surreal photos

1. The tool I used the most was the brush tool.
2. The best part of my composition is where the rocks the hikers are on blend into the hair.
3. It took some time to detail are the edges of the hikers. There were many mistakes made that forced me to restart from different points.
4. I could have used some other tools to blend them together better or made more edits such as adding shadows.


Here's a better edit

bottle

I learned what a clipping mask does, how to use the warp tool, and another way to make shadows.
I had 27 layers.
I liked this assignment because it looks cool.

speed challenge

I admired the color, texture, and reflections that Stone used.

I like the broad view that my shot gives.
I think it's amazing because the shot allowed my editing to enhace it's color.
I used vibrance.
This challenge was enjoyable to me.
I used color and harmony.

Abstract images

1) My favorite shot is the last one. It's actually hair but it's pretty hard to tell what it is.
2) This photo shows clear texture, form, and shape.
3) The photo shows pattern and rhythm.
4) The first image and filter combination is my favorite since the image looks like bark but with a filter it looks like something that could be used for a movie poster.

eye shots

landscape

1. Yes, I used the rule of thirds. I emphasized it with the land. 
2. I used balance between the field and the hills.
3. My image was taken around 9:30 A.M. It wash't a great time to take the shot but I didn't have much of a choice.
4. I angled the camera downward to place the field in the foreground and keep the hills and sky as a blending background.

1) I think that the channel mixer method produced the best result.

2) Each image had a large value range.

macro lens shots

1) Using the macro lens was really cool. My shots all turned out awesome.

2) My favorite shot is the second one because it looks like a reptile.
3) The third shot shows the best use of the rule of thirds.
