hoax photoshop

 This is my favorite animal hoax. I used my face and cut out the lions and put mine on it. it doesn't very real but its funny.

 This one doesnt look the most realistic either but the possum head fit perfectly on the tree kangaroo so i figured it was ment to be.

 This is a picture of the rare cat-lion-seal. He's pretty cute and has a nice head of hair.

This is a grumpy cat sloth. This one was kinda hard to do because the sloth was upside down.

portrait examples

 This is an example of a background not included portrait. I like this example because its really easy to focus on the main subject and not get distracted with a lot of things in the back ground.

 This picture is an example of a low key portrait. I have never really seen pictures like this before and i really like it!  The lighting really makes this style stand out.

This is an example of a back ground included picture. i think if the background wasn't blurry it would take away from the main subject. This picture is men t to tell a story about the subjects life.

Fences

 Living on a farm its easy to find lots of fences.  I like this picture because its a different angle than a person would normally see a fence.

 This picture is probably my favorite because it has lots of different wires on it so it makes it more interesting to look at.

I like the barn in the back round of this photo and how the fence posts frame the barn. I wish the sun was up a little higher but i still like this picture.

This is another one i like because of the old wires, it really show it is old because the cows ran through it so many times over the years so there are plenty of wires.

open theme. SNOW!

I thought since it finally snowed it would be a good idea to make that the theme of my open theme assignment. I really like this picture because of my kitty's facial expression, he looks so serious. I also like how the sun is hitting him and the shadow it made.

Land of Giants

I really enjoyed this assignment. I thought it would be really hard but it actually was pretty easy and didn't take me long to do at all. I think the angels work well and it looks like I'm actually that little. This assignment helped me learn more about making a realistic photo shoped pictures and how to put in fake shadows.

Best of November...

 This is one of my favorites from November. The main reason i like it is the colors, they remind me of fall. This picture was taken for the abandoned assignment.

This picture is one of my favorites because i like taking pictures of old things. i chose to put a antique filter on it would make it a little more interesting and make the texture in the plowed field show a little more.

I also really like this picture. i like the single yellow board in it and all the other boards on it holding it together, it really goes with the abandoned theme i took this picture for.

I like the lighting in this picture. I took it to show texture because i like the wood and metal texture together, but i think the lighting is what makes the picture.

This is my favorite shot of November. It was taken to represent abandoned. I boosted the color a little bit to make the grasses stand out more and i also darkened it to make the left corner with the sun in it less burnt out.

CD Case

This assignment was a lot harder than i thought it would be. My favorite part of it is the back. I didn't really know what reggae music was before this assignment, but its a very interesting music type.

Open theme (CATS!)

 This is my sister's cat, Lumpy. Shes a pretty angry cat so its weird to get a picture of her looking happy! I like the old wood steps she is sitting on so there is a more plain back round.

some of my favorite professionals

 These first three pictures are taken by Walker Evans. I really like looking at them because he took many pictures during the great depression and it makes me see what life was like then. His pictures make me feel sad, but they make me think of my Grandpa. I also like his pictures because they show just everyday day things from life back then.

 These last three pictures are taken by Jim Brandenburg. I really love his work because of all the beautiful nature shots. He took many pictures for National Geographic. They make you feel like you are there even though you will probably never get to see it in person. I love looking through his photos because some are very simple and some are elaborate but some how they are all interesting to look at.

texture

 Old wood is perfect for this assignment because over time it wears away and leaves a nice rough surface. This picture would be very boring if it wasn't for the lovely texture.

 These next two pictures are of an old piece of farm equipment that my grandpa put in the woods many years ago. To be honest i have no idea what it even is but it has some neat pieces to it. I like the way the light is hitting it and the old rust colors.

Abandoned

For this assignment we got to shoot abandoned things. I really enjoyed it because I like taking pictures of old things and outside pictures so this was perfect for me. This is my favorite shot for this assignment. I like it because the old barn has holes where the windows used to be and there is an old clothes line that ivy is growing on. I think it makes you wonder how the barn used to be when it was once new and being used.

This is another one of  my favorites because it looks so mysterious. I like the little bit of old red paint still on the top of the barn and the way the light is hitting the inside of the barn. I wish i could have gotten the reds on the barn to pop out more but that is as good as i could get it.

This is another one I love. I mostly like it for the colors in it.  However, it also makes me think, this door probably hasn't been opened for years and it was more than likely used everyday when there was still cows on the property and now it just sits empty.  So this picture also makes me feel sad in a way.

Re-edits

I chose to make this picture black and white and boost the color a little bit. I think it looks a lot better than the kind of yellow tint it had before from shooting right at the sun.

 I chose to crop this picture and make it sharper because before the grasshopper was barely visible and it was just a plain picture of corn. Now its a nice close up of a grasshopper.

This was probably my hardest to edit. I liked the way it was before with color too. I think it looks good both ways though. 

AnImAl MoRpH

I really liked the animal morph assignment. At first i thought it would be really hard to do but it wasn't. the most difficult part was trying to get all the skin off the eyes but not take any lashes with it. In the end it turned out pretty well.

best of

How can you not love a kitty picture? thats why its one of my favorites and also be cause its a nice close up of he eye and whiskers. The curly fur gives the picture some nice texture also.

 This is another one of my favorites. Cows are one of my favorite animals to take pictures of because the are so curious.I saw this one day before school while the cows were out in the pasture and i just had to take a picture of them.

I like this one because  of the lighting, without the  lighting this picture would be pretty ugly. 

This is probably my favorite of all.  I like the fog in the back round and the colors of the trees in the line and also the reflections, so pretty much everything.

I really like the sky in this picture. However I think without the poles in  this picture it would be just another sunset picture.
