photo story

Action

I kept my camera on continuous to avoid blur. I also stayed low because i was focusing on a child. I used the dodge and burn tool to fix some of the uneven "spring" colors.

Portraits week 13

I experimented with different angles and keeping my camera on continues to catch my kids being themselves.
I took this picture laying on the ground. One of the readings said with kids you should get down to their level, i thought it would be fun to get below it.





This picture i got when my 7 year old peeked up over the deck. I was laying on the deck to get the last picture and Will peeked up to see what i was doing.

Adding Words

Week Nine: Filters

This is a before and after of my cat Tiva. I used the water color and accented Edges Filters.

Week Nine: Dodge and Burn

This is a before and after picture of a sunset. I adjusted the colors but, it caused the front field to become really light and distracting. I then used the burn tool to fix it.

Mosaic

I had sooo much fun creating this mosaic picture. It is a picture of my sons eating carrots, filled with pictures of my family (my husband, sons, pets, and I).

Week Eight

I enhanced a picture of the tree tops I took for our lighting section. Here is the photo before.

And the after

Week Seven: Photoshop

I LOVE PHOTOSHOP. I have been using photoshop for about five years now and love it. I tried to keep these pics simple and stick to what the class is doing without using extra options in photoshop. I call this one "cat lookin in the mouse houe" It is the pic i took using the macro setting of my cat and one of my rats.

And this one is "flying baby" I used the photo of the snow in the night sky using the flash and macro setting with a pick of my son. I also made a render of the magic carpet from Alladen for him to fly on.

Week six: Landscape

I have been sick so i am posting some pics I took in the summer time. I hope this is okay.

Week Five

Collage of week 4

Here are some photos i didn't choose to post but, I really liked

Tree house

I love this tree house. I found this in the woods. I like the different angles of it.

Week Four: Lighting

I used natural lighting for these pictures. I took alot of pictures with various lighting but, I was pulled back to natural lighting. These pictures were taken in Winsted CT.

Week Four: Color

I am in CT for the week end visiting my father in law. His girlfriend just moved in and she has alot of stones and crystals so I used some of them with complimentary colors.

Here is my collage to include some photos I havent posted.

DreamCatcher

This is part of a dream catcher. Taken with the macro setting on.

Toy

This is my sons orange toy. This picture was taken with the macro setting and HI ISO on.

Week Two: Vermonts Nite Sky

I took this picture at 9pm. I was trying to take a picture of the moon, but it started to flurry and I got some great shots of the snow. In the first picture there was just a couple flakes but, by the time I took the second one It had begun to really snow hard. I liked these two pictures because I accidentally caught snow flakes and it shows how different 10 minutes in Vermont can be.

First Week of class

It is the first week of digital photography! I cant wait to post some pics.
