Hello Everyone, first off, the first photo is the original but in the upper left hand corner I added a filter to the original known as supernova and chose the option to save intead of save as so it replaced my original also with the first set of photos I added a filter known as a gamma affect plus the supernova which I think gives it a pretty neat little extra and would make people think the sun must have been out. The second set of photos I incorporated a cartoon and a lens flare filter to the photo and I do believe it came out pretty neat looking.

Week 9 Dodge and Burn

After

Before

Hi Everyone I used the Microsoft paint program to to creat this shape then opened it in gimp basically using the burn method to shade the thin black lines which in a way makes some depth to the photo, I then proceeded with the dodge option using different size brushes and so forth I was able to lighten the the thick blue giving it a faded affect.

Week 8 Light and Color adjustments

AFTER

BEFORE

Hello everyone for these two photos I used a variety of methods using photoshop with no single intent for the outcome of them at all. The methods I used consisted of Cranking the saturation completely up after that I went on to do the same with the fill light, high light and sharpen options I then continued to fully pop the color and eneded with moving the hue up just one notch. I believe by using these methods It gave the ocean a brilliant blueish purpleish tint to it and it also affected the sky brilliantly ultimaetly making the sky mesh with the ocean in a way never seen before.

I actually took on these photos with an intention, that intention being to try and make the letters of my hat the beer bottles and my buddies hoodie really stand out, how I did this was by first using the auto correct feature and moving it forward one notch followed by adjusting the white balance up by two places then moving on to the Highlight, sharpen and soft focus options and moving them all to their Highest value I then continued to do the same with the hue and moved the tint up by four values and for the finishing touch which I think made the most dramatic change to the photo is I turned it into a sketch which really outlined the letters in the photo.

While using photoshop this week it really brought me back to being a kid using the old televisions with the huge dials that went click click click everytime you turnded the know. :)

week 7 photoshop

Hello everyone this program has caused me to lose some hair. If it was not the complete feeling of being new, vulnerable, and lost within this software it was frustration that I couldnt get anything to work the way I wanted. I used the three tools that were asked of me to use (crop, move and selection) (marquee, lasso and magic wand)It was a difficult process learning how to use the layers option especially when I have never done it before but with trial and error I think I have done what the assignment calls for. I used the selections tool to crop my truck then set it as a layer and sent it to my snowmobile photoe using all the tools asked of me.

Week 6 landscape shoot

Hello everyone and welcome to my photos for the week. I am extremely happy alot of you enjoyed my freezer photo last week but this week we were asked to do a different kind of shoot, all of these photos were taken from making multiple stops on the interstate. I figured most of my time is spent on the interstates so if I am going to get this assignment done it is going to have to be worked into my work schedule. I must say I do belive they came out pretty nicely you can even see the interstate in a few of the photos which I believe made for good picture taking, by good picture taking I mean I feel as though the man made contour of the interstate fit in nicely with the natural contour of the fields and mountains. Together bringing an overall nice contrast to the photos well I hope to see everyones photos soon and comment on a few of them hope you enjoyed mine as well. :)
