Scanography with Borders

4x6 Blend


8x10 Blend

For this border effect I used the flexible brush tutorial to create that brushed on effect. After I got it how I wanted it to look I added a rectangle box and put a stroke on it. I wanted the colors to match and tried to get it as close as I could. I thought it turned out well.

Scanography

One Scan

This is my one scan image. I layered a bunch of my jewelry on the scanner and left the lid open. I turned off the lights so was able to get the black background. I liked how the scanner made little shine marks on a couple of pieces of jewelry. I boosted the contrast a little in camera raw.

2. Little Rocks: July 12th, 2010; 7:25.; Rexburg, ID; Epson Scanner
1. Flowers: July 12th, 2010; 7:35.; Rexburg, ID; Epson Scanner

Blend

For this blend I use an overlay blending mode to combine the little rocks and big rocks. Because I used a plastic covering over the scanner so I wouldn't scratch the scanner, I boosted the contrast and warmed up the temperature in camera raw. By boosted the contrast, I kind of got rid of that plastic glare.
For the flowers I used the quick selection tool in Photoshop to select the flowers. I just drug the flowers over on top of my rocks. I thought it turned out nice.

I liked this assignment. It was very cool. For the first picture there wasn't any edits done. I just inserted it into my template and used a clipping mask to insert it in. For the second picture I did a little levels, contrast, boosted the vibrance and clarity. I shortened my rectangles because I wanted to see what it looked like and I thought it turned out nice.

Photolusion Straight


I guess I was in cloud mood when I took these picture.

For my Photolusion Edited shot I wanted the clouds to look like they were spelling a word. I chose the word LOVE because I had a sign that said that but.... yeah. I cut out the word love and then drug it over to my cloud picture. I used the clone stamp to erase the part of the cloud where I wanted love to read.

For my Photolusion Straight shot, I thought that this wispy cloud kind of looked like mist. So I wanted the cloud to look like mist coming out of my perfume bottle. It wasn't a perfect cloud but I thought it turned out ok. I didn't do any edits to this picture besides a little levels.

The picture of the cellar is unedited, I just decided to do an edge effect to it.

I took my sister-in-laws family pictures and I thought it would fun to do a couple of edge effects to these picture. Because the background of the pictures were white, I put black in the background.

4. Cellar and car lights. June 12th, 9:45 pm, Rexburg, ID. f10, shutter speed 30 sec, Canon 7d, ISO 100

The light painting were really fun to do. I went and bought some glow sticks (bracelets), which gave them that circular feel. The first one I just threw them in the air and let them fall down and the second one I was actually holding them and swirling them around.

For the first outside picture, I did a 30 second exposure and just thought the last of the sunset was hitting the front of this cellar really neat. The second one I turned on my car lights for about half of the exposure which gave it that glow.
