I then brought the image into Photoshop and adjusted levels slightly. I used the QuickSelect tool to select that part of the image I wanted to remove. I created a new layer (Shift Command N) and filled it with white by hitting option delete. I deselected and then hid that layer. I then switched to the image layer and used the QuickSelect tool again to select the squirrel. I made sure to zoom in a great deal to clean up the selection. Next I went to Select-Refine Edge. I added some feathering to soften the edges and the selection a bit. Once it was refined, I copied the selection to a new layer (Command J) and revealed the hidden layer to get the final result.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

With TacoTime and a big yellow crosswalk sign, I thought this would be a good place to have a night shot. Cars traveling on the road also added light streams on the road. I rested my camera on my window sill to prevent shaking and to get a clear image. A 10 second exposure was a good amount of time to caure these traveling lights and soak in the light from the building and sign as well. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br />

The green light was coming from the clothes dryer, so I wanted to try something with that. I then took my computer charger and placed it on top of the dryer, to ge the tiny orange light. I set my camera to shutter priority and gave it a 10 second exposure. I moved the camera quickly to create this colorful effect. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01035474715028155378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850515993482317526.post-80456336143114986022010-11-08T20:43:00.000-08:002010-11-08T20:45:54.889-08:00Poster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_ukd1sH_U9EAaRQygBkapTlVR18-wriboFE3f-WRECvqqSTDYm7NhvTHAGJfmnjGZRpK3hpp5sR9GhY3DDa8FJdfsKU7cLPBr1Jw-EUKLaPz9KvQFXhuEOlnTfWUmS5PHER6pFWT9y7Z/s1600/FinalPosterBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_ukd1sH_U9EAaRQygBkapTlVR18-wriboFE3f-WRECvqqSTDYm7NhvTHAGJfmnjGZRpK3hpp5sR9GhY3DDa8FJdfsKU7cLPBr1Jw-EUKLaPz9KvQFXhuEOlnTfWUmS5PHER6pFWT9y7Z/s400/FinalPosterBlog.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: inherit;">1. <b>Title</b>: The Window</div><div style="font-family: inherit;">2. <b>Date, Time, Location</b>: 9.29.2010, 1:34 p.m.; Bannack, MT<br />
3. <b>Camera,</b><b> F-stop, Shutter Speed</b>: Sony DSC-HX1, Exposure Normal, f/8.0, 1/40</div><div style="font-family: inherit;">4.<b> Edits</b>: Camera Raw-slightly increased exposure, added fill light, and blacks, boosted clarity a bit and increased saturation and vibrancy. In Photoshop I added two different adjustment layers of hue/saturation to bring out certain areas where I really liked the color. I masked out parts of the photo (mainly the window) to keep them closer to the original colors. I also adjusted levels a bit to get the contrast just right. Originally the photo looked way too "sharp" and it appeared pixely. After some adjusting and even hiding one of my layers I was able to fix the problem and was even happier with the way the photograph looked. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. <b>Process</b>, <b>why you chose this image(s), and explain your photographic and editing techniques. </b>I chose this image because it is one that I will love hanging in my own apartment/house someday. I love the feel of the photograph and the different colors. I especially loved the outside look and the composition of the photo with the interesting angle. When taking the photograph, I absolutely loved this little blue room and the checkered floor that accented it. I wanted to capture that, and I was pleased with the way the edited photo turned out. To be honest the final outcome kind of just happened. I started with the basic edits like I always do and then tried different filters etc. I didn't like any of the filters that I tried, so then I began adding/playing with the saturation and colors a little bit to make them "pop" more. I have been asked several times if this is an HDR shot, and it is not. It was taken with just a single exposure, but I did love that the final outcome gave it an HDR kind of effect--only I did it all on my own:) The photo has also been mistaken for a painting, and I love that as well because that is kind of my "style" for what I will hang in my home.</span><br />

A Photolusion is a photo that creates an illusion of something it is not. The image in this blog post is an example of a photolusion blend, which is when two or more images are blended together in Photoshop to create an illusion. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I took these two images on different days, and had completely different things in mind when I took them. However, when I heard about the Photolusion, these two images came to mind and I wanted to blend them together. I opened both images in Photoshop and made minimal adjustments to saturation to bring out some of the coloring. I then used the quick selection tool to select the girl out of the photo. I took that image and placed it as a new layer in the leaf image. Using the eraser tool and also the paintbrush I helped to smooth some of the edges to make the blend look more realistic and erase hard edges. Through all of these steps I feel I was able to make a successful Photolusion. <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I used a clipping mask to move my photos onto the template and was happy with the way it worked out. I did this by making sure I used the large, original sized image. I then clicked on the photo layer, placing it directly above the layer I wanted to clip it into. I dragged the image over the photo box and sized my image the way I wanted by dragging the corner and holding shift. Then in the Layers palette I right clicked and chose Create Clipping Mask. I moved the images around to position them just right. Throughout the rest of the template, I changed the color of one of the boxes, because I felt the colors fit nicely. I also added text on the right hand side to say "It's the little moments that make life big." I reduced the opacity on the text to make it less noticeable--I want it to be something that you just happen upon, rather than it jumping off the page at you.</span></span></div>mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01035474715028155378noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850515993482317526.post-4243002072201766392010-10-26T00:35:00.000-07:002010-10-26T00:37:18.552-07:00Edge Effects<b>Double Fade Border</b><br />

