Dodge Burn and Filters

Dodge, Burn and Filter

 

For this picture of my sister and niece I used the dodge and burn tools to lighten my nieces face and to darken the purple in the foreground.

For these next two pictures I played around with the supernova filter and the different border affects.  I also used the burn tool to darken the pictures

 

 



Color and Lighting

 Color and Lighting

For Both of my photos this week I played around with adjusting the brightness and the contrast of the photo.  for the picture of the balloon I also played around with the background color and decided to turn it gray scale.  The picture of my dog Bosco I also cropped.  The originals are at the bottom of the page.

Selection Tool

Using Gimp

 

This week I took three separate photos and played around with them in Gimp.  Once I liked how the photos looked I then cropped the photos and placed them on top of one another in the frame.  This is my mom holding a picture of her daughter (my sister Nicole), and Nicole holding a picture of her daughters.



Assignment 2

Landscapes

 

 

 

 

I absolutely love taking landscape photos, but actually struggled to get "the right shot" this week.  It was pretty rainy or overcast for the most part, and I was out of town most of the week.  This first picture is from the Waterbury Reservoir. I really liked the framing with the trees but wish the tuff of leaves were not touching the sky on the right hand side.  I couldn't get the angle just right.

This next photo I liked how the train trestle reflected in the water, and broke up the shot.  Wind hadn't been blowing so hard the water would have been calmer and would have reflected better. 

This photo I liked how bright the sky was against the dark mountains in the distance.



This one is another from the Reservoir that I liked.
