Filters

 

For the top photos I did a little crop and added oil painting filter along with solarized filter to give it an interesting look. I really like what the solarized look did to this photo

 

 

For the lake Photo I cropped the picture and added Spherize and pointillize filters to make it an interesting touches to the photo. When I cropped this photo I thought about taking the tree out on the right, but after adding the filters I'm glad that I didn't do that now.

 

Light & Color

The top is the altered one, I added some contrast to get the back ground a bit darker and it also brought out the shadows more. With the darker background I think it helps to focus on the Seagull more and enhances him more.

The top two are edited, I had fun playing with these! the first one Is color negative and I thought it was really neat and wanted to share.  The second one I added Strong saturation which really brightened up all the colors, some almost to much but at the same time it enhanced the reflection off the water

Cropping



Landscapes

 

 

I found this to be a bit tricky especially from my house and trying not to use the same scene I've used in the past. Finally I just ended up driving around my town and when I saw something that looked good I took a picture! the top photo is from silver lake the second photo is from Old Orchard Beach Maine, and the third water photo is from Lake Dunmore. The other photos are just random shots but they caught my eye! where I live its mostly country scenes so that's what I worked with for the most part just in a different location.

Frames Week 5

So this was a bit of a challenge to find picture with a frame to enhance them and some of these may not be exactly correct! and there was a couple that I had from previous pictures that I added. Most of my photos were just taken around here there was a few that I went and took at a different location. I pretty much walked around and looked to see what views would look like they were enhanced by a "frame". When I walked around my house I'm surrounded by the country so most of the photos I choose were of trees and mountains. The one of the apple tree worked out really nice because his face is framed by branches. Then there are the cows I just love the pictures of them looking at me wondering what I was doing! I especially love the one that is like a door to get to them and they are just standing there looking. enjoy the photos!
