. There were wounds one could not see, injuries one would never know the wolf had as it stubbornly, desperately tried to move forward carrying its own unbearable weight alone. The shore was no place to stay, the water would not take the injured soul but kill it firmly. The storm that was coming would test it beyond its measure and though it may survive the things sustained would see it further sickness and succumb to its wounds with greater and even more unbearable pain. Hands wanted to pick it up to carry it knowing for some reason the injured thing trusted her - she was the only one there on that beach that could take it where it needed to be. That could take it home but what awaited the Drumm in that direction was also unknown. Wolves would be hungry for blood, smell it on their injured pack mate and see it on her hands and tear her asunder. The pack could though see the ironborn who turned away from the sea as a protector, a shelter from the storm and defender against the dark but what would the impression of the people of the spade and not the rutter think? Would they howl like the wind, tear the ironborn apart and not understand their bloodied hands had risked all they knew and a chance to never return to the sea to save a creature she was certainly not beholden too in anyway? Derya knew exactly what this was - what and who it symbolized. It was neither choosing to run far from him and the north into unknown arms or even to her beloved sea. It was to pick him up, wounded and hemorrhaging trust for the betrayal he'd had and to carry him home. They had no idea if that meant being his protector watching him marry another to be eaten up by wolves and burned by dragons. Derya did not know if this meant to wander into the wolf's den to curl around him and served as his mistress there as he married another knowing the people would hate her as his queen would surely hate her hoping one day to cast Derya back to the sea. Perhaps it even meant simply to choose him  over everyone else accepting that the shore would be swallowed by the sea, the storm would come and enemies would be all around them not knowing which way to turn or what paths would branch off that if she saved the wolf and brought it to where it was strong again.

As the ironborn prepared for an execution knowing none of this was truly their fight and yet the ramifications were massive - the storm clouds gathering in the distance one wondered as they dressed in black, wearing their most glorious outfit, trading leather pants for an impressive and formidable dress with ruby earrings like drops of blood what would they choose? Continue the life they knew that was not the easiest course to meet the storm that came for them all? Did Derya speak to Victarion and ask him to marry them off to a land lock lord to run far away from feelings not knowing if they were throwing everything away simply not to deal with wolves or the problems currently endured or the third option. Does Derya chose Benjen? Benjen was the most unsettlingly, unsteady option. He was hurting deeply from wounds they alone could not heal and picking him meant leaving the sea for an untold amount of time without assurance of returning or that the world she would find either with his family or the northerners would bring a worse fate. Could they be his mistress, could they protect him from all harm - would it kill them or could they break way from the wounded animal once he was healed to return home? All that was fully certain was that there was more trouble headed their way and whatever Derya decided it meant meeting that storm head on.

Okeyy here it is!! I decided to put together a step by step (gif) coloring tutorial where i list the layers i use and how i've so far made them work for me.

I've been giffing for 2 years now (i'm using PS CC2019, the example pics are in finnish but icons and placements should be the same) but it's an ongoing learning process.

My coloring style is quite natural, i don't do fancy stuff often and i mostly just want the colors to look as true to real as possible but better than originally. And for this kind of style i've found the steps below working for me.

I also don't have any base psds or anything that i'd often use. I always start the coloring for each set from the scratch because, to me, it's the most fun part of giffing. I have 6 layers I use every time and then some random additional ones that i often add too. None of this is me saying what you should do, this all just me explaining what i do and hopefully this can be helpful to someone.

Ok ok time to get to the point so:

1. Curves

I always, like literally always, start with this layer

Sometimes i just drag the line upwards to brighten the gif but very often i use the eyedropper tool

Choose the white tool, pick the whitest (but not 100% white coz then it won't do anything) spot and it will make that the whitest part of the gif. It also works great at correcting the colors, sometimes you need to try multiple different spots to get the best result

The black dropper tool works the same way, only opposite, so clicking on the darkest spot you make that the blackest part of the gif

If the effect is good but a bit too much, you can lower the opacity of the layer, or the other way, so if it did well but not enough then duplicate the layer

Example: the difference between the left and right photo is 2 clicks and this, my dudes, is why i worship curves. I chose the white eyedropper tool and clicked on that light spot visible in the water, then i chose the black eyedropper and clicked on fatou’s hair and that’s it. Needs more work, but that’s a pretty allright (and easy!!) start (zoom to see better)

