Action Blur & Freeze

Clarks Nutcracker 1-22-2011 3:11pm, Bannock Ghost Town, MT. f/5.6, 1/400 sec. Canon T2i.

I almost caught this bird flying so I counted it as freeze action. I turned the top picture into an HDR then added hard light and brushed out the whole picture except the bird.

Ghost Door, 1-22-2011, Bannock Ghost Town, MT. (info lost) Canon T2i.

I took this picture with a 8 second shutter speed focused in one spot then I had some one shut the door fast so the door was shut for a second before the exposure was over.

Raven, Spring 2008, Yellowstone National Park. Nikon D40.

All the above picture I created a fine art template for and applied my own signature to. The signature was easy I just wrote my name scanned it as a BMP and then presses the create brush template button. The art template was easy as well just a little more time consuming, to create it you simply apply one image rectangle copy it then duplicate the copy three more times followed by aligning it with the back ground.

Night Light

Camera Motion!

Moon Walk, 2-17-2011 7:45pm, Rexburg, ID. f/22, 10 sec. Canon T2i.

I used the moon to paint with my camera in these two pictures, you can almost make out the word HI. This was a little difficult because I had to point the camera at the moon, hold down the shutter button, and try figure out where the moon was according to my camera.

Light Painting!

Scanner Light, 2-20-2011 11:00pm, Rexburg, ID. f/9, 30 sec. Canon T2i.

The above three images I used my scanner as a light source to paint my name in the air. This actually took me hours to get a decent image I had to have enough shutter time and enough scanner time while my camera was pointing at the right spot. Two of the time I drew my name and the other two I just waved the scanner around.

Moving Light Capture!

Moon lit Star Trail, 2-17-2011 9:30pm, Rexburg, ID. f/16, 2908sec. Canon T2i.

Star Trail 2-2-2011 9:30pm, Rexburg, ID. f/5.6, 2056sec, Canon T2i.

The above images I set my camera up pointer it at the stars (a light source) and opened up the shutter for an hour or more. The first image is a lot brighter because there was a full moon the second image there was no moon at all.

Edge Effects

Gray Partridge, 2-5-2011 4:14pm,Camas National Wildlife Refuge, f/9, 1/200 sec, Canon T2i, 250mm.

Both the above images are the same with two different borders also almost the same. I could not decide what one I liked more so I put them both in. For these borders you create a new layer and then add a mask layer to the original image. You need to put the image layer above that of the new layer and the color of the layer depends on what effect you want. For the effects that I got I did something a little different using the brush tool I first went over the new mask layer so that as I went over the mask layer there was some darker effects on the image.

Pheasant, 2-5-2011 4:30pm, Camas National Wildlife Refuge, f/9, 1/200 sec, Canon T2i, 123mm.

The above image is in it original form minus the border. To get this border I first had to crop the image to a 9 by 7 and then change the canvas size to an 8 by 10. Then using the rectangle tool create a rectangle in covering most the image followed by another one in from the previous on a mask. Both the rectangles can be color of choice. And using the motion blur filter two different times at two different angles and adjusting the opacity you get the effect of the inner rectangle.

Porcupine, 2-5-2011 4:00pm, Camas National Wildlife Refuge, f/16, 1/1000 sec, Canon T2i, 250mm.

The above images both have the same border type with a different style the sprayed edge effect. For both of them using the rectangle marque drag a rectangle in side of the picture then hit q to apply a quick mask. This is where I made the two different styles the top on I used a sprayed strokes affect where as the second on I used the liquify and adjusted the settings then went around the border to create my own effect. After which you hit q to undo the mask then inverse the mask and hit the delete button to see the border.
