Poinseta's (or however you spell it)!


This is under-exposed obviously. It's almost black, except for a couple places.


This is my over-exposed photo...as you can see it's really over exposed.


This is my before photo. I chose to work on this photo because it didn't have a highlight that really drew your eye away from the picture as a whole.


As I was working on this picture, there was a highlight on the aluminum of flowers, and it was really hard to to get the leaves the right contrast without making the highlight going really light. Also just overall I really like the detail on this picture with the leaves.

Cereal Cereal I like Cereal!!

 
This photo i actually photoshopped at home. The original (which is what this one is) is really dark and i think under-exposed (right?). The tiles behind the bowl are white, and they look really grey. There are absolutly no whites in this picture at all. Although there is some dark, if you look in between the little cherios, you can see some darks, but whats the point with having darks if you have no lights?

When this picture looks like it's rightly exposed, it actually looks kind of cool. What I really like about this photo is the reflection of the glass bowl in the lower left corner. Also you can tell the tiles behind the bowl are white (Thank you white point!). In the original picture there are some white flecks or something in the cereal, i think it's just a reflection from the bowl, but it draws your eye so that you can't focus on the whole of the picture, so I took those out with the healing brush. Overall i think this is a cool picture, even though it not the most exciting of pictures.....(i mean who really wants to look at cereal all day?)

This is my image before i photoshopped it. As you can see it's really flat, like most of my photos. The snowman is originally white, and in this picture it looks more like gray. Also there aren't really any blacks. Also a thing that bothered me was that one of the angelhair's that was in front of his eye. Also there are a couple chips in his scarf that i took away in the "after" photo.










This is my picture after I photoshopped it. As you can see, it looks a lot better that the original. It has both white and blacks. You can actually tell that the snowman is white, and you can see the darkness under the tree. I took away a angelhair that was in the snowman's eye, and some chips that were in his scarf so that he looked like a brand new glass doll.

My Real First Photo That I Had No Help On!


This was my first photo that Ireally had no help on....well not mostly. I really like the highlights on this photo cause it's makes all the little beads on the apple and other fruit really sparkle. It's not quite in focus but I really liked this photo. Again this photo was really flat until I changed the highlights and shadows, and with them I think this is a really pretty photo, even if it is a little blurry.

My first photo


This isn't really my favorite photo but it's ok. It was really flat before we (mostly Mr. Slade, because I was sick and had to hurry and catch up) changed the white and black points and the curve. I still think it's kind of flat, but our house is kind of flat anyway.

I really like Lee Friedlander's pictures. He has really interesting photo's and really pretty nature shots. A lot of his photo's of people are really interesting because he captures the true person they really are.
