dodge and burn

In the first picture i used the dodge tool to add some contrast and make the dark areas in the picture stand out more. And in the second picture i focused on the dodge tool to try and add some highlights and illumination around mikeys feet. This is kind of an odd photo, and I really never knew what to do with it in the first place, but I suppose with a picture like this and how the colors turned out, all there is to do is keep doing different edits till something cool shows up!

layer one

Here is one of the first filters i did. pretty simple but still cool.

Macro Collage

 

This is from a while ago, but here is my macro collage. I have used the macro setting a lot more after this first experiance!

Cropping

This is a picture of a boardwalk near my aunt and uncles house. We had some nice days last week so my friends and I decided to hit the beach one last time before the winter rolls around. The top picture is the cropped version of a basic snap shot I took. Its really amazing how differently pictures can look after being cropped!

Landscapes

Here are some of my favorite landscape shots for this week. My best friend and I drove across and around the Golden Gate bridge on one of the only sunny days this month. I tried to do a panoramic shot, but I liked these individual ones better than the panoramic's I got.
