I looked at what other people thought Secret ment. I looked on deviantART (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=secret). This is what came up:
The secret of hiding behind a mask.
Keeping a secret.
Secret garden.
Secret door.
This gave me a great idea.
I was thinking about taking a picture of a key hole and key about to unlock it. Like an old style key.
Another idea I had was to find a draw or chest and photograph it in a way that gave it mystery.
I took this at the sweet shop, it was a beautiful chest of draws and I knew that it would look amazing as a black and white photo for somewhere secret.
This is it with colour. I like it because it has a silvery glow to it, but I really like it better in black and white. I think it brings out all the detail in the draw and handle.
Here is what I did in photoshop:
The first thing I did was turn the 'Lightness' down by a bit just to give it a little more shading.
Then I moved the 'Density' up to create this orange glow. It kind of looks like the 'Sepia' effect.
Next I moved the 'Contrast' up to bring the black of the handle out more and then the 'Brightness' just to lighten the markings on the draw.
Then I flatten the layers so that I could draw on the picture.
I really like this picture and this might even be the final image but I just wanted to see what I could do with the paint brush.
I then used the 'Star 55 pixels' brush on 288 size to draw these lines coming out of the draw. I went over it three times just to layer the different colours and to make the lines stand out more.
I then tried adding tiny stars to see how that looked. I used white and yellow.
I decided that it looked better without the stars so I then used the 'Smudge' tool to make the edges of the lines not as rough.
I had to zoom into the picture to really make sure I smudged the lines and nothing else.
And this is what I was left with.
Here are my keyhole pictures:
I think this is my favourite. I like the way the key is in focus and there is just this keyhole in the background.
Then I tried pictures of the key going into the keyhole.
Now here is what I did to this picture in photoshop:
I think I am going to choose the chest of draws picture with the magic lines coming out of it because I just love the way it turned out and I think that it really says 'Somewhere Secret'.
