Panoramic Photo 

Clouds: 06-09-09; 5pm;Rexburg Idaho f 4.2; 1/80; Sony

This week was so rainy!  I thought these clouds were so great

It looked like they were so full of rain ready to burst.

Window rain: 06-06-09; 6pm; Rexburg Idaho f 3.1; 1/80; Sony

This is a typical view on a rainy day.

Temple: 06-08-09; 7am; Rexburg Idaho f 2.1; 1/60; Sony

I love the temple especially in the early morning.

This is another shot of what my week looked like.

Run: 06-05-09; 1pm; Rexburg Idaho f 3.0; 1/50; Sony

I love to run.  Especially on beautiful sunny days like this one was.

Rain, rain and more rain, however it is making everything so green!

Fire: 06-08-09; 8pm; Rexburg Idaho f 2.2; 1/40; Sony

I had a bonfire this week.  The fire was huge!

This is my week in photos.  

Stringam Family:  5-20-09; 12:20pm -  Rexburg Idaho;  f 6.3; 1/60; Sony

On this picture I added a blur to the background as well as some enhancement effects to touch up the subjects.

Stringam Family:  5-20-09; 12:25pm -  Rexburg Idaho;  f 6.3; 1/50; Sony

On this photo I touched up the subjects and added a soft filter.

Brinley:  6-01-09; 4:25pm -  Rexburg Idaho;  f 6.3; 1/50; Sony

This was just a cute picture 

Candle: 05-25-09; 10pm; Rexburg Idaho; f 8; 1/15; Sony 

This picture I took in a dark room of a small candle.  I wanted to get a blurred effect so I moved the camera in a circular motion.  I also added a double faded border.

Glow Stick: 05-25-09; 10pm; Rexburg Idaho; f 8; 1/12; Sony 

This photo is of different glow sticks that I took at night.  I moved them around and came up with this.  I also added a burned border on the photo.

 Wood Cart: 05-19-09; 3pm; Banack Montana; f 1.8; 1/100;  Sony 20D; AV

On this photo I touched it up just a little and added more contrast.

Can: 05-19-09; 3pm; Banack Montana; f 2.0; 1/200;  Sony 20D; AV

This photo I added a texture from old rocks to make the grunge effect 

Old Wood: 05-19-09; 3pm;Banack Montana; f 2.6; 1/200;  Sony 20D; AV

This is one of the many old buildings at Bannack.  I like this one because of how the aperture setting made it focus in on the wood piece so well and blurred the background. 

Door: 05-19-09; 3pm; Banack Montana; f 1.0; 1/100;  Sony 20D; AV

This photo I added a texture from a rusted can to make the grunge effect.  I really liked the lighting on this pictures and the colors in the door. 

Door knob: 05-19-09; 4pm; Banack Montana; f 2.3; 1/200;  Sony 22D; AV

I Liked the angel that I got on this picture. It was just a good door to take a picture of.

Door: 05-19-09; 3pm; Banack Montana; f 1.0; 1/100;  Sony 20D; AV

This is the same door from above without the grunge effect.

Door: 05-19-09; 3pm; Banack Montana; f 1.0; 1/2000;  Sony 20D; AV

This was my best ghost shot done with a really slow shutter speed.  I thought it was cool how it had the light coming in through the cracks like going back in time effect.

 

Yellow flower: 05-09-09; 1pm; Rexburg;Sony 
                         Original

On this picture I used an adjustment layer and
a mask. I used accented edges for a brush stroke
and worked with contrast, and vibrance for the
adjustment layers. There are so many things
you can do in photoshop!


Yellow Flowers: 05-09-09; 2pm; Rexburg; Sony

                           Original 

On this picture I used an adjustment layer to 

turn the photo black and white.  I then went

back with a mask and brought back the yellow 

flowers.

On this picture I used contrast, brightness, and
levels to fix this photo up. Then I went back and
brought back the original blue sky.

AEB Image

Farm; May 2, 2009; Rexburg Dry Farms; Sony; Tripod

I used the Ultra-contrast on this final picture.  It took me forever to figure out the AEB setting on the camera but I finally got it to work.  It was amazing how the Dynamic Photo program was able to take all thre images and blend them into one beautiful picture.  I loved looking at all the different effects you could add to the image.  Fun stuff!

Turtle Edited: Complete cutout with quick selection tool and refined edges
Turtle Unedited: 07-12-2008; Albania; Sony

Making cutouts in Photoshop wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Using the quick selection tool allows you to cutout the image rather nicely. I found that it is important to be careful and precise on the detailed edges. Using the refine edge tool makes a world of difference on the image.

RED is powerful, a little bit of red can go a long way. Red is used to grab attention, it denotes happiness, and prosperity. I used red for the powerful color that it is. Red seems to stand out from all other colors. I haven't done any editing on the photos I mostly tried shots close up with different angles.
