Cloneing

I thought this tool was really pretty cool. I tried using the cloneing tool a couple different ways by putting the butterfly here and there. I found that i liked it better all over the picture better. It just looks like something cool to look at even though, without the original next to it, you can't tell it's a butterfly.

Dodge and Burn

I had fun taking this photo at the top of Burke Mountain. i wanted the middle of the tower to stick out so I dodge and burned the photo. Dodged down the middle to brighten the tower and then I burned up the sides to darken the photo. This tool is really great!

All in one photo

I had alot of fun with this picture! I filtered it, layered it and dodge and burned it. I cut the face of my older son out and set it on top of my youngest in the bath tub. I set the filter on my youngest to texturizer while I set my oldest to grain. Filters are really pretty cool. I dodge and burned around my youngest son's hair and my oldest sons face.

 

Fun with colors

I had a lot of fun on CS4 with this project. I set the hue the first time to -17, saturation to -53 and lightness to -5. I then went to color levels and set the midtones to +8, -31 and +41, shadows were set at -32,+37 and -58 and the highlights where set at -33,-37 and -8. I then went back to hue and set it at +38, saturation set at +38 and the lightness at +10. I then saved it and posted it here! It's so amazing what you can do with your photo's!!

Fun with lighting

I had alot of fun with CS4!! First I changed around the hue and set it at -17, saturation set at -53 and lightness set at -5. I then went into color levels. I changed the cyan/red to +8, mag/green to -31 and yellow/blue to +41 for midtones. I changed

Color and Light

I had alot of fun with this already cute picture of the most adorable baby ever (can you tell I'm his mom!!). I spent alot of time messing around with increasing RBG and cyan and I added alot of green, yellow and red. My point of the picture is the eyes and innocents. Youthful pink lips and cute little baby teeth. I really just see this picture as a way to show a baby's freshness and vulnerability. I love this picture!

I really liked this project in CS4! It was so much fun to do. I love to get creative on my own and this program really lets me. I love this ski photo of my morning sunrise at my house. I love this picture so much that I decided to add myself to it to represent what I love so much.

This photo was cropped and the color saturation was changed. I also had fun playing with the RGB and the yellow. I added and decreased some colors. After a good picture, these tend to be the first things I change along with contrast and textures. i really like photo's that just pop out when you look at them. Crystal clear, bright and beautiful.

CS4

I really love my flower picture. I think it really shows through just how beautiful mother nature is and what it has created for us to enjoy in our daily lives. I really changed around with the color a bit and deffinately croped it to help bring out just the flower and it's beauty alone.

Landscapes

 


Landscape photography is my favorite to take pictures of. Landscapes shows the real and true beauty of mother nature. When you spend every day looking at the same thing, you tend to forget how simple it is but also how magnificent it is to look at. Something made this beautiful to look at with the naked eye but beautiful enough to take photo's that will last a lifetime. I hope you enjoy it.
The land around us is amazing and should be charished and used as art, wither it be a painting, photo or something else but we shoud all utalize what nature has to offer. Animals, tree's, water, green rolling hills and rocky mountians.

Rule of Thirds

 

This picture was taken using the rule of thirds. I love this one alot because it's position on the picture just captures me a lot more. I find that pictures that are in the middle of the picture can come out looking really nice but I also love pictures that allows more to be in the background. Sometimes this can bring out the foreground and make it more appealing.

Rule of thirds

 

I really don't like this one. It just doesn't do much for appeal. I tend to like looking at pictures that have more of a background. I really prefer the second one.
