Notes on the Photographs

All photos were taken with a Nikon Coolpix S9100 and edited in iPhoto. I used the enhance feature for each photograph. I normally don’t like the results with this feature, and normally click on it and undo it, but for this project I thought the feature actually did make a positive difference in my images. I then spent further time which each specific photograph changing different elements until I was satisfied with the results. I will detail the exact changes photograph by photograph. All of the levels start at zero (except for saturation, whose default is 50), so if I do not mention a particular element it was because it remained unchanged for that photograph.
