Poster Print
Bannack Buggy; 5-25-2011. 3:50pm; Bannack, MT; f/4.1; 1/180; Samsung PL60
Large format printing is a hassle, but I love how the poster came out. I was really worried that the picture would get too blurry when I blew it up to 24x36, but it came out nice and sharp.
I took the original buggy image and overlayed a picture of peeling paint on it to bring a little more to it. I then sharpened the whole image and adjusted the hue to make the wood look more natural. Last I boosted the saturation on most of the image, but that made the grass in the corner really bright, so I masked that out and darkened it a little bit in Camera Raw.

Weekly Edits - Fine Art Templates
Secret Hideaway; 4-28-2011, 2:38pm; Nature Park, Rexburg, ID; f/8; 1/80; Nikon CoolPix P500
Bannack Scraps; 5/25/2011, 12:50pm; Bannack, MT; f/3.4; 1/25; Nikon CoolPix P500
I like the look of the fine art template, makes me feel fancy and professional. It was fairly simple to put together with the clipping masks. The hard part was getting a signature I was somewhat satisfied with. Looking at it now I'm still not entirely sure I like it. For the second one, I wanted to try something with color, fool around a bit. So I edited the original hue to give me something fun and pulled the color for the background out of that.
Night and Light
Have a seat; 6-12-2011, 10:41pm; Rexburg, ID; f/3.4; 8.0secs; Tripod; Flashlight
Look at the Light; 6-12-2011, 10;14pm; Rexburg, ID; f/4.0; 8.0secs; Tripod
Shake It Up; 6-12-2011, 10:23pm; Rexburg, ID; f/4,8; 5.0secs
Traffic In Motion; 6-12-2011, 10:31pm; Rexburg, ID; F/4.0; 4.0secs; TripodThis weeks assignment was tough for me.. I was just totally lacking in original ideas of what to shoot, so I ended up putting it off until the night before it was due. Never a good idea.
For my light painting shot, I used the light from my phone to highlight the legs of the chair in my room. Of all the shots, I think this one came out the best for me this week. No big edits, just sat boostng.
For Light Sketching, I set my camera up on a tripod and used a laser pointer and wrote on the wall with the light. It took forever to get the shot right. My camera won't let me do a longer SS than 8 seconds, so I kept running out of time. I finally got it on about try #30. I used PhotoShop to change the color of the light from green to the fuscia and boosted the saturation.
Camera motion was my least favorite. I had my roommate hold up the light and I set the SS to five seconds and shook the camera around, nothing to special.
Blurred Lights came pretty easy. I waited for it too get dark, set up my camera at the corner near my apartment, waited for a car to come and got the shot. I like how you don't even see the car in the picture, just the line from the taillights. I did some adjustments in Camera Raw to lessen the yellow glow from the street lights.

Weekly Edits - Border Effects
Jillian; 5-19-2011, 3:15pm; Rexburg, ID; f/6.3; 1/250; Nikon CoolPix P500
Rustic Cowgirl; 5-25-2011, 1:45pm; Bannck, MT; f/4.4; 1/5; Nikon CoolPix P500; Tripod
Day's End Beverage; 5-25-2011, 5:15pm; Bannack, MT; f/5.0; 1/100; Dynamic Photo HDRI really like some of the cool border effects you can create in Photoshop, and they are pretty quick to do as well. For the first picture, I created a flexible vignette. I decided to add the white stroke to the inside of the border rather than feathering the border. For Rustic Cowgirl, I applied a sponge effect with reduced opacity to the original image. I used the brushed on effect using the history brush to add the border. I like how certain parts of the picture come through more than others. My favorite is the root beer bottles. I first edited the image using Dynamic Photo HDR to give it the red color and enhanced lighting. I like the effect of the double fade border and how it pulls your attention to the middle of the image.

Scannography
Money Grows; 6-5-2011, 4:00pm; Rexburg, Idaho; Canon Pixma MX340 Scanner
All Hand Shots - 6-5-2011; 4:45pm; Rexburg, Idaho; Canon MX340 Scanner
I was nervous about this weeks assignment. I have never really used a scanner much, just for some old pictures of my family, but I was pleasantly surprised to see what I came up with. For the Single Scan Image created a landscape shot using some coins I has laying around. I really like how you can see all the details from the coins, how each one has different imperfections on it. For my blend image, I decided to use Photoshop for to create a panoramic image. I scanned my hand five different times in the different positions then used the photomerge function in PS. I darkened the blacks to remove some fingerprints you could see from the glass of the scanner.
