Schilling Spices

I thought the cracked paint look went well over top the old spice boxes. I did an overlay witha opacity of 40% and painted over the boxes in the background with a black paintbrush with 80% opacity to undo the textured effect on those boxes.

Night and Light

"Finger Painting"

Olympus SP 500 UZ 2/20/2011 Rexburg Id Apt. 9:17pm 10 sec f/5

Light Painting:

I had a little book light. I opened the shutter and shone it on my hand in the pointing position for just a second or two then blocked the light and put my hand down. Then I dragged the booklight from where my fingertip was around in a fast swirl to make it look like my finger painted the light.

My Capture Light Photo.

Jake held a flashlight with his hand over top of it for few seconds. Then he put the flashlight down and put his hands up in a cradling position.  I shone another light on his body for a second or two to illuminate his shirt and face. 

"Love and Kisses"

 Olympus SP 500 UZ 2/18/2011 Rexburg Id Apt. 9:44 pm 16 sec f/3.5

For this one I took the heart painting from the image below in Photoshop and dragged it onto this image. I chose "overlay" in the layers palette dropdown menu and it created a cute little picture. 

"LOVE"

 Olympus SP 500 UZ 2/20/2011 10:32pm  Rexburg Id Apt. 10 sec. f/6.3

For this one I took selected the letters with the quick select tool and saved that selection so I could eventually make it do a clipping mask effect to get the pink into the letters. I drug a pink part from the picture above this one in Photoshop and placed it over the letters. Then chose overlay in the layers palette drop down menu. Then I merged the text layer and the pink image layer. Then I loaded the selection I created earlier. Then I inversed the selection and hit option+delete. This deleted everything but the letters with the pink background.

"Apple Dreams"

Olympus SP 500 UZ 2/20/2011 Rexburg Id Apt. 12:49 am 10 sec f/4.0

This is my camera motion photo. I put the shutter on 10 seconds and held the camera in front of the apple image on the back of my laptop for probably three seconds. Then I turned my laptop so the screen light would shine on my pillow case and I just held the camera to look at the pillowcase for the rest of the time.  

Scanography

One Scan:

For these scans, I made paper sculptures and placed them on the scanner. This is so fun because you can create what looks like people flying through the air or whatever you like, and it's perfectly sharp and clear. 

Collage:

I took a scan of lip gloss and then made a cut out of that image and made a new photoshop document filled with a black rectangle with a transparent background and erased the shape of lips. Then I dragged the lipgloss image into it, and copied that layer several times until it filled up the lips.

Collage:

"Camera Man"

For camera man I scan these objects: a camera with it's neckstrap, an Apple Macbook Pro, and a gel pen.

In photoshop, I made these images into .png files and then transferred them to Adobe Illustrator and placed each of them into a 700 pixel-tall document. The camera and the laptop I just positioned them where I wanted them to be, but the pen I copied several of them together to form a mustache: I had the pen image selected, then hit "return" this brings up a window that allows you to move the image, copied, if you like. I typed in 4 pixels horizontally and 0 pixels vertically with the copy box checked. This would copy the pen and move it just a tad bit to the left. I repeated this aboot twenty times. Then I grouped all of those pens together by hitting Cmd+G and then copied and pasted the group of pens. For that copied group of pens I reflected it horizontally to make the mustache hairs go the other direction. To do that, I went on the Menu bar: Object>Transform>Reflect, and then chose horizontal. Then i positioned that group of mustache hairs where I wanted them on top of the other mustache hairs.

These are the separate scans:

This photo was one of my favorites, I hardly did any editing, in camera raw I bumped up the sats just a tad on her body, and in Photoshop selected her teeth with the magic wand and hit Cmd+u to change the take down the saturation and add just a touch of lightening. Also, I clipped off the top of her head when I snapped the shot, and I didn't like that at all so I used the content-aware fill tool. I changed the size of the canvas to allow for just a bit more headroom and selected the newly-made white space above her head  and hit Shift+delete and chose Content-aware fill to fill in a new white snowy background, then I used the clone stamp to make the top of her head, and this is how it turned out:

Pretty good!

On Tiffany, I cropped around her face for a more up-close look, and used the history brush tool on "screen" to lighten the whites of her eyes and the catch light, and then turned it to "multiply" to darken the edges of her iris, then used the saturation sponge tool to bring out her eyes just a tad more.

This photo of Tiff was edited to replace the color of her jacket. The original is blue. I thought a nice orangey-yellow would look good, too. I also brightened her teeth just a tad by selecting her teeth then hiting Cmd+u and taking down the saturation. Oh I also added a little bokeh by selecting everything but her and applying a slight gaussian blur.
