Week Ten

Above: Clone Tool, again.

I am always messing around with the clone tool. It has been one of my favorite tools since I was introduced to it back in high school. I had difficulty finding a photograph that I hadn't already used the clone tool with. I find it best to use when I went to get rid of something that I feel takes away from the image, like a power line, or piece of garbage etc. I wanted to do something a little more difficult so that's whats showing above in the first three photographs. I wanted to make a photomontage, in spirit of just writing my essay on Jerry Uelsnmann. :) It's a little rough around the edges. I used the clone tool again, a little more simpler on the last two photos. The text tool is a fun tool. I use it when I make calenders. I usually write a quote for each month. I found this quote on google, and found it matched the photo well. The paint tool is not a tool I've used before. I had fun with it. Made the image look more urban looking to me. I changed the opacity to 30% and selected multiple colors to give the photo range. 

Week Nine

Once I started messing around with the filters I remembered I use to use this technique when I was younger to make calenders. Two of my favorites are the warming filter and the watercolor filter. So that is what I used. The sunset I used the watercolor filter and for the puppy the warming filter. Its very hard to take pictures of my puppy she is constantly running around like crazy. Literally, in circles outside or inside, wherever she can go. I managed to capture a photo of her running towards me; she's my little baby :) ...and she warms me up :). For the sunset I just felt it was appropriate like a beautiful painting I would see.
