Car Umbrella

Edits:
I took two shots one of the car and then the second of the umbrella. I cloned in the umbrella and placed it on top of the car. I adjusted the levels and then made the rain. Rain:new layer, make background black, added noise: monochromatic, guasian, 100% then added motion blur at a 90 degree and distance at a 100%, adjusted levels, and then screen blending mode. I then had the rain look so I decided to mask out the car and reduced opacity other parts where umbrella covered. I used the magic wand tool and grabbed the umbrella - then did replace color and changed the color to pink. I brightened up the car alone and left the back ground a little darker.

Car Umbrella Rexburg, ID

f/5.6 - 1/20 - ISO 200 natural light with a Nikon D5000

Originals:

{Fish Market} Salt Lake City, UT

Edits: adjusted curves and added a color burn vignette.

Directions for photo merging:
1. Use a tripod to take several side-by-side images of the same scene. Be sure to overlap each image with at least 25% from the previous image.
2. In Photoshop, go to File-Automate-Photomerge. Under Layout, choose Auto or Perspective. Then Browse to your folder of images and select all images at once (click the first one, hold shift, then click the last image). Be sure "Blend images together" is checked. Hit OK.
3. Wait for the magic to happen.
4. Once your images are blended, you will need to use the crop tool (with no numbers in the pre-set) to crop out the blank edges.
5. Edit as desired. Inspect your image blend closely to see if you need to use the clone stamp to clean up anything. You can add adjustment layers to improve the levels or saturation, etc.

(for this location i actually took 360 degree shots but the images didn't blend as i had planned... so the only way i could get the shot to look decent was to use less images blending)

Edits: adjusted levels and saturation and added a linear burn vignette with a reduced opacity at 13%.

Photo Book Template

By the end of this semester we have to make a photo book with our work. So for this assignment we were asked to design a page layout for the book. I used the already made template made by Sister Esplin and added my own touches (colors, damask, quote, and my pictures). I used the clipping mask tool to place my picture inside of the set frame which makes it a lot easier to fit the picture inside.
