SCANography!!

This scan is just my hand in one scan, but because the light moves slowly, I was able to move with it so it looks like I have really long fingers.

This was one of my first scans. I just thought it was a funny picture so I decided to put a filter on it before I made the border. I used a watercolor filter to make it look like I am underwater and then made a stroke for the border and created shapes to put in the opposite corners at different opacities. I think it turned out to be a funny picture.

Photollusion Straight

Photollusion Blend

These photos were so fun to do! I loved it! The first I got a little help with my roommates. It is just hilarious. Then the second photo I had my friends help me and pose for me. I just used the quick selection tool to take the hand and my friend out of their photos and into the photo with the cereal. I really like how they turned out.

I took this photo when I was taking photos for my other photography class. I wasn't even planning on using it in this class but I just really liked the shot. My friends and I went back past the temple on a drive by all of the potato cellars and I was just taking pictures while we were driving and this was one of them. I changed the tone of the picture to a warmer tone in photoshop.

Border Effects

Kayla :)

Dunes

The first picture is of my friend Kayla. I took the picture in black and white. I added the border with the marque tool. I selected the rectangle that I wanted on the inside and then selected the inverse and then painted over it with the paint brush of an opacity of about 50 in black. The second picture I took at the sand dunes. I had time while we were waiting to get the car out. When we parked we got stuck so we were all just standing around and switching off pushing the car. It was funny, but I got this shot of the sky and it was really pretty.

Light Effects

Cell Phone Blur
Heart

Creeeeeeepy Kayla

I had my friends Garrick and Kayla come help me make these pretty fun light effects. They were great sports. It is fun to capture the light. One reason that I loved this was because you never know what it is going to turn out to be until you look at the photo. all you can see is black, then it shows up on the screen. It was really fun!

Photobook Template

I took the first one and changed it a bit in photoshop. I couldn't start from scratch. It was easier to change rather than invent. I think the reason that is, is because I don't know how to do everything that I want to do with this just yet. But I like how this one turned out.

Environment and Group Portraits

The first two shots I took this morning of my cousin. She is a dance major here at BYUI and she has dance classes 24/7 so this is really her environment. I changed these shots to black and white because it brought a lot more to the shot. I really like how they turned out. The third shot is of my brother. It is a group and an environment photo. He is on the high school base ball team and because I was home I could take this shot. I really liked how it turned out. It definitely was a candid shot. I just played around with the levels and vibrance of this photo for the editing.

Portraits

In this picture I airbrushed her skin for my tutorial so I used it as an enhanced edited portrait for this week also.

In this photo I also did some enhancements. I made her Eyes a lot more blue with the saturation and then i used the paint brush to take it away from the parts of the photo that I didn't want it to be on.

This was my color edit. I actually learned how to do this right before I found out that we were supposed to do this for the assignment. For once I felt a little ahead of the game. I really like doing this now that I know how.

I did some portraits of my roommates and most of the editing was with the levels, curves, and saturation. I also added burnt edges to each one of these portraits.

HDR

I must have done something wrong in this process. I couldn't figure out how to save the three shot photo. I am still trying but I got the single shot HDR saved. I think that I just want to buy the program because I really like what it can do.

Macro/Photo Blend

I think blending is my favorite thing to do in photoshop. I am so glad that we learned how to use adjustment tools and all of the blending options. It is so crazy all of the things that you can do. I did the same thing that I do with all of my photos that I did on these two shots. I changed the brightness with the levels and curves tools. Then I burnt the edges. I also added a solid color blend to one of these shots and used the paintbrush tool also.

Reverse Shallow Depth

Haunted House

No Trespassing

I really liked this stop. I wish that there wasn't a no trespassing sign on the fence because I really wanted to get a closer look at this building. It looked so fun. But I liked these two shots and how they turned out. The only editing that I did was with the levels and curves and a little burning.

Action Freeze/BlurAction Freeze #1
Classic Jumping Picture

Action Freeze #2
Action Blur/GHOST

The first two shots are classic Freeze shots. But the third is one that I had never done before. I really liked trying this out. It took a long time for me to figure out how to get the right shot with my camera. But I like this shot a lot. I darkened the picture with curves and levels and then I burnt the edges of the photo also.

