Menan Butte, 10/5/11 3:00 pm, f/4.0. 1/100, ISO 80, 38.9mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

For this shot, I darkened the whole thing, but brought back the fill light on the trees. I also added some vibrancy and brought out the blues and oranges. You can also see the colors on the trees changing alot more.

Rexburg Tab, 10/5/11 3:04pm, f/4.3, 1/800, ISO 250, 60.0mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

For this shot, I did pretty much the same things as the last shot. I really like how you can see the changing leaves a lot better.You can see the hills in the back a little better too.

Panorama Shot

BYU Idaho Panorama, 10/5/11 2:56pm, f/3.5, 1/400, ISO 80, 18.1mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

I took this shot on top of the stadium where I first kissed my wife. It was pretty hard to do all the clone stamping but I think it turned out really well. I also added an adjustment filter the helped me darken the photo a little bit. If you look really close you can see the temple just above the MC.

Menan Butte Panoramic, 10/9/11 6:23pm, f/4.0, 1/400, ISO 80, 28.1mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

I took this shot out front of my wife's aunt's house. It was just a quick shot but it turned out prettty nice for a panoramic shot. I tried to bring the brightness down a little bit but it made the lines really stick out.

Layer Adjustments

Wheat, 9/27/11 - 6:10 pm, f/4.5, 1/320, ISO 80, 51.1mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

This is the layer edit. I just darkened the wheat
and masked out the reflection of the water. It really made the wheat look more golden than usual.

License Plate, 9/27/11 8:05 pm, f/2.8, 1/30, ISO 80, 6.0mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

This is my smart layer edit. I just used the Gaussian blur filter and masked out the license plate. I like it.

Flora and Fauna

 Golden Wheat, 9/27/11 6:10 pm, f/4.5, 1/320, ISO 80, 51.1mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

 Duck, 9/27/11 6:11 pm, f/4.5, 1/200, ISO 400, 28.1mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

Purple Flower, 9/27/11 8:01 pm, f/2.8, 1/40, ISO 80, 6.0mm, Canon Powershot SX120 IS

I took each of these shots around my house. I just saw the warm sun outside and felt the urge to run outside and snap some shots. It also helped that I had just got my new camera in the mail. I really like this new camera! I really like the last shot of the flower. You can see the fuzzy purple petal. 

Overlay

Jessica@Wingers, 9/15/11 4:40 pm, f/2.6, 1/60, ISO 200, 5.8mm, Canon Powershot A560

Rocks, 9/21/11 9:55 am, f/7.1, 1/1250, ISO 200, 5.8mm, Canon Powershot A560

Smiley Jessica, 9/15/11 5:40 pm, f/3.2, 1/125, ISO 80, 7.9mm, Canon Powershot A560  

For this editing I just used the overlay blend. I had to go take the rocks picture just so I could get that texture in there. I used a max on all the pictures except the main one. I did have the color changed on that main picture. I think that's one of the main things that looks unique about it.

Leaves, 9/21/11 8:40 am, f/2.6, 1/160, ISO 80, 5.8mm, Canon Powershot A560

BW Jess, 3/2/11 8:56 pm, f/7.1, 1/60, ISO 200, 5.8mm, Canon Powershot A560

I used the overlay blend for this one too. I took the leaves shot specifically for this. I was hoping the black and white picture would stand out a little bit more. If you look really close you can see the Rexburg temple just underneath the eye. 

Graffiti Jess, 9/15/11 5:38 pm, f/5.5, 1/50, ISO 200, 23.2mm, Canon Powershot A560

Rocks, 9/21/11 9:55 am, f/7.1, 1/1250, ISO 200, 5.8mm, Canon Powershot A560

I used the grunge type effect with this. It took me a while to get a hang of it but it worked well. I kinda got hung up on getting the original image unlocked so that I could copy the rocks. I also used the Bevel and Emboss layer style. I think that style is my favorite.
