Borders

"Yellow Flower"
Date: April 27; Location: BYU-I ; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 8.0; 1/250.  After creating a layer mask I played around with different brush strokes and I found a fun one.  After  using the brush to bring back the picture I added text and changed the color of it. 

"Engagements"
Date: April 5; Location: Lehi, UT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 3.1; 1/150. I wanted to try a border for my engagement pictures and thought a black and white with a vignette would look good. After creating a new layer I used the rectangular Marquee and highlighted the section I wanted visible. I lowered the opacity just a little, but I wanted the edges dark to focus on us.

"Hotel Meade"
Date: May 25; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 10.0; 1/250. This picture is similar to the flower shot where I  made  a layer mask and used a brush to reveal the parts of the picture I want show. 

Scanography

"Bananagrams"
Date: June 4, Camera: Scanner.  This game is a multiplayer  speed scrabble.   My friends and I really enjoy this game so this picture is a tribute to them. I tried to make it a black background but I really struggled with it, but white works also.  

"Cards"
Date: June 4, Camera: Scanner.  On my mission I collected many different types of playing cards.  The reason I have so many different cards was for a game called 'Nerts' which is a speed solitaire game.  I mixed red and blue cards together and laid them on the scanner. I also scanned many different cards and cut them out of their picture and pasted them to the main picture.

Date: June 4, Camera: Scanner.   Most of the cards I used came from this picture.   I used the quick tool to highlight them, then cut them out of the picture and pasted them to the main picture.

Bannack Best

"Bannack"
Date and Time: May 25, 2pm; Location: Bannack, MT; f/stop and Shutter Speed: 10.0, 1/125
I gave this a black and white look to make it look like an old town. I lowered the colors in black and white to darken the picture.

"Cowboy"
Date and Time: May 25, 2:15pm; Location: Bannack, MT; f/stop and Shutter Speed: 13.0, 1/320
I wanted to give this a western feel so I added sepia. I set the camera on timer and ran to my spot in front of the camera.

"Flower" Date and Time: May 25, 4pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 7.1, 1/400
I went for a hike in the hills behind Bannack and saw these flowers. I kept playing with this shot in photoshop but didn't like any of the things I did. I decided to play with HDR and really enjoyed this look.

"Mirror Mirror" Date and Time: May 25, 12:43/2:30pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 5.6/6.3, 1/125/1/80  I took two pictures and combined them together. I thought about the movie Snow White and the "mirrior mirror on the wall" saying. I didn't add anything to this picture.

"Truck" Date and Time: May 25, 5:15pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 5.6, 1/500
I wanted a different shot of the truck and really had fun with HDR. I used one of the match colors.

"Bannack" Date and Time: May 25, 4pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 7.1, 1/400
As you can see I really had fun with HDR. I took this up in the hills behind Bannack. I used a color match for the color

"Spiral Hills" Date and Time: May 25, 4pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 7.1, 1/400
When I put this into HDR I had to adjust the three photos so they lined up together. When the picture popped up there was a swirl in the picture, while the center was in focus. I thought it had a cool look so I kept it. I didn't change it at all.

"Locked Up" Date and Time: May 25, 1:45pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 5.0/7.1, 1/60/ 1/100  These two pictures are taken in the jail. I combined them to make the jail seem hard and a place you don't want to stay. I wanted it to look hard and unbreakable. I darkened the picture with the multiply adjustment layer and deleted the rock on the chain.

"Grave" Date and Time: May 25, 7pm; Location: Bannack, MT; F/stop and Shutter Speed: 10.0, 1/160
This is my cemetery shot! I love the angle of this picture and the design in the rocks. I used HDR to give the rocks more color.
