Malia at Museum

This picture was taken at a photo museum and I used for my photography final as well. A little background info. Malia refused to get out of her pajamas that day and so ended up going to this museum with me on my class field trip. We were there early and I used that time to take pictures of her and the scenery. She also used that time to take pictures using my iPhone. So I ended up using these shots for the "outdoor product" part of the final. My professor checked this photo out before I turned it in and said that the iPhone wasn't recognizable. So using my Photoshop skills, I took pictures of the front page of my iPhone and inserted into the picture of photo of Malia seen here. For full impact, I'll show both the before and after.

Black & white Boat





This picture I actually used in my photography final, however my my professor suggested that I make it black and white and bring back the color in just the boat and the flag. So I did just that. So here are the before and after.

Fighting Geese





In attempts to get suitable pictures for my photography final, I ended up with some notable mentions that didn't make the cut.
Now that the pond near my house is thawing, the geese and ducks are returning. I think this particular goose is defending his girlfriend. He was making quite a racket before flying over and making his point a different way.

Graphic Design final





This is my final for this term. I basically had to do an electronic portfolio. So I have a front page and three sub-pages that I linked to the front page. Since this was not a web design class, it was a simple link using Adobe professional. They are not linked here however. These are just the images.

Black & white


I was trying to use this picture in my montage picture and ended up using something else. However, I learned how to bring back just a little color in a black and white photo. Tres Cool!

Stamp and Billboard



In this assignment, we needed to make a stamp and a billboard using the same picture. For the billboard one, I actually had to take a picture of a billboard and insert my billboard picture on it. In trying to find a billboard to take a picture of, I realized how very few billboards there are here in New Hampshire.

Cool Effects


Here is a lab that I did where I had to do 5 different effects to one photo. Top left, I put tv scan lines onto the photo. On the one in the very middle, I put a radial motion blur on it to give the effect of the leaves being blown around. Top right, the effect is subtle. I changed the color of Malia's right glove and the ladder to the slide. She had a missed matched pair of gloves that day. I made them both red in that picture. On the pictures on the bottom, I gave them different types of edges. The one on the right has a "painted" edge and the one on the left has edge made from different types of filters.
