Poster Blog

This is the image for my final poster. It was the last image I took at Bannack. As I was looking back at probably the coolest place to shoot I have ever been, I saw this. I quickly set up my tripod and took this image.

In Photoshop, I created a black and white layer and then tinted it red, making it sepia toned. After that I painted back in the sage brush giving it a nice soft contrast.

I printed it for my sister from Wal-Mart. And I bought the frame in Porters.

Fine Art Template

Edes; 5/22/11; 7:30 pm; Rexburg; f/2.9; 1/30; Kodak Easyshare M1073 IS

In Photoshop I created a design template with shaping masks and turned the image of Eden into clipping mask. I placed her behind the boxes. The polka dots were made by using shape masks. I filled them with colors from little Eden’s outfit.

For the diner template, I used my Late Night Snack Shack shot (Nielsen's Frozen Custard; see anterior post) and used a brush tool to create the color blend with the text.

1. Late Night Snack Shack; 6/10/11; 10:03 pm; Porter Park, Rexburg; f/5.6; 2.0; Kodak Easyshare M1073 IS

I love frozen custard. Enough said. To help inspire this shot I got a vanilla concrete with brownie chunks. I love the colors of the neon from this restaurant and I thought it would make a great background for this shot. I did not edit this shot.

2. Primary Colors are 1,2,3; 6/9/11-6/10-11; 10:30-11:00 pm; My Apt. Rexburg; all with f/2.0; all with 4.0 shutter speed; Kodak Easyshare M1073 IS

These were all different shots that I combined into one in Photoshop. I did a bunch of different motions to help create an interesting design. I had the end product in mind while doing these shots. In Photoshop, after I combined all the lights, I changed the color of a few using the Color Balance tool under the Image-Adjustment tab.

3. M is for Moon; 6/9/11; 11:15 pm; Stone Brook, Rexburg; f/5.6; 4.0; Kodak Easyshare M1073 IS

I zoomed in for this shot so that the moon was bigger on my screen. Put the moon in the corner and I drew the “M” from there. I did not edit this shot in Photoshop.

4. Door to Where?; 6/10/11; 10:15 pm, Macey’s Room, My Apt; f/2.9; 4.0; Kodak Easyshare M1073 IS

I could only find one LED flashlight for this shot. I had to move fast, to paint just certain parts of the door. I put two sheets of paper over the flashlight and painted from a few different angles, but like I said, with only four seconds I had to work fast. This was not edited in Photoshop.

Edge Effects

Motorbike; 6/7/11, 3:30 pm, Stone Brook Apts, Rexburg; f/4.0; 1/250; KODAK EASYSHARE M1073 IS

Temple; 6/7/11, 11:15 pm, Rexburg; f/5.6; 1/250; KODAK EASYSHARE M1073 IS

Bannack Cabin; 5/25/11, 12:10 pm, Bannack Montana; f/5.6; 1/250; KODAK EASYSHARE M1073 IS

In Photoshop I added the edges. For the motorbike I created a blue and yellow adjustment layer. I got the colors from the motorcycle. I used a brush to paint back in the image and alternated masks to create the double color effect. For the temple I made a new layer with a solid color and using the rectangular marquee tool I created a flexible vignette. For the cabin I created a new layer using the multiply blending mode. I had to use it twice to really get the dark colors. I then used the rectangular marquee tool to make a border to bring back in the original image.

Scans

All scans were done on the Epson Stylus NX110 all-in-one printer/scanner. They received no edits in photoshop.

The Wocket in my Pocket:

Tie Collage:

Publish PostI chose these things to scan because of the bright colors and contrast that they provide. The Wocket provided an interesting texture for the scan. I tried to fit all my ties onto the scanner but there were just too many.
