Portraits

Not a traditional portrait but I liked they way this photo framed the dog, I played with brightness and contrast to get a silhouette effect.

 

On this photo I removed some logos from the t-shirt by using the Clone tool and the smudge tool. I balanced the brightness and contrast and balanced the color.

 

On this photo I adjusted the color, and brightness. Then I used the dodge and burn tool to darken the center of the eyes because they where reflecting green. I also darkened the reflection on the nose and lip.

Photo Story

 

Here are ten photos that I would like to use for my photo story.

 

 

Week 10

 

I took this photo of an old truck my dad has out behind our house, I added my name as a logo.

 

 

 

 This photo is of my dog Riley (left) and my neighbors dog Casey (right) They are best buds and Casey stops by frequently to play with Riley. I used the cloning tool to remove some of the small marks in this photo. I eliminated the slide in the background. Some white specks in the grass. I also used it to remove the brown patches in Casey's fur.

 

Then end result

I used text to describe this action scene

Burn, Dodge and Filters

Before

 

After: Changed Contrast & Brightness, changed the color balance to add more red tones, Also used the Whirl and pinch filter

 

Used the paint brush to draw a heart on the tree



Before & After

I used the Burn to darken around the dog, I also used it on his eyes, noses and name tag to give more depth.  I used the dodge to lighten the dogs fur. I need more practice with the dodge and burn tool to get a better at balance the right about of light and dark.

 

Before&After

I used the old time filter to make this photo black and white, I also changed the brightness and contrast to give the image more depth.

Color Adjusted photos

I started to get a hang of GIMP without using any specific tools I adjusted my photos using the color Tab, Color Balance, Hue-Saturation, brightness and contrast as well as inverting.

 Original

Week 7 Selection Tools

This week I used GIMP to edit two photos. I used the move tool to reposition one photo on top of another. I cropped the flower photo, and made it transparent using the Alpha channel. I used both lasso and rectangle tools with the delete key to make the flower image appear as though it is floating in the clouds. I learned how to use many of the tools during this exploration of GIMP.

Landscapes

I am on vacation this week, so my landscape photos have all been taken here in Daytona Beach.
They were taken with my Canon PowerShot A2500.

 

I was lucky enough to take these from various points in the day, Daytona is a beautiful place to visit.

Rule of Thirds

So I wanted to practice a little so my first two images are of a tree, Then I decided to bring my dog Riley in for some photo ops since he loves having his picture taken!

The photo of the tree in the center lacks depth and is rather boring. The one on the right using the rule of thirds gives the photo more depth and is much more appealing.



 #1 This photo has more to look at and having the subject a little off center helps to balance the image.

This photo is nice but lacks balance and depth. #2