I added blacks and contrast to make the colors pop more. I then took it into Photoshop and cropped it to be 9x7 inches. I went to Image-Canvas size and added one inch to both the height and width to end up with an 8x10 size. I then drew a rectangle on the image using the shape layer rectangular tool and added a layer mask to the shape layer. I chose the Fill Pixels option of the rectangle tool and drew a black rectangle to mask the other rectangle and bring back the image. I reduced opacity of that layer to 61% and then added a motion filter to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For this edit I opened the image in Camera Raw and increased contrast and clarity to give it a nice, crisp feel. I loved the effect it gave and how it made the cobweb and old texture of the door stand out. I also decreased exposure and saturation. Then I took the image into Photoshop and did a Command A to select all. I loaded the History Brush tool and used the Thick and Heavy Brushes to paint the image back and give it the nice feel that it has. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the brushes, but I loved them after I got used to it. After creating the edges that I wanted, I added some canvas space to increase the border on the outer edges and give it a frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">For this image I brought it into Photoshop and used the rectangle Marquee tool to drag a rectangle about an inch from the edges of the picture. I then applied the Quick Mask Mode and added a Sprayed Stroke filter to give the edges the effect that they have. I increased the length and radius to the maximum sizes to make the effect more dramatic. Finally, I added a border by increasing the canvas size and added text to the image. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01035474715028155378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850515993482317526.post-46820592210763823562010-10-25T16:52:00.000-07:002010-10-25T17:11:11.750-07:00Scanography<b>One Scan:</b><br />
For this project I gathered Halloween items and arranged them on a Lexmark scanner. It took me several tries to get the items in an order that I liked them. I was amazed at how challenging it was to place things where I wanted them, but overall I was pleased with the final product. This scan has no edits.<br />

I then opened each of the individual photos in Camera Raw and adjusted exposure and added contrast to brighten the images. I took them from Camera Raw into Photoshop and drug the layers on top of one another to create one image. I placed the different produce images in the areas I felt they best fit and used the erase tool to show the images in the layers beneath. I then merged the layers and added an adjustment layer to increase the saturation a bit more of the overall image. I used a combination of the spot healing tool and the paintbrush tool to soften some of the harsh "glares" created from the scanner light and also to match the black background color throughout the entire image. I thought the final product turned out nicely. And who know you could do these sort of things with a scanner?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

When I loaded the image onto my computer I noticed the coloring was out of balance. I also took this photo of Phil in the same location and loved the coloring in the photo. So I used the Match Color feature in Photoshop to combine the two and create this final image. It captured the great colors and light of the second image and added them to the original, and I was pleased with the outcome. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>This shot was taken during our Bannack trip. I loved the angle on the photo, but knew that it needed some extra boosts to help make it pop. I opened the image in Camera Raw and adjusted the exposure down a bit and made some adjustments to the shadows and highlights. I also added some clarity to the image to make it crisper, and I love the detail that it brought out in the wood. I finished by opening it in photoshop and adding a vignette. I think the final outcome turned out much better than the original image.mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01035474715028155378noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850515993482317526.post-39533737033702890312010-10-11T21:47:00.000-07:002010-10-12T10:07:51.168-07:00Panoramic<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTrpzkEEerONEkQW0PkaVipfzZeOYlCvzmevWE0XxbqYKyZCT_9TTX1aXL5SgM9V0idLkhfnPFkHSqOdPdN5sSjNH8C9s-tw0zzWWGpw8xO2745dwFeNTVTzOLGnmRbJxsjlOFMMZ93KlC/s1600/Pano1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTrpzkEEerONEkQW0PkaVipfzZeOYlCvzmevWE0XxbqYKyZCT_9TTX1aXL5SgM9V0idLkhfnPFkHSqOdPdN5sSjNH8C9s-tw0zzWWGpw8xO2745dwFeNTVTzOLGnmRbJxsjlOFMMZ93KlC/s320/Pano1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRRvsP5T6XWzBeYBjjTsIbnBjMiZRFDuwq_BvYeFpLw7lBeDnMmarM8eCUpQCgbaoeS6PU2phsT6zrVPzi3rk8TXaU1J_M2bl3U3Rk77KUcnub3eKa0coA_PnYZDGqkUt4QZMdgLlk5ao/s1600/pano4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRRvsP5T6XWzBeYBjjTsIbnBjMiZRFDuwq_BvYeFpLw7lBeDnMmarM8eCUpQCgbaoeS6PU2phsT6zrVPzi3rk8TXaU1J_M2bl3U3Rk77KUcnub3eKa0coA_PnYZDGqkUt4QZMdgLlk5ao/s320/pano4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSfMQKMAsPgA0JyTWM81cHBJ2Ui24436Hlr5HSF86kOl0-kwzO3cUEGRmOYTn1igMlj9rZcmUrFRi3vhshIlI5YpDpRMInueFZjbvSNM56BidlrwWHsQG0rp8AORi5R9v5WDEuLMBQjtx/s1600/pano3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSfMQKMAsPgA0JyTWM81cHBJ2Ui24436Hlr5HSF86kOl0-kwzO3cUEGRmOYTn1igMlj9rZcmUrFRi3vhshIlI5YpDpRMInueFZjbvSNM56BidlrwWHsQG0rp8AORi5R9v5WDEuLMBQjtx/s320/pano3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

