Little Toy

Our assignment was to take pictures of a little toy during the 5-day break. I decdied to take pictures of my UCLA Bruins keychain (UCLA > USC) and I brought it around with me. Thursday I was at home, so I took a picture of the keychain at the windows in my hallway. Friday I knew to Los Angeles, and on the plane I did my government homework. I used photoshop to make the picture blue and yellow with a gradient filter. Saturday I was in Santa Monica and decided to take a picture of my toy with the beach and palm trees in the background. Sunday I was on a party bus, and I like that most of the picture is black because I think it creates a mysterious atmosphere. Monday I flew back to SFO and I took a picture of my toy next to the airplane window.

Fantasy Photoshop

The first picture is made by coping and pasting another picture onto the landscape picture. The second two pictures are made by blending two pictures together. I choose to make the background black and white for the copy and paste image because it puts more emphasis on Alex. I put a flower on the piano, but I like that the opacitiy isn't 100% so that it looks like it's slightly there. I lovelovelove the blended image of Rachel and the seniors at the Welcome Rally. I choose those two picture because they go together and the effect of blending them looks really good. I loved the two blended pictuers because they look like ghosts. I enjoyed making the blended pictures more than the copy and paste images.

Fish eye

We did the fish eye effect in photo shop. I liked how it makes the pictures looks like snowglobes. The peoples' faces looks a little distorted, but the picture still looks nice. The same thing happened to the flower, but the fish eye effect still looks good on this image.

The Big Shot was taken at Heritage Park in Burlingame.
