On the Angle

Photo By: Alyssa L.


When I usually take pictures I take them as is. Meaning I really don’t think about how I could take a picture and edit it on photoshop. I take pictures like how I want them to come out using photoshop is just a bonus if it can’t make my picture look better. This time I took this shot knowing that I wanted to edit a certain way on photoshop. It was a great experience getting to dabble in the techniques in this computer program.

Colors Fading

Photo By: Austin L.


So this picture idea was come up with while listening to presentations on famous photographers. What I did was I took the picture and before even leveling it, I duplicated it as a new layer. Then I leveled one of them to be darker and one lighter. Then Katie suggested that I throw it in black in white, so I threw the lighter layer in black and white then added a layer mask on the black and white layer. Then I gradient the layer mask so that it looked like the colors were fading away.

For this picture I used a setting on my camera called Raw. Without knowing that it was on, I took a picture and later looked at how much detail was shown. I turned this picture black and white, because I thought it would be a special touch to the photo. I had lots of fun taking pictures for the Emerald Ridge vs. Rogers match because it was good competition and I was able to take a lot of pictures.

Pattern of Clouds

Photo by: Tim H.


For this picture I had to pass the bridge heading towards the University of Washington campus in Seattle. When I took this picture I did not have the intent of getting all the clouds in a weird pattern. But when I uploaded the pictures I saw that this one looked pretty cool. I used 32oo shutter to get good stillness. I am glad it came out well and not a very blurry picture.

Reflections!

Photo by: Elizabeth M.


This picture was taken in front of my neighbor’s house after a rain storm. I picked a flower and placed it in the bird bath to add color to the dark gloomy cast. The sun was just coming out to set and so there was a reflection of the house in the water.

Sail Boats

I took this picture when I went to the waterfront. I was taking pictures of the flowers and noticed there was a sail boat competition going on. I like this picture because how pretty the grass and water are, and how the sail boats are in the background. I also love the color of the sky.

To Dance

Photo By: Alyssa L.


I took these shots based on my famous photographer, Larry Fink. The dancers I shot were so willing to allow me to take there shots numerous times. I feel that some of my shots I captured true emotions. Manly the lighting was the biggest issue I had but after making adjustments and getting the image I wanted it was enough to achieve the look I was going for.

I took this picture for the Famous Photographer assignment. My photographer takes night pictures that represent abandonment. I think my photo represents that as well. I like the way this picture turned out. I didn’t have to do much editing. I just cropped it on Photoshop.

My little pony

I took this picture at the daffodil parade for photojournalism. I thought the focus was good but I wish I could have gotten the hooves of the pony too. I also like how the crowd in the background is blurred.
