These are some pictures I took a little earlier on this semester. I decided they would be the best to use for cutouts. I really enjoyed learning how to use refine edge it helped out a lot. I've done a lot of cutting out for different advertising assignments and I wish I had know about this earlier. I didn't actually do any other edits to these shots. I just took them as were. hehe.

I had so much fun with this assignment! I love night and light shots. I did a smart sharpen on the shots  with Joe and Allen. This actually makes the glow sticks look pretty cool too. With the picture of Joe jumping I added some contrast as well. I did some cropping on Allen's picture to focus it on the important part of the picture. Oh and on Light Tracks I add some brightness for the trees. On Light Race I bumped up the vibrancy which helped the background color. Hope you all enjoy!

This is my picture that I used for the Poster. It printed as a 36x24 in a black frame. I took it out in Hibbard during the beginning of the semester on the Flora Fauna trip.

Photolusion

1. Photolusion - Shooting Lights: 11/1/10; 10:22pm; Rexburg, Id; 2sec; f/4.0; Canon Rebel Xs

2. Brake Lights: 11/1/10; 10:20pm; Rexburg, Id; 1.3sec; f/4.0; Canon Rebel Xs

3. Will in Intersection: 11/1/10; 10:22pm; Rexburg, Id; 2sec; f/4.0; Canon Rebel Xs

Photolusion was kind of hard for me to think of. This kind of just happened. I decided to do some night photography and I was walking home from doing it and decided to get some brake light shots streaking across the scene. I looked at the Brake Lights picture on my camera and decided I needed to run out and do something in the middle of the intersection. I had to wait a couple minutes before there weren't any cars there. I had a ten second timer so I set it then ran and I held pretty darn still for a 2 second shutter speed. Afterwards in photoshop I bumped up the brightness but masked out the lights part. Photolusion is all around good times.

This was a hard assignment. I missed class on Tuesday so I didn't know about it until Thursday so I had some make up to do. I really did enjoy shooting however, seeing that it was Halloween weekend. I loved doing the night photography with the leaves and the self portrait. It was hard to get myself in the depth of field but I did it. I tried to use a clipping mask but it didn't work so I ended up just adjusting the frames with the pictures and it turned out well. Below is the template I used.
