Photo Manipulation - Assignment 5

Fun with photoshop: Most of the photos were taken with the Canon 60D.  The first however was taken with my iPhone at an event and I liked it so much I decided to add it to my collection. 

The first photo was very grainy so I started off making it less grainy, but then I started messing around with other features and came up with the picture to the right.  

This would be fun with layers in photoshop. I merged the two photos that I felt made the most sense together and came up with the third photo.  I suppose I like grainy, cartoon like photos. 

I wanted to learn how to isolate one object in a photo to give some contrast and the second picture is the result.

I wanted to frame Wyclef and give it a grainier look. I found a frame online and this is what I came up with. 

I combined a few of the techniques to get this photo. Lighting, filtering, black and white, levels, etc

A Girl and Her Drill

The story starts in Ikea Brooklyn on a Sunday.  I found a cheap drill and thought about all the crafts that I can do.  I've never held a drill in my life but knew that I had to have it...(blame the Ikea oxygen).  It's conveniently named FIXA (is that even Swedish?)

A GIRL AND HER DRILL







 

I recently moved.  My apartment is a mess. I initially wanted to show from start to finish, but I don't live on HGTV. Candice Olson isn't coming to fix my apartment, so no pretty pictures of a finished apartment. However, I did utilize my time wisely with some "fun" projects from Ikea.  

I'm convinced that Ikea pumps oxygen in the air like casinos so that you stay there for extended periods of time without even realizing.  Next thing you know you have a bunch of items in your cart while calculating the total and deciding if you're gonna eat beans for a weak or get the new wardrobe...or maybe that's just me.
