I chose this image because it made me think of summer and things being alive, it also really reminded me of Mont, who I love. I took this picture by getting as close as I could, which was still kind of far away, and then zooming in. I wanted to get the reflection as well as the the flower and lily pads, so I was careful to leave enough room for the reflection to fit into the picture.  The editing I did on this was pretty basic. I adjusted the saturation to make the blue and green brighter. I adjusted the levels quite a lot because the flower in the middle was a little blown out, so I adjusted it until the flower was where I wanted it to be, then I went and masked out the areas that didn't need as much darkening. I used a smart filter to sharpen up the image. I sharpened it the most on the flower so that would be the main focus of the picture.  

Week 8, Night and light

5. Slide: 11/2/2011, 9:34pm; Porter Park; f/3.3; 8.0sec; Panasonic DMC-LZ8

I didn't do any editing on any of these except for the last one, there was a ghost Rebekah in the slide picture, so I used the paint brush at a low opacity, and by matching the color to the background I painted over myself so I wasn't blocking any of the picture. You can still kind of tell where I was though. On all the picture I used a really slow shutter speed, and held the camera still on a tripod, except for the fourth picture. This one I used a slow shutter speed, pointed the camera at a lamp post, and moved my camera around as I was taking the picture. 

Week 8, Fine Art Template

1. Salt Lake: 9/30/2011, 11:13am; Salt Lake City UT; f/5.9; 1/1000sec; Panasonic DMC-LZ8
2. Daisy: 10/6/2011, 10:51am; Rexburg, BYU-Idaho; f/5.8; 1/125sec; Panasonic DMC-LZ8

I started out by creating a template for both pictures. I started with a white background and added black rectangles on a new layer. Then I got a separate layer to stamp my signature on it, I put it on a separate layer so it would be easy to change and adjust the opacity. Then I added type, and changed it to the font and size I wanted it at.  The I added the picture, I had already adjusted the pictures by changing the levels and adjusting the saturation. I also cropped the pictures to be the same size as the template, I changed the size to so the ppi was the same as the templates (150ppi). Then I selected the picture, and dragged it into the template picture. Then I selected create clipping mask and adjusted the picture to where I wanted it to be. After that I changed the background color and signature color so it would go better with the individual picture.
