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.

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.
