Large Poster Print Finals

1. Daddy's Girl- 18X24
2. 6/5/11- 6:49 PM- Backyard
3. Canon PowerShot SX30 IS- Aperture Mode- f/3.5- 1/80 sec. 
4. I airbrushed both of their skin and whitened the dad's teeth. I also increased the saturation, brightness, and contrast. I also cropped the image to give it a more appealing view. I also played with the color balance a little bit so that it was not as green. 
5. I chose this photo because I loved how candid it was. This little girl is such a daddy's girl and I love the admiration that is in her dad's eyes for her. I would like to give this as a gift to them. When I took the photo, I was sure to put them in the shade because the lighting everywhere else was very harsh.
I have already turned this in but needed to get it re-printed, but Sister Esplin has seen it. However it will not be up for display in the Spori Building because of this.



1. Being Dorks- 18X24
2. 5/25/11- 4:52 PM- Bannack Ghost Town
3. Canon PowerShot SX30 IS- Manual Mode- f/4.0- 1/100 sec.
4. I airbrushed both of our skins. I sharpened the overall image. I added a vignette and some temperature to the photo in Camera Raw. I also added some saturation and brightness to the image as well. I whitened our teeth a bit too.
5. I chose this photo because of the candid nature of it. I love the fact that I had just about tripped running over to Olin from setting the timer on my camera. I had it set up on a tripod and I loved the backdrop more than anything. I also chose this photo because I would like it in our home, it definitely shows who my husband and I are!

Editing Post- Fine Art Template

1. Fine Art Template
2. 5/25/11- 1:48 PM
3. Bannack Ghost Town
4. f/4.0
5. 1/160 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot in my editing I followed the #36 tutorial in "Custom Images," and I edited the photo with a little bit of brightness and saturation. I really liked the way this shot fit into the template I created which is part of why I chose it. Some of my other favorites did not fit well.



1. Cliffs
2. 4/13/11- 8:35 PM
3. Encinitas, CA.
4. f/4.0
5. 1/500 sec. - Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. I played with saturation, vibrance, and also contrast in my editing... This is one of my favorite shots of the semester or right before the semester began. I loved the way the colors pop with the saturation I added. Another reason I chose this photo for my template is the way that is fit well with it. The other shots I wanted to place in here did not look as proportional. 

Photography Post- Night Photography

2. 6/11/11- 10:03 PM
3. My House
4. f/2.7
5. 8.0 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I just left the shutter speed open for 8 seconds and set my camera on a tripod to avoid shake. I used these little finger lights that my friends got me for Christmas and just moved around and made a spherical shape around myself while the shutter was open. In my editing, I sharpened the image a little bit and increased the saturation.

1. Light Love
2. 6/11/11- 10:08 PM
3. My House
4. f/2.7
5. 8.0 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I used a tripod to avoid shake and used my blue finger light to trace "I love you" on my wall with the shutter for 8 seconds. In my editing I did sharpen the image a little bit and add saturation.

Camera Motion:


1. Colored Lightning
2. 6/11/11- 10:50 PM
3. My House
4. f/2.7
5. 5.0 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I placed my finger lights at the top of the carpet and then moved my camera down the line moving backwards and jerking the camera about in random motions side to side. I only left my shutter open for 5 seconds. I did not apply any editing to this photo.

Light Painting:

1. Buried Treasure
2. 6/11/11- 10:57 PM
3. My House
4. f/4.0
5. 10 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot, I set up a treasure box that I made for my sisters birthday and laid out the jewels around it. Then, I set up my tripod and used and LED flashlight to paint certain parts of the box. I wanted the front of the box and the jewels to be most prominent so I left the flashlight on those sections for longer.

Edits Post- Edge Effects

Original:

Sprayed Edge Effect:

1. The Sharp Family
2. 06/05/11- 6:56 PM
3. Backyard
4. f/2.7
5. 1/640 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I used my manual settings on my camera to help with the lighting. In my editing, I increased the saturation and contrast a little bit and I also did some spot healing. For the bordered edge, I chose an orange that was on their outfit to match. Then, I just followed the rest of the tutorial number 9.

Original:
Flexible Brushed-on Effect:
1. Mercedes
2. 06/05/11- 6:50 PM
3. Backyard
4. f/4.5
5. 1/80 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot, I was in AUTO mode. In my editing, I just brightened the image a little bit and added some saturation. For the edge effect, I used tutorial number 11. I was sure to decreased the opacity throughout the brush strokes which I think gave it a fun effect.

Original:
Flexible Vignette:

1. Hanging Out in the Hess' Chairs
2. 06/05/11- 7:18 PM
3. Jared and Tori's Backyard
4. f/4.0
5. 1/160 sec. Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I was in my manual mode and did nothing special. For the bordering, I used tutorial number 14 and used a color from Mercedes dress to use as the border color which I am not sure I like too much. In my editing, I sharpened the image, and added a Gaussian blur with a layer mask to make Jace and Mercedes stand out more.

Photography Post- Scanography

One Scan:

1. Buttons
2. 06/04/11- 10:00 AM
3. Spori Computer Lab
4. Scanner
5. Scanner
6. For this image, I arranged my buttons, and jewelery on the scanner. I then placed a piece of black cloth over the pieces and scanned the image. I really like how it turned out without any editing, but I decided to take it into Photoshop for some minor edits. In Photoshop, I increased the brightness and saturation and I also sharpened the image. I also clone stamped out an unwanted string that was on the black cloth.



Collage Scan Orginals:

Blended Collage Image:



1. Scanner Love
2. 06/04/11- 10:30 AM

4. Scanner
5. Scanner
6. For all of these shots, I did the same thing as I did for the one scan post except I did not add the black cloth. Although, I wish I did because I think it would have been easier to blend the black color than the various whites and blues that appeared. For my editing, I sharpened all of the images and added a little bit more saturation. Then, I stacked the images on top on one another and decreased the opacity. I had to go back through and add layer masks in attempts to blend the various colors.
