Week 9

Poster Ideas:
I am not sure if I want to do both of these or not, but I do love them both...What do you think?

Water Shots:
These were the shots that I took this week. I love how they turned out. I actually just purchased a new Canon Rebel T1i and I had fun taking shots with it. 2 of the shots were taken at the BYU-I gardens and the other 2 at Yellowstone National Park. I think that I captured the water quite nicely in all pictures. Water is a really pretty object to photograph.

Week 8

Panoramics
These are very fun shots to take, but I find them very hard to do. I hope that mine turned out okay. I think that I can do better next time. First time isn't too bad though. Here is a beautiful shot of Lake Yellowstone. I tried my best to blend the shots the best I could. I will go later and correct some of the flaws later, but for now I am a beginner.

Here are my individual shots taken 6-18-09 in the morning at Yellowstone.

Daily Pictures:
Here are some of my pictures that I have taken over the week. I had fun choosing which pictures to use and I hope that they are what describe me and what I have done over the week. They are all taken with my Canon Point and Shoot! I love to take random pictures as you can tell. I had fun with the macro shots, manual shots and the weather. As you can see a ton of the pics were taken in doors due to the crazy rain everyday this week. There were a few times I got out to take outdoor shots and I think they turned out well.

Week 6

Edit:
This picture was taken around March of this year and I wanted to show the size of the dog compared to me...he is quite large as you can see. I thought this picture was funny and I wanted to edit it a little. What I did was saturated the picture, brought myself back in color and then I also took some of the blemishes off my face. I also put a bit of a inner shadow on the pic too.

Portraits:
1. Was taken at the SLC temple, my friend Amanda had never been and I wanted to take a portrait of her with the temple so she can remember her time there. I did minor edits with the saturation's and bringing the color of the sky and her shirt out and then of course I put a blue border around it to bring the pic out a little more.

2. This was taken at Christmas time this past year and I love it, because it was my cute nieces all dressed up in their PJ's ready for Santa to arrive. I didn't edit too much with this picture, it just has a vinyette on the photo.

Week 5

Edge Shot
This was taken when we were at Bannack and I really liked it, I actually did an HDR edit on it and then refined it with a burned edge...I really like to put a black edged effect on shots, it makes them more fun.



Night Shots
This week was really fun. I had the opportunity to go to Utah this weekend and shoot with my friends Selena and Russ. I got to use Selena's Canon EOS 5D, which was really fun. What we did in these shots was set up the camera on a tripod and had the camera set on the bulb setting, with the aperature set on 9...we had a shutter trigger and took maybe 10 to 15 seconds to pull it for every shot. Most shots we used a flash or flash light with colored filters to produce fun colors and get more contrasts into the shot. We also used the flashlight to flash me every few seconds so that I can have the ghost effect with the truck shot. If you look closely you can see that the tree in the background is red, thanks to my friend Russ for shinning his flashlight with a red filter...it gave it a cool effect. My friends live down in Orem and knew where this cool old Sinclair gas station was, I was thankful because we took some fun pictures there. I think that they turned out quite nicely.

Bannack

Here is my post of all the Bannack shots. I had fun taking pictures up here, there are tons of different things to photograph. I loved using macro, angles and I had fun with the shutter speeds. I think that most of my pictures turned out good. I used a few different textures on a few of the pictures, the ones with the text and for sure and the ghost photo. I did use a lot of inner shadows for the pictures and most had burned adjustment layers. Here are all my descriptions for each picture...they are counted from left to right and from top to bottom. I did add a ton more extra pictures because I couldn't just pick 6 and I wanted to show you some of my best shots and edits. Most shots are taken with my Canon Powershot, but one...the Ghost shot.

Week 3 Flora and Fauna

Here are my pictures for week 3:
I had a ton of fun working on the assignment for this week. I have taken pictures in the past with the help of my friend, who happens to be a photographer. She showed me some awesome ways of shooting. But I love the outcomes of all pictures.
I will say that I had the hardest time with the Adjustment Layers this week, but I ended up putting a filter on the picture, which was a watercolor filter, then I brought the saturation up with the adjustment layer. I think that it turned out pretty ok.
1. Adjustment Layers: This was taken in Flagstaff, AZ with my Canon Powershot f/ 4.5 1/60 5.9.09
2. Sunflower: This was taken in Salamanca, Spain in a field of Sunflowers with a Canon EOS 5D f/11.0 1/800 7.27.07
3. Ocean: This was taken in Kauai, HI near Wamaiea Canyon with my Canon Powershot f/8.0 1/100 7.29.08
