iPhone photo of the day

Okay so this is similar to the four piece photo of Dean, I used Plastic Bullet to create the various effects and Diptic to piece them together in a different style to the one of Dean, I like this one because each piece is needed in order to see the image.

Adobe Photoshop CS5: Vibrance

Okay first off I love the shot, Dean took it on his Olympus camera when we went on our epic Sydney adventure and stopped in at the Chinese Gardens. I've uploaded an iPhone photo of the day of this shot. I have uploaded both the original shot and my edited shot. As noticeable, I have adjusted the vibrance of the colours, enhancing their saturation. Except due to the limited size and resolution that blogger has on my photo uploads, parts such as changing my eyes to a shade of green are not so noticeable.

Adobe Photoshop CS5: Threshold

I recently got Adobe Photoshop CS5 so I have been mucking around with a heap of the features, in

particular its range of adjustments.

In these photos I have experimented

with the threshold while adjusting hue and saturation to gain more control over the dark and light areas.

This photo was fun to work with, this was when I realized that by adjusting different colours hue and saturation instead of adjusting the master colours, I was able to produce dark areas in places I wanted, such as the hand outline.

This one was somewhat difficult due to a house in the background but I managed to remove it whilst still keeping the detail in the face and mouth. The dark spots around the eyes/nose area are the hardest to control yet I managed to keep it tame.

This one took ages, the original photo was taken using my laptop webcam which is the crappiest resolution ever. The photo was so poor quality that the main part of my t-shirt had to be discarded, getting my hair to not turn into a giant black blob was pretty hard which led me to using two threshold adjustment layers to balance a clear and evident face.

This one was pretty fun to muck around with, I practiced with adjusting the hue of the greens to keep the tree from turning into a massive black blob, an the yellows and reds in the face and hands.

The photos of Dean were taken on my iPhone

This was taken by Dean on our epic Sydney adventure, here we are at the Chinese Gardens. In really amazed by this shot, Dean makes an amazing photographer, I first used Tilt Shift Generator to create the focus point, Plastic Bullet to create the effect and Photo Wizard to adjust the exposure etc and add a dreamy effect. I'm pretty proud of this photo.
