Filters

Here is one of the sunset pictures that I distorted with an ocean ripple.
This picture I took this winter of the birds at the feeder. I used the artistic with the plastic wrap. I really like the different looks these filters can give the pictures.

Dodge and Burn

After playing with the burn and dodge tool I lightened the sky and gave a more deeper color to the trees.
This is the original picture that I took this fall at a playground. The color was starting to go by one the trees.

Week 8

I cropped this picture and increased the red saturation for the bird to stand out more.
This is the original photo. I took this from my livingroom window this winter. I zoomed in so that I had a nice picture of the bird.

Week 8

This is the original picture of the North Springfield Dam. Taken on a bright sunny day in March.
With this picture I increased the blue saturation and also the brightness. In the color balance I also increased the magenta and green. I like the colors a lot better in this one. It has taken me a while to play with this but the more that I did I liked what I came up with. Taking blah pictures and adding color can really change the look. With this program my pictures can good good no matter what.

Week 8

This is the picture that I updated using photoshop. I added more greens and a little red color to bring it out. This to me makes the waterfall looks more like it is in a tropical setting and not in a hotel. This was my first picture so I had some trouble finding what I wanted to do. This is a waterfall from one of the hotels in Las Vegas.
This is the original picture it seemed very dark to me. I wanted to bring more color into it.

Wally

Here is Wally (the redsox mascot) getting some sun before the season starts. I really had fun with photoshop once I figured everything out. Transforming my pictures were the hard part but I finally got it.

sunset


This is one of my favorite pictures showing landscape. It is in the Dom. Republic, we were on our way to dinner and I stopped to take a picture and loved the way it came out. I have since framed it and it is hanging on our wall.
