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. 

"Black Magic Steel"

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.
