Layers

I created a duplicate layer, and saturated it, and played with the colour selection. Then I erased everything around the shoes, and flattened the layers. I blurred everything behind the cement block the shoes are on.

Heather's Beach

I blurred the water, and sharpened the rocks.

Peachland

I used the dodge and blur tool, to highlight the clouds, water, and beams of sunlight. Little contrast was used.

Black and White

 I played with the saturation for both, and the contrast and brightness. I sharpened (unsharp mask) the foot in the picture below also.

Converse

 

I used a Gaussian blur for everywhere around the shoe, and I used the 'unsharp mask' for the shoe itself.  Brightness, and contrast were used too.

Leading Lines, September 23, 2010

Leading lines; I used layers to point out the lines in a picture, by using the rectangular marquee tool (filling it, and using free transform", and the elliptical marquee tool.

Fire

Dyed hair, just contrasted, and I used the history brush.

Zombie

Lips were coloured, brush lines were drawn on with 3% flow, and the hair was whitened. In the end, everything was slightly darkened, and contrasted.

Duotones - Portrait, September 21

Blurred background, sharpened foreground.

Layers - Correction, September 21

This is a picture where I had to make the rainbow appear more dramatic, and sharpen the windmills in the background. I had to flatten the layers, and fix the levels.

Safe

Lets face it, this was never what you wanted.
I’ll always be the broken picture in your frame.
Never to be fixed, just forgotten.
I’d dedicate my days to you,
But now we cant even make one good memory.
Wrongly accused, it’s just something I’ve gotten used to.
I would do anything for you.

This place doesn’t feel like home,
Yet it’s all I’ve ever known.
You’re the inspiration for my tears to flow.
Creativity is pouring out of them, cant you see their rainbow?
But you’ll never know any of this,
Because you’re always the first to go.
Off the phone, and off the show.
I would do anything for you.

I swear you can see me fall,
Ignoring it because I’m just not worth it.
You will never see me cry,
You’re going around, always fucking high.
Come down for a visit sometime,
Maybe you would see how I feel inside.

I just hope I find you again,
I’ve lost everything I’ve ever known,
But I don’t know if I can handle you being gone.
I hope you know,
I would do anything for you.


I WROTE THIS, IT IS MINE.