PortraitsJamie Stairs

Jamie

For the first picture I dodged Jamie to make her lighter, played around with the levels and curves, and burnt the edges. The second picture I changed the levels and curves as well. Then I changed it to black and white and used the paint brush tool to make her in color.

Camera Raw

With this photo I played around with the brightness first. Then I darkened the blacks and changed the Vibrance and Saturation. I really enjoyed trying the camera raw and can't wait to keep using it in the future.

Panoramic

Multiple Chelseas

Close Panoramic

I absolutely loved doing these panoramic pictures! It is amazing that the computer can put together pictures and pixels like puzzle pieces. It was crazy! Anyways, for the first picture I changed the levels and curves as well as brightness and contrast. Then I used a solid color adjustment layer and blended brown around then edge, then burnt the edges also. The second panoramic shot is of my roommate. She ran and did all of these poses and I just took all of the different pictures into photomerge. I had to blend in two of her because the pictures didn't match and weren't added into the photo. Then I played with the curves, levels, and saturation. The third Picture is just the same shot as the first one, but the photos were taken a little closer up. I played with the curves and levels as well as the brightness and contrast. On the bottom right hand photo, there was not enough photo so I took part of the ground from another photo and added it in another layer and blended it into the photo. Then I colorized the photo and made it brown. Then I also burnt the edges on this photo as well. I know that I am in the photo, but I really did take these. I took all of the photos, then I stopped at the spot where I was supposed to stand, then I handed the photo to someone and she took the shot of me. So that is how I am in the shot.

The first picture of the reception dance, I changed the brightness on an adjustment level and used the paintbrush to only make them bright. Then I used another black and white adjustment layer and used the paintbrush tool to put the color back onto them to make them even more of a focus. On the next photo of my cousin and I, I added two adjustment layers of solid color and played around with the opacity and paintbrush tools. The paintbrush made it so that I could have the too colors blend together. I love using the adjustment layers so you can make them disappear or come back whenever you like. It is my new favorite thing! It is a great thing to know before you learn how to use all of photoshop.

Romney Fish :)

Romney Tree

Parrot
Logan Temple

The first photo of the fish, I just put a satin layer on it and used the paintbrush tool. I think the paintbrush tool is my favorite tool because I use it in every single one of these photos I think. In the second photo I didn't really edit it that much. I liked how the tree looked. The only thing I really did was play around with the brightness and contrast. The photo of the parrot was fun. I just took a picture of it at the benson but how I edited was I added a layer of green and another layer of black and white and played around with the paint brush to get the effect that I did. The logan temple picture was also fun. The sky was really grey while we were waiting for my cousin, who was getting married, on saturday when I took this photo. I added a blue layer and used the paint brush to take it away to make the sky look blue but realistic also. I also did the same with a layer of red to make the tulips a little brighter.

Blend and Text!

2010-05-04T00:54:00.000-07:00

I had a ton of fun playing around with this weeks assignment. Like I said in my last post, my brother went to prom this weekend so I had a ton of pictures from this saturday that I just took. So I decided to play around with them. I took the photos and blended them by making masks on the two profile pictures. Then I put a peachy pink color over top of the whole blended photo. The piano and flute are both instruments that I play so I decided to photograph and blend them together. I blended these three photos and with the piano music I did an overlay on top of the other two. I really like the outcome that I had in these photos. I can't wait to experiment more in the future!

Color Study!

2010-05-04T00:37:00.000-07:00

When I first started I was going to take photos of the color pink. I had lots of ideas on what to take pictures of for the color pink. But then I went home for the weekend and my brother was going to prom. His tux was white and there was a tree full of white blossoms and I kept finding white. I know that white technically isn't a color. But it just kept popping out at me so I decided to photograph with that as my main color.

Photo Cuts

Total Cut
On this photo I changed the brightness and contrast levels.
Partial Cut
On this photo I played around with the color. I made the color brighter than the original. I also changed the brightness and contrast levels.

I haven't really had any experience cutting on Photoshop, but I really liked doing this. The times that I have tried to get the same affect I would use the magic eraser. But I just have to learn more which is why I am excited for this class because it will help me learn some skills on photoshop. I really like this assignment.

Obviously from these pictures you can see that I haven't really had a lot of experience in photography. I wanted to take this class for that reason. I want to learn how to take better pictures than just the average snap shot. I am really excited to take this class.