2. Levels

I drag the left and right sliders a bit to the center to get contrast (left ~5-20, right ~240)

The eyedroppers work on this layer pretty much the same way as in curves, but i'm more used to using them only with curves

3. Black and white gradient map

I set the blending mode to soft light and lower the opacity to ~10-30 %, this brings some depth to the colors imo

4. Vibrance

I usually add ~20-60, it really varies tho and you can just wing it most times

5. Exposure

I set the top one (exposure) to 0,1 - 0,2 and bottom one (gamma) to 0,97 - 0,90. This is an effective layer so better not do too much

6. Color balance

Owing my life to this layer

I add this layer at around this point of coloring but i drag it to be the bottom layer, since when it's under the rest of the layers it's more effective

In the midtones, i always drag the bottom slider towards blue, something as small as +2 might work, sometimes you need to go +15 or so. I might drag the middle slider slightly to the left to reduce the green tones, and the top one on either side depending on the tone of the gif

Example: this one doesn’t have any of those other 5 coloring layers i always use so it needs more work but also it shows how effective color balance is. I added more blue than normally, at least with one layer, but this one needed it imo. Love to see the green go whoosh

At this point the coloring might be done (jk it likely isn’t) but if it needs some more work then i might try one or some/all of these:

7. Photofilter

I mostly use either warm orange filter to bring some warmness to the colors or cold blue filter to correct yellow/green/red tones

8. Hue/saturation

I choose red and drag the middle slider (saturation) to -5 to -20, this helps to reduce the orange/unnatural skintones

Example:

9. Selective color

Playing around with whichever color i want to add or reduce, if i feel like the gif needs more contrast i choose neutral and/or black and drag the bottom (black) color to the right.

If sometimes the whites are too blinding, i choose white and then the bottom option (black) and drag it to the right ~10 -20.

If the skintones are too yellowish, i choose yellow and go -40 / -40 / -80 and leave the blacks at 0. If it does too much, i lower the opacity of the layer, or in case i want it to be more, i duplicate the layer

Example: (zoom and cry happy tears over the ugley yellowness being gone)

10. Gradient map

For example blue-white gradient to get to colder tones, yellow-white to brighten/soften the colors or smth like pink-blue if you want to get fancier (the options are limitless tbh)

I set these to soft light and lower the opacity, usually to less than 40%

If i want the color to strongly affect the entire gif, then i leave the blending mode to normal or choose color

11. Brightness

Adding this if some more brightness is needed (i don't use the contrast option here but go to levels instead, if needed)

_________

Tips with poc!!

Some things i've found to be helpful when wanting to bring color back to the skintone after brightening or other adjustments have taken some of it away:

a. Check the points 8 & 9

In selective coloring choosing neutral or black and then black in them and dragging it to the right helps to darken the skintone

Try choosing red or yellow and then yellows or blacks in them and dragging the slider either to the left or right, depending if you want to add or reduce the yellow/red tone

Honestly the best advice i can give with selective coloring is to just simply play around, choose a color, drag them sliders to the left 'n right and see what happens

b. Go to channel mixer and add a little bit of red (+101-105)

c. Add levels or contrast or vibrance layer

d. Choose a warm colored photo filter

e. Be careful with exposure and too much brightness

_________

Soooo yeah, these are the layers i use, sometimes you can't do everything with the same layer so for example i might add one or two more curves to get brightness, or multiple selective coloring layers or add another color balance etc.

Generally i like to do small changes with one layer and not everything all at once.

_________

As for when saving the gif for web, these are my settings. I translated the one’s that aren’t obvious but everything else i’m assuming doesn’t need translating since this view always looks the same.

I use diffusion 90% the time, but when it doesn’t look quite right i try pattern. And sometimes when the gif has been really dark originally (😩) and has needed tons of brightening layers, noise might be the best option.

At the bottom i have the quality set as “bicubic”.

_________

So that’s it! If you made it this far, thank you, ily <3 Lots of stuff i’ve learned along the way and lots of stuff to be learned. Hoping that maybe you got to learn something from my way of coloring, too. And if not, thanks for reading anyway 😌✌🏻
