Final Project: Photo Story

Photo 1:

I cropped this picture in and strengthened the saturation so the colors would stand out more.

Photo 2:

I used two filters on this picture. I used the magic wand to select the flag and I used the ripple filter, then the shift filter. Next I used the magic wand again to select the area surrounding the flag and darkened through light and contrast. Finally I inverted the selection so I had the flag and I increased the saturation.

Photo 3:

I cropped this picture down and used a filter to sharpen. I increased the brightness and saturation and decreasing the light and contrast.

Photo 4:

I used the clone tool to erase a person’s foot behind the subject.

Photo 5:

I increased the saturation and created another bar so it looks like a frame. I selected the bar on the left with the magic wand, copy, past, then moved it over and fixed the transparency. Finally I decreased the brightness in the right bar so it appeared set apart from the background.

Photo 6:

This picture I altered using the Iwrap filter. I made the swirls by holding the mouse down and crossing it over the picture.

Photo 7:

I selected the flag, pole and green tent, inverted the selection then used the wave filter. I also increased the saturation.

Photo 8:

I used the clone tool as well as the magic wand to select different parts of the photo. I used the blur and smudge tool to distort the people’s faces behind me as well as altered their clothing so the picture would demonstrate complementary color scheme.

Photo 9:

I cut and past the dragon boat and dragon head. Then I used a lot of cloning because I only had a small part of the boat. So I created the rest of the boat so it would reach across the picture.

Photo 10:

This picture represents a complementary color scheme. I used cloning to eliminate a trashcan on the grass and increased the saturation and contrast while decreasing the brightness and light.

Photo 11:

I selected the two flags from two other pictures and then copied them in using different layers. I increased the saturation to bring out of the color of the sky and flags. This photo displays the rule of thirds.

Photo 12:

I cut and past the dragon boat and head from photo 9 and pasted it onto the picture. Then I increased the saturation.

Week 11: Portraits

A Friend of mine. I asked him to pose, the white background wasn't the best but there wasn't another color wall. I guess the tricky part for me was how much of his torso I was going to include when taking the picture. I knew I wanted a head shot, but determining how much body was difficult. let me know what you think.
I had a lot of fun with this one. It was hard to get a good background, but this one is interesting enough; I just hope it doesn't take the focus away from the subject.

Cloning

Here is the one I cloned; I took out the stems and cropped it. This is the original.
