Portraits!

1. Post Card: 10-24-09, 4:15 pm; Rexburg, Idaho; f/4.0, 1/75s; FujiFilm finepix S1000

2. Laying Down: 10-24-09, 2:20 pm; My apt, Rexburg, Idaho; f/4.0, 1/60s; FujiFilm finepix S1000;

3. Sideways couple: 10-24-09, 4:40 pm; Rexburg, Idaho; f/4.0, 1/70s; FujiFilm finepix S1000;

1. This is my favorite. For this picture I sharpened it and then put a burned edge around it. Also, I this time I was in the lab and the tutor showed me how to do the actions and I used actions for editing all of my pictures. Actions in Photoshop make things so much easier and there are some really cool actions!

2. I took this picture after reading the first liked website on the Ilearn page and it had ten tips to take better portraits. It had some great ideas and I tried to do them and I thought that this picture/ esspecially the lighting, came out amazing. I didn't do any edits to this picture.

3. This is another of my sister and her boyfriend and I actually rotated the image. Then I warmed the colors with an action and put a burned edge on it.

Picture Edits

1. Park Bench: 10-17-09, 11:25 pm; The Gardens on campus, Idaho; f/2.7, 20s; Sony DSC-H7

2. Gardens invite: 10-17-09, 11:15 pm; Rexburg, Idaho; f/4.0, 3s; Sony DSC-H7

These were both taken with a stand.

1. This one was a lot easier than it looks. You put a new white layer over the picture and then add a mask to that layer and change the opacity as you layer squares over the original image.

2. For this one I followed the tutorial in the book. I also adjusted the brightness.

Lights at Night

1. Secret Garden: 10-17-09, 11:10 pm; The Gardens on campus, Idaho; f/2.7, 5s; Sony DSC-H7

2. Pro macbook: 10-17-09, 12:35 pm; Rexburg, Idaho; f/4.0, 5s; Sony DSC-H7

3. Stadium: 10-17-09, 11:45 pm; Rexburg, Idaho; f/7.1, 3s; Sony DSC-H7

4. Night Moto: 10-17-09, 10:40; Rexburg, Idaho; f/2.7, 30s; Sony DSC-H7

All these pictures where taken with a tripod and on setting ISO80

1. This is my favorite. To me it doesn't even look like this picture was taken in the gardens. I adjusted the Hue and Saturation and raised the brightness and contrast just a little.

2. I took this in my room with all the lights off. All I did was sharpen the image.

3. This picture is interesting to me. I can't figure out how the field is in such good focus, yet I was able to streak the lights like I did... It was on a stand and I moved the arm to have the camera look down before the shudder closed. I didn't do any photoshop to this one.

4. This was a sweet bike on campus. I adjusted the balance and also the hue and saturation.

For some reason it wouldn't let me post more than 5 images on blogspot so I had to split my posts up...

1. Sewing Machine: 10-7-09, 5:15 pm; Bannack, Montana; f/2.7, 1/30s; Sony DSC-H7

2. Ghost Home: 10-7-09, 5:35 pm; Bannack, Montana; f/5.6, 1/320s; Sony DSC-H7

3. Gravestone: 10-7-09, 6:15 pm; Bannack, Montana; f/2.7, 1/50s; Sony DS

1. The sewing machine: for this one I did the photofinishing to sharpen the image, blur the edge, and then I changed the sat and hue a little bit.

2. The House: I also did the photo finishing tutorial on this one as well and in addition I put a dark border around the edge.

3. Tombstone: this was my photo that we took during the few minute competition in the graveyard. I didn't make any changes to it.

1. Ghost Photo: I probably didn't need to do any changes to this photo, but I did the photo finishing technique again from #30 in the book.

2. I didn't need to do much to this picture cause Cindy is just so pretty!

3. A bunch of people were taking pictures of Anica's pretty smile so I thought this was fun to get the back of another camera. I added a little blur to the background and sharped the foreground so you could see the camera's display better.
