Final Project

These are great pictures that I got from Community Commons. I did not edit all of them since I used so many, but at least 10 of them are edited from original some of them are very apparently edited, and some not.

Portrait

This shot turned out a little dark due to the lighting, but not bad overall. Portraits are hard to take simply because getting a person to smile and not blink and pose somewhat is a bit of a challenge. Fortunately, my brother (unlike me) enjoys being in the spotlight. No, he doesn't always dress like that, the picture was taken in Canada and he's "trying to look Canadian". I'm not sure if its really working.

Clone/Text

I used the same picture...see if you can notice the differences.

Dodge/Burn

Here we have the bathroom that I just tore apart today. I used the burn tool to black out the window. Kind of gives it an eerie look and gets rid of the label in the window.

Lighting/Color edit

Two different sets of pictures. The top and bottom pictures are the originals.You can see the before and after shots on both of them. The river shot I made darker and added more contrast. The apple tree shot I changed to become very green. I also adjusted the color curve which gave the grass a rather mossy look.

Crop

To go with my moose, I have a deer. The original is the wider shot, where the deer appears very small. I cropped the picture to get a closer look at the deer. It does lose a little clarity, but my camera takes a good enough shot that I can digitally zoom in and still end up with a decent picture. Picture was taken at my parent's house in Barton.

Landscape

I took a few different pictures of my backyard. I'm working on doing a bit of landscaping back there and so I'm going to try to show the progress in the next few weeks. I took the picture a few times, but got a glare from the sun on a couple of them. Still have a bit of foliage up here where its hot and dusty (ha).
