cut outs



Don't step here: 
4-27-10; 9am; 
Royal Crest; 
f/2.8; 1/400; 
Cannon PowerShot SD1200 IS. 
For This photo, I tried to take it from a different angle. This is a caution cone left out at my complex.  
This is a partial cutout with quick selection tool, then refined edges on white.



Christmas in April: 
4-27-10; 9am; 
Royal Crest 216; 
f/2.8; 1/40; 
Cannon PowerShot SD1200 IS. 
For This photo, I used the Marco setting. It is one single christmas light in my apartment, and I thought it would cool by itself.  
This is a complete cutout with quick selection tool, then refined edges on white.

Past Photos

So these are my Past photos!  The oldest is from 2006, and the newest are from 2009.  I guess I don't take pictures as much as I use to :).  I tried to pick different types, such as close ups, photoshopped, and nature.  I'm not really sure what else to say, except I'm excited to get better at taking photos.   


Little walker: 5-25-09; 11am; Layton Utah; f/2.8; 1/50; Canon PowerShot SD1100IS; Blur filter on background, -77 desaturation on everything but his shirt and eyes, then I used the vibrant filter to make those things brighter.  

Get Connected: 7-21-08; 1pm; Ricks Gardens; f/2.8; 1/50; Kodak V530; I didn't do anything extra to the photo, It was just a really beautiful summer day.  I really like using different angles, so for this one I'm laying on my stomach on the higher platform of grass, while everyone else is down on the lower level.
Jenni: 6-27-09; 10am; Yellowstone; f/4.8; 1/500; Kodak V530; I used the zoom technique. When I took this picture I was also in Brother Wyeth's class.  He showed us Sister Esplin's  waterfall example and about using the zoom to make the backdrop seem closer, so I thought I'd try it out.  In reality the waterfall was much further away.  Besides the zoom, I didn't do much else, no photoshop was used in any!


One pink rose: 3-28-06; 10am; Idaho falls (my backyard); f/2.8; 1/580; Nikon E4300; I took this one in highschool, when I was really into photoshop.  These are roses I got from prom.  I'm not sure exactly what I did, but I'm guessing that I cut out the pink rose and the stem, and put in on the top layer.  Then I desaturated all of the background.  The color of the rose is the actual color.  Also I'm pretty sure I used the macro button on the camera.
let there be light: 4-1-09; 11pm; BYU-Idaho Stadium; f/2.8; 1/8; Cannon Powershot SD790 IS; The only thing I did to This photo was straighten it, from where I was standing on the bleachers was a little crooked.  I took this one really late at night, before they turned off the track lights.  Then I had my friend stand in the middle of the field.  I think it turned out neat, probably not one of my very best, but one of the coolest!  I really like the blinding light, and the detail of the chairs. Also I like that it was at night.  I don't remember if I used my flash or not.
