Portrait

I like taking portrait photographs however my subjects don't seem to like it much. At first I tried to take some photographs of my daughter for christmas cards but she didn't feel like cooperating with me so I took some of my Dozer our dog. He seems to listen better.

Clone and Writting

 I can say im not a big fan of writting on my photos. I think it distracts from the photo. Probably something I would only use in an advertisement of some sort. The first picture I just wrote on but the second I used the clone tool and then added more color the food on Maisys face :)

 I love the filters! Its really cool everything you can do with one picture.

Excuse the messy bedroom. I found it kinda hard to use the dodge and burn tool. It will probably just take time to get used to it. You can't really see what I did but the bottom picture has a light spot up at the top by the pillows and I fixed it on the top picture. I tried on the right bottom light spot but it didn't look right. I probably wasn't doing something right.

Color and Light

I love black and white photos. Many of my photos i have printed out are black and white.

Crop, Move, Selection

Sooo... Im not 100% sure i did this assignment right but I sure tried. The tools were a little confusing but I think it will only take practice in order to get used to everything and what it does and how to use it. I definately enjoyed manipulating the pictures. Its kind of fun not knowing what your going to get when your just fooling around with a new program.

Landscape Photos

I love taking Landscape photos. I think it helps us to appreciate our surroundings. I think a lot of times we take our surroundsing for granted and being able to capture a specific memory and to be able to look back at it we are able to see things that we might not have been able to see before. When we look back on it we may beable to remember what the weather was like that day or what the air felt like or maybe what we were doing. I think sometimes we appreciate pictures of landscapes more than we do just looking at the landscape.
