Final Photostory

My final story. I added backgrounds to most all the pictures. Also added Text to every picture. I also moved the main object in the picture around. Also at the end of the slide show I gave the websites I got the backgrounds from. Hope you like.

Here's what I did to each of the pictures.

1st picture the only thing I did was added text

2nd picture I found a background of a bathroom because most females like to pose in the bathroom by the tolite. then I moved her to the left side of the page and also add text.

3rd picture is of Alexis drunk, I changed the background to rainbow, and also moved her a little to the left and added text

4th picture added a background and text

5th picture added text, change background to blue and moved her all the way over to the left

6th picture The only thing I decided to change was adding text other than that I left it along because I thought it was a power picture as it is was.

7th picture added text, changed background and cut out the camera because I couldn't crop it very well.

8th picture added text and a background and now realize the big star in the corner is a little much.

9th picture all I did was add text

10th picture is added text and used the pattern stamp tool to draw the lines.

11th picture the only thing I did was add text

12th picture is where I got all my backgrounds from

Portraits

Since last week I new that my two daughters, a boy named Allen and his mother Mina went to a Balloon and Craft Festival so I wanted to take lots of pictures. After I was tired of taking pictures I ended up taking close to 300 pictures. The troubles I was having was the sun kept going in and out and I would forget to change the setting on my camera to take a picture picture. Another problem I was having was I was my hands kept shaking like crazy. The way I would solve the issue of shaking was lean up against something or hope and pray I didn't move when taking the picture.

Now the next two are of my daughters again but I took them to pick a spot they wanted me to take a picture. Eva the younger one day she wanted me to take pictures of her by the apple tree by her school. For that picture I ended up taking about 12 pictures and this is the one I picked of her looking up at the tree which was to high for her to touch. The second pictures is of Alexis's she wanted me to take a picture out side our home where I recently took a picture of Eva and shared with everyone a few weeks back. She picked her favorite dress. For that picture I took about 15 different pictures using different angles to see what kind of lighting I had. The only problem I was having was she wouldn't stay still. So I took as many pictures I could.

Is this what we are teaching our children is beautiful & you need & this is what you to do to be accepted?

When I go and fix the pictures after everyones comments I plan on changing the background all pictures but the first picture and the last picture. Also I am using the rule of thirds to show what's being said in the text.

Assignment #1

So this picture I thought would be a great picture to take the one picture of the eagle and just stamp it and make couple more eagles. Can you figure out which one is the real one?

This picture I just added text to. This is how humid of a day it was hiking that day.

Now using the paint brush/bucket I just thought I would go with whatever I came up with. That it was pretty cool for the outcome.

Week 9 Dodge and Burn

I have to say I have been playing around with this weeks assignment and I decided to use a old picture that I really liked but the only thing I didn't like about the picture was it came out so dark, yet it was a sunny day.

This is the new picture after I used all the setting below to change it

Dodge Tool 12x

Exposure 1 layer

and Modify exposure layer

The original image

For this picture I just wanted to see what kind of difference I could do with hardly any color

These are the settings I used

Dodge tool 10x to the pinkish color

Burn Tool 11x to make the black darker

I really don't know what to think of this photomosaic. What do you think?

Week 8 Color Adjustments

These are the pictures I decided to doing color adjustments on. I had fun with this once I figured out how to make it so the color difference showed on on picture.
