1. This was taken right next to a window to show some nice lighting. I wanted to take a photo that would show some personality. I liked that there weren't any really strong colors to distract from the photo.
2. Taken from a distance, this photo is of my girlfriend Bethany posing for me even though it was cold. I liked that the greens were all around her, yet the focus is still on her.
1. This was a photo I did for a client at work. I was asked to restore it and decided to do a little more and worked with adding some color.
2. I used the tutorial from I-learn and set the background as blue instead of white.
I just did a simple border on this picture to accent the colors that are already in it. I didn't want to do anything too dramatic, since that might take away from the image itself.
I applied a rough border on this one using the brush tool.
1. This was shot through the window of the car, it was done without a tripod, but when it turned out I liked that the lines weren't perfectly straight.
2. This was taken at the Gateway in SLC. The shot had some little girls running through it but they didn't show up with the long exposure. The fountains weren't going at the same time, but they seem to be in the picture.
3. Taken outside of the Conference Center in SLC, this shot was at a red light, the long exposure made the appearance that they were moving really fast, even though they were just starting after the red light.
4. The lights turned out really nice in this one, even though I didn't have a tripod, the shot came out the way I wanted.
Linking the above photos into one photo makes the picture below. I lowered the default saturation and also leveled up the vivid colors just a little bit. I tried the picture with more saluration and also more vivid colors the first time, but then decided that it looked too fake, even though the colors were very bright and interesting.
1. I shot this looking out of the Hotel, i though it looked like a nice angle to show the barber shop. I also made this into an HDR shot.
2. One of the buildings up on the hill, i thought it looked nice with the hill in the background, and the colors seemed to work nicely.
3. This is my ghost shot. I took it inside the hotel, i left my hand there for a few seconds and then removed it to make the illusion that my hand is ghost-like.
4. I zoomed in all the way for this shot to create the illusion of a shallow depth of field. It seemed to work nice and i tried to compose it in a nice way.
5. For my motion shot i chose to do the merry-go round. I think it was the only thing there that i saw moving. I purposely made it blur only a little bit, so that you could still tell what it is.
6. Close up of a log by the jail.
7. Jason posed nicely for this one, i took several angles and this one seemed to turn out the best.
