24 X 36 poster project

1. Bannack Merry-Go-Round 24X36

2.) 5/25/2011 - 6:00 pm - Bannack, Montana

3.) Canon PowerShot SX130 IS, Manual, f/8, 1/15 sec

4.) I increased the saturation except I made parts of his face and hands normal. I made the background black and white. I also added a little blur and painting under his eyes and around his mouth because he had been crying. I tried to decrease the brightness and add contrast around his head so it was not to blown out. I also added a vignette around it to draw the focus in. 

5.) I loved taking this photo. I had the idea from my sister when she took photos of me on the t-cups at Universal Studios a couple years ago. We were both on it and across from each other as it was moving. I used the same idea for this photo. I took a whole bunch of a few different people but I liked this one the best because it was the little boy in a rare moment when he actually looked right at the camera. The shot makes it look like we were spinning fast but it really did not take much movement to get that affect.

Blurred Lights; Rexburg, ID; June 12, 2011 10:53 pm; f/8; 8 sec; Canon PowerShot SX130; I used a little bit of spot healing on this shot for a couple of blurred spots.

Light Painting; Rexburg, ID; June 13, 2011 12:19 am; f/4; 13.0 sec; Canon PowerShot SX130; I used a masking affect for the brightness and contrast, as well as the paint brush tool so that the bear would be more visible.

Blog 7: Edge Effects

Flexible Vignette; Draper, Utah; June 4, 2011 12:37 pm; f/4.5; 1/400 sec; Canon PowerShot SX130 IS
As well as using the Flexible Vignette border tutorial for this photo, I used the multiply layer mode to make it slightly darker and I also used the burned color layer mode to make the clue stand out a little bit more.

Burned Border Edge Effect; Draper, Utah; June 4, 2011 12:41 pm; f/4.5; 1/1600 sec; Canon PowerShot SX130 IS
As well as using the tutorial for the Burned Border Edge Effect, I also changed the lightness of the photo so you could see the subjects better since the original shot was in shadow.

Brushed-on Effect; Draper, Utah; June 4, 2011 1:09 pm; f/8; 1/80 sec; Canon PowerShot SX180 IS
I used the Brushed-on Effect tutorial for this shot and used the eyedropper tool to match the color of his vest with the border by adding a layer below that had a larger canvas size.

Scanography:

For my one scan shot, first I had the idea of just scanning all of my necklaces into one image. Even though I liked it,  I then thought that maybe it would look cooler if I actually did something with the necklaces to make a design. So, I used to of my necklaces to spell out my name. I was careful to not disturb the spelling when I placed the black pillow case on top but I did not fold it, which is why it cam out looking grey. The only editing I had to do was rotate and flip the image so my name was spelled in the right direction. I also cropped the image. 

For my collage scanography, I decided to use the yellow accessories that I was given as a bridesmaid for my best friends wedding. I scanned the flowers and the shoes separately and used photoshop to bring in each flower on separate layers on top of the shoes. To do this, I just used the quick selection tool and dragged the flower on top of the image of the shoes.
