Filter

This is a photo I took this weekend....What do you think?

On the above photo I applied a sepia filter and I also played around with many more, My biggest challenge on this photo is how to remove the excess glare of his over exposed shirt.  Any suggestions?

This is one I cartooned and I actually like the definition better. Although the lighting in this image still seems off to me.  I did try to play around with it more but I wasn't really pleased with my results.

This is the original....ok, ok I lied the below is the original ;)

yup...it's eye play, angles, and a good ole uprooted tree! the over exposure I could have done with out but don't blame the camera this time...it was a rushed shot and I got so overwhelmed thinking of the out come I over looked my exposure time and well....glare intense glare but overall I love the shot!

Color Edits

I chose to do a couple different color edits on the same picture to show how you can manipulate one photo to have a different feel.

 The above is a custom color I created by adjusting the colors for the shadow and highlights.  I think this one is my favorite.

 This was the original photo

This was a black and white or color removal.  I removed the color to create a grey scale effect.








This was an attempt at layers and light.....still figuring out GIMP

GIMP

After Struggling with GIMP I've come to realize I need to re download it. I have lost all my tool bars :( here is a photo that I cropped, color corrected, and filtered. Below is a similar photo, the original one is permanently over wrote :/ but you get the drift....

Landscape

Landscapes are some of my favorite to shoot, another reason why I am so anxiously awaiting my new camera!

 These 2 photos where taken same time same day...different angles and one framed.  However I like the detail in the above shot more and wish I would have played with the shot more.

 This is my favorite landscape of the weekend! It's the shot I look forward to taking every year. Even with most of our squad missing this year we still managed to take up two parking spots.  We all cram shoulder to shoulder to watch the parade in Woodsville NH.  We dress up and look tacky, we embody the red, white, and blue.  There is more than just tradition, more than memories; it's our future too.  It's the ones who jump for candy that will one day remember these times with family and wake at a ridiculous hour, gather their offspring and come spend this time with the ones who love them most....Family
