WELCOME!

Welcome to my Photography, Design, and Everything Else blog. I am a photographer for fun (meaning I don't know too much of what I am doing) and an aspiring graphic design artist. I have always been somewhat interested in photography but really started getting more into it after I had my son. Last Christmas I got my first Sony SLR Camera and the world of photography hasn't been the same since. I still don't know too much but the fact that I can now take some clear pictures works good enough for me. Upon following a few photography blogs I started to realize that even if you don't take a perfect photo, you can create one through photo editing. DUH! I started to become interested and learning new things through video tutorials. This re-sparked a interest I always had for graphic design. I dont have much time to go back to school right now so I have been self-teaching myself as much as I can. Since then I have begun to make flyers, business cards, and magazine ads for the store/dispensery 4ever20. I started this blog as a way to share some of my work with the world and so you can follow along on my learning journey to not only become a better photographer but graphic design artist as well. Along the way I will also be sharing whatever else I think I need to at the time. ENJOY!

Fix-It-Friday: Puddy

>> Friday, October 23, 2009

So today was Fix-It-Friday over at I ♥ Faces. I haven't remembered or had time to do any of these lately but today I had the chance. To tell you the truth I cant remember much of exactly what I did but I can try to explain.

BEFORE:




AFTER:


So the first thing I did was lighten the whole photo. This allowed me to get rid of the shadow [or lighten it] that was over his face. Of course we want to see his beautiful face. I then Just used the COLOR POP action from MulletGod on his sweatshirt and on the puddy to make them stand out some. Next I used Selective Color to make the puddy more green and glowing. Then I simply added a texture on the background. ALL DONE!

How easy was that. The main thing was to just get the shadow off of his face. Once that was done the picture was alreayd ten times better.
