This one was fun, because everything I learned here was new to me. I took this image on a tripod but loosened my screw so that I was able to twist the camera instead of the Tripod. I took six images and placed them in photoshop using Photomerge, it took a while because of the file size. ...

I took these pictures in the Benson Greenhouse. I wanted to try and get them from a unique angle. These two were my favorite shots, however they still needed to be edited. I edited both photos in Camera Raw. On both of the photos, I found a cactus and then I brought it into Camera Raw I brought up the contrast and brightness. I also sharpened the image and boosted the vibrance. On Maze, I used the paint brush tool to darken the background the add more contrast. On Path, I used the brush tool to lighten the leaves, darken the background and darken the steam. I found it was so much faster to do...

Levels Original Adjustment Layer Date: 5-06-2011; Rexburg, Idaho; F-Stop: 5.7; Shutter Speed: 1/2700; Focal Length: 55.0mm; Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i For this photo I purposely focused on a lot of light before I captured the shot, so it would show up darker and I could edit it in Photoshop. I used a large aperture to put direct focus on the parrot and blur the background. I brought this photo into Photoshop and used an adjustment layer (non destructive editing). I used the Levels Tool and lightened the whole picture, added contrasts and lightened the midtones. I really wanted...

I loved how the beautiful the temple looked with the sky. So I decided to get some pictures of the Temple. I used a small aperture so that I could get the whole temple sharp and in focus. I did not want the Temple to be a silhouette, because the sun was directly behind it, so I focused on the ground first and then took the picture of the Temple. I merged these three images together by first opening the photos Storm and The House of the Lord in a separate Photoshop document. Then I used the channels to select a proportion of the images. I drug the photo onto the Temple photograph and then I...
