Instagram tutorials

For this capture I added a Lith print effect. I changed hue to 40 and saturation to 30. I added texture using the noise filter at 30% on a 30% opacity. And finally the vignette with simple oval and black layer, Softened around the edges with the eraser.

For the Lomograph effect I started with a radial blur 15 with zoom as the method. Use a soft brush to erase the effect over your subject. Add a vingette. Then played with the Red and Green color outputs to shift the color. Then add noise at 10 for amount.

How I Roll

.How I Roll.

I Roll with my friends and family. They are whats most important to me and thats why I chose them and these captures for this project. 

Glow Light

For the glowing light tutorial I used this capture of my friend jumping through the air. For the effect I added a new blank layer and added an outer blue glow and than I used the bamboo tablet to draw random strands. After that I tried to make it look like glass by erasing crisply and added fun under his foot to take up some empty space.

Music Project

For the music project I chose Feels Like We Only Go Backwards by Tame Impala. I cropped the photo into a square and used a blue filter. For the text I used a simple hand writing font with drop shadow and horizontal and vertical warp. I chose to use this picture with the song because the song feels like a long sad blurry day that you only slightly remember.

Nature Final

The overall theme of all four pictures is Nature.

 Edits: Simple black and white filter, clone stamp removal of back round jogger, and burn in the trees.

Space, there is a feeling of the man walking down the line slowly becoming smaller and smaller in space.

 Edits: Black and white filter, no other edits.

Texture, The twists in the barbed wire and the wooden post have distinct textures.

 Edits: Black and white filter, Clone stamp removal of power lines, and crop.

Form. The tree branches and trunks have a 3-D feeling.

Edits: Black and white filter, no other edits.

Line, the shadows of the two trees lead the eyes to the center and so do the branches of the tree.

Texture Layers, Opacity and Blending Modes

For the texture overlay I used a photo of rocks which I burned and darkened before pasting over the flower. Opacity at 75%. Than removed the texture from the bottom half of the image. I really think the rock texture adds an almost zen feel to the whole image.
