  God Rays; 24×36; 06-13-13; 6:41 pm; Manual; f/20; 4 sec; Canon EOS REBEL T3i; Tripod; levels, saturation, masking

For this photo, I set my tripod up and set my camera to ISO 200, and shutter speed to 4 seconds. After the shutter had been open for about 2 seconds, I zoomed it all the way in, and allowed it to finish. The Edits were fairly minimal. I straightened the photo, added some saturation and increased levels, but masked out the level adjustment on the top half of the photo. I chose this image for my large print because it’s unique, and lets admit it, everyone loves the God rays.

For this photo, I made a rectangle marquee one inch inside the border of the image, turned on quick mask mode, applied a sprayed brush stroke filter, moved both radius and length up to 19, and then deleted the outside edge of the image. I used the feathers on the back of the duck for the background color, and turned off quick mask mode.

For this image, I did a double fade border. I cropped the image to be one inside the 8×10 canvas, and then put a white rectangle over the image leaving the very outside edges exposed. I then added a layer mask, and drew another rectangle, on fill pixel mode, and colored it black to expose the picture, but left the very outside edges of the white rectangle. Then I reduced the opacity of the white edge to 60%, then added a blur-motion filter to all sides to give it a feathered effect.

For this photo, I copied the image layer, added the multiply blending mode, and then drew a rectangular border using the rectangle marquee tool and deleted the interior of the effect to expose the original image.

  Waterfall; 05-03-13; 7:26 pm; f/11; 1/4; Canon EOS REBEL; Tripod

For this photo, I opened a blank white canvas, drew one black rectangle, duplicated it four times, and aligned them to the center of the page, and then moved them up a bit. Then, I inserted the picture over the top of the whole template, and created a clipping mask. From there, I dragged the picture to show the waterfall . Then I added the text at the bottom.

  Parking; 06-01-13; 12:55 am; f/25; 15 sec; Canon EOS REBEL T3i; tripod

For this one, I set up the tripod in the temple parking lot, and pointed it at one of the parking lights. I turned the lens from AF to MF and then exposed the picture for 15 seconds. About halfway through, I zoomed out, and let the rest of the exposure run out. From there, I darkened the rest of the photo, and brought out the lights.

This one was fun. I set up the camera on the tripod, and my wife has this little toy for our nephews that just spins and changes colors and we decided it would look cool in a long exposure, so she wrote her name (kinda) and this was the result. I darkened the room and background and left it at that.

For this one, It was a little to bright outside to do a really good long exposure light painting, so the shutter speed was only 2 seconds, but we highlighted the text on the wall and the the brick next to the loading bay. Then I turned up the contrast and the shadows.

 

  Ghost; 06-01-13; 1:10 am; f/10; 20 Sec; Canon EOS REBEL T3i; Tripod

This one was kind of just for fun, my wife and I were playing with the long exposure, and so we turned her into a ghost. We didn’t realize until the next day that the C in the background went through her face. I guess it just adds to ghost effect?
