Projector Image

Self Portrait: Reflection

For my reflection photo I took a little container and filled it with water then got my reflection in it on the opposite side. I cropped out the background things that were distracting and focused it on my reflection.

Refraction Series

 For my first refraction image, I adjusted the levels of white and gray. Then, I added saturation to emphasize the dislocation of the straw.

The second image I did is one of my glasses at home, behind it is a dish dryer and below it is wrapping paper designed with candy canes. The first thing I did was add saturation and make the photo brighter. Then, I cropped out some thingsd that were distracting attention from the glass itself.

 

  My third photo showing refraction is a glass with three peices of chalk, in front of wallpaper and a bottom design. I added more color to make the twisted colors on the glass stand out.

The last refraction image I took was a wine glass again, with a straw. This shot of the wine glass also shows it's shadow being warped.

Halloween Shoot

My Halloween photo is of Sara at the memorial. I added an outer glow to her body and lowered the opacity to make her look almost invisible. I also, added a cooling filter to make her skin seem really pale and dead.

Landscapes: 3 Times of Day

 This is my first landscape image that I took, in the morning around 7 am. I took some of the saturation away to make it look more dull and have a cool filterish look. I also, added a cyan filter to draw attention away from the mulch, so the leaf takes the color.

 My second photo was during night time around 7pm. I used flash because I missed the sunset. I added contrast to have the green stand out. Then, I adjusted the levels so you couldn't see the mulch in the background.

The final photo I chose is the one I took at noon. The lighting was perfect and the mulch in the background is actually visible. First, I blurred the leaves behind the main one and adjusted the brightness so the yellow on the edges of the leaf would stand out.

Toys (indoor)

My outdoor photo was taken with a silver sparkly background and a mirror reflection, which i cropped out. I added a black&white filter and adjusted the contrast to make his shadow more clarified. To edit the little spots of dirt on his face, I used the spot healing brush.

Toys (outdoor)

My outdoor image was taken in front of my house with my sister's Minnie Mouse toy. I added two peices of mulch beside her to make it look like she is sitting on a park bench. I added brightness and contrast so her pink colors would stand out more.

Lightbox

This photo from the lightbox focuses on the black feather near the center of the image. I lightened all the yellow shades and darkened the feather so it would stand out even more.

Still-Life

 This still-life image is mostly like the original but, I played around with a couple of cooling filters and also tooled with the contrast and shadows.

 For my second still-life photo I applied a black & white filter, then added the tiniest bit of green to it. After i finished the major changes, I adjusted little things that stood out with the bandaid tool.

This final still-life image is just a black&white filter with little touches on lighting and brightness.

Nature Collage

Canal

This photo is from the Cape Cod Canal, it shows the difference that lighting really creates. In the crevasse of each little wave it gets to a darker blue. At the horizon line, the reflection of the trees and houses are faded and enlonged to the waves.

Outdoor Layer Masks

 

 This picture is a combined image of the Grist Mill in Plymouth, and one of my neighbor's flowers in her garden. The little droplets of water are clear and the sparkles among the water are, too.The flower blurres in and grabs the attention.

 I took this picture when I was in New Hampshire off-roading. The view was really breath taking so I had to pull out my phone and take this. The mountains in the back draw attention to the clouds which is the part of the image that has the most light.

This picture is directly focused on the three-leaf clover, and the green color of it makes it stand out even more. You can see all the little fuzzies on each leaf. The clarity of the clover makes everything around it look blurred out.