The camera was handheld for all four shots. I blended the images into a nice panoramic by using the Photomerge options in Photoshop adn then cropped the image to emphasize the parts of the selection I wanted. Finally I added two adjustment layers to tweak the saturation and vibrance of the photo, with a vignette as the finishing touch. I was pleased with the way it turned out! <br />

I opened the photo in Dynamic Photo and just started adjusting different things. I loved the way it turned out. The Yellow Room shots were taken in the hotel at Bannack with three different exposures. I love the effect that HDR gives and the vibrant feel that it gives photos. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I took two shots of the exact same scene with reverse focus points. I used Aperture Priority to select a small f/stop number so there would be a shallow depth of field. I first pointed the center of the frame on the rocks in the background and held the shutter halfway. Then I re-framed the shot and finished pressing the shutter. I did the same for the second shot, only first focused on the brick directly in front of the camera and then re-framed the shot. I adjusted saturation slightly in both photos and burned the borders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I used shutter priority and set the shutter speed to a 5 second exposure. I added a multiplying layer to darken the photo even more and then masked out the "ghost" to show her going back into hiding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took both of these portraits at Bannack in the saloon. There was excellent lighting shining through the front doors and reflecting on the bar that the models were positioned by. I did a few minor adjustments to saturation in both photos to bring out the great colors. The wood background made for a nice textured backdrop and I couldn't get over how breathtaking the lighting was. A vignette was added to both photos as a finishing touch. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I adjusted levels and saturation for this shot and also added a vignette to make a nice looking border. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xjmmX0RgSiKyCrsiQikUfc0iOMBib25u_eG1VLgRO3NYqFec4ko-zWdvUMJDVFJRPt2L-SsZgHdectNZFYNlldrLRc0uTkSvIsbpdDdjDNs1-2yYqwPolHrbhqK_lbsZVquwGLNm7xXk/s1600/cattails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xjmmX0RgSiKyCrsiQikUfc0iOMBib25u_eG1VLgRO3NYqFec4ko-zWdvUMJDVFJRPt2L-SsZgHdectNZFYNlldrLRc0uTkSvIsbpdDdjDNs1-2yYqwPolHrbhqK_lbsZVquwGLNm7xXk/s400/cattails.jpg" width="300" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Cattails; 9/25/10; 3:12 p.m.; Nature Park-Rexburg; ID; f/8.0; 1/320; Canon PowerShot XS120 IS</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I went to the Nature Park and loved the beautiful scenery from this place.

I loved watching this goose swim around and captured this shot at the exact moment I wanted to. Its feet were just above the surface and I loved the way the reflection looked against the rippling water. I adjusted levels and saturation for this shot and also added a cooling adjustment layer to get the cooler temperature feel to the water. There were a few white specks floating in the water that I wanted to get rid of as well, so I used a spot healing brush to do this. I burned the edges and used a simple stroke to create the white outline effect. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I used Overlay to blend the two layers together and cropped the background image down and rotated it horizontally to fit the feel of the photo better. The clone stamp was used to recreate a section of the blue texture for consistency. Text was added using tutorial 16 and the opacity was reduced to 72%.

I couldn't decide on just one color, so I chose about 3 different colors and went to town! Blue is the one I finally decided on, and I had such a fun time finding subjects to photograph. It was a definite learning experience for me to stop and think about depth of field and use Aperture Priority, but I really enjoyed it. I also made an effort to capture a variety of subjects and photo types. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Each of these photos were taken as my family and I were waiting to be seated at a cute, little Italian restaurant. I was amazed that once I started looking for the color it jumped out everywhere at me. My family even got into the project as well and spotted some really fun things for me to photograph :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In all of the pictures above the only editing that was done was color enhancement through iPhoto and Gaussian blur in the bottom photo. I am anxious to learn new skills and am so excited to enhance my own photos and create new masterpieces. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
