Comtemperary Color

This is my project of the contemporary color, the subject of a sky shot from the perspective of a gas station, I've taken all the picture. In this project, I use more of contemporary color to create nice color balance in photoshop. So when I takes the photo of this sky, the sky had a good color range and it made the photo look good in composition too, so I purposely leave the color of the sky in the original photo and I rather play around with the bottom half of the photo.

In photoshop, at first I tried to use color range to selective the darker color in the bottom, then I realized its is not effective because I would select clouds too, So I instead of doing that, I used the magic pen tool. So After I selected the whole thing at the bottom, everything expect sky are being selected and I find out the contemporary color using Adobe Color theme. Then I copied an layer of original image, and I do command U on the copied layer, and I put a mask on it, to change out the color into contemporary ones at the bottom, it doesn't shown through because the bottom half of the image is kinda dark already, but it still made a good change.

Something I learned in this project is how to use photo to adjustment the color to make the color contemporary and create a good picture, because the original color was a great base for me to blend more colors in, after I play around in the photoshop, everything seem to work fine.
