6. For this shot, I used a tripod and a timer to capture both of us. I also used manual settings to get a more decent lighting. In my editing, I airbrushed and added saturation. I also sharpened the image, and painted a lighter color throughout my eyes.

6. For this shot, I used a tripod and my manual settings. The lighting was perfect and I did not need to do alot of editing which was exciting. I did sharpen the image, and add saturation. I also used the Dodge tool to lighten selective parts of our faces and hair. I really like how this photo turned out. I found that dress at the D.I. for 6 bucks and it was really fun to wear!

6. For this shot I used a tripod to capture both of us. This was completely candid because as I set the timer and ran towards Olin I almost ate it! So I was trying to pull it together before the camera shot but this is what came out of it. HAHA! In my editing, I increased the saturation and color balance of the yellows and reds. I also airbrushed both of our skin and added brightness.

6. I like that the sepia tones did not change the original by much because of the colors that were already present. I used manual settings to get the shot and I thought the lighting was pretty great all by itself. In my editing, I did increase the brightness a little bit as well as add a sepia tone color to it. I really liked the way it turned out especially because root beer is my favorite drink! :)

4. f/5.6
5. 1/800 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. This shot was composed of three different shots that I took with my bracketing settings and brought into Photo Matix. I used a tripod to capture these shots so that the alignment would be nicer. In the editing, I chose one of the main standard setting and increased the temperature, brought down the white light and brought up the black light etc.

4. f/7.1
5. 1/1250 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For these shots, I just used my spot metering to meter and focus onto the sky, horizon, and land. I do not see too much of a difference but I do see how it changes the exposure by a little bit. I did not do any editing to these photos.

4. f/3.2
5. 1/400 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot, I made sure I had a close foreground and something at least 20 feet away in the background. I used my tulip icon, macro setting to insure that I could get alot of blur in the background. In my editing, I increased the saturation, brightness, and contrast, and I also sharpened the overall image.

6. For this shot, I was thinking about what texture I wanted to overlay from the beginning. I really liked the way this one turned out. In my editing, besides combining the two photos, I also increased the brightness and saturation of both photos. I also added a layer mask and used black paint to mask out some of the texture in some areas of the photo.

4. f/5.6
5. 1/400 sec. - Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I went outside in the brighter light and increased my shutter speed in my TV settings to freeze this motion. In my basic editing, I just sharpened the image to more vividly see the water splashes. I also increased the saturation and brightness just a little bit. I was not using a tripod but I probably should have.

3. Bannack Ghost Town- Hotel Mead
4. f/7.1
5. 2.0 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot I used a tripod and tried to find the darkest place I could in the hotel. I left my shutter open for two seconds, having Olin stand in the doorway for one second and then move to get this ghost effect. In my editing, I sharpened the image, increased the saturation and the brightness. I think overall it turned out pretty creepy!
2. 5/255/11- 12:46 PM

4. f/7.1
5. 1.0 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. The idea of this shot was to look as creepy and freakish as possible, I think it was accomplished don't you? I used a tripod for this shot as well, but only kept the shutter open for 1 second instead of 2. In my editing, I sharpened the image and added saturation.

5. 1/30 sec.- Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
6. For this shot, I used a tripod and timer so that I could capture both of us. The lighting was perfect in the saloon. For the editing I airbrushed both of our faces and also "added soul" to our eyes using the tutorial shown in class. I also added brightness, saturation and color balance.

6. For this shot, I used my manual settings to help me out with the lighting because it started to get a little bit over gloomy. I really liked the color of the door and thought it made a nice background. In my editing, I airbrushed his skin, and whitened his teeth a little bit. I also increased the saturation, hue, brightness, and contrast of the photo overall.

6. This kid is hilarious! I loved taking pictures of her! I applied the match color edit to this shot which made it look alot better! I also sharpened the image overall and made some minor saturation and color balance edits because it ended up looking a little more pink than I wanted it to, but overall I really liked how it turned out. I still think I would to take out the background so it is not distracting to how cute she is!

5. For this shot, I took several angles but I wanted to make sure I got the water in the shot. For my editing in Camera Raw, I increased the saturation and vibrance, I also played with the color levels to bring out more of the reds that were in the plants and the stone.

6. For this shot I actually took it as we were leaving the park somewhat last minute, and I really ended up liking it! It's funny how instinct works. For my editing process in camera raw, I brought up the temperature and tint of the shot. I also brought out the oranges in the plants so that it was not as bland and the blues so that I didn't loose the color of the sky and the water. I also bumped up the saturation and clarity which made the overall detail look more crisp.
