Turkey Day Portrait

Hey all. Longtime no needed to post, non? Hope you all had great Turkey Days; mine was good ^^

So I decied to take my camera to Grandma's and do my assignment there. The biggest problem I had was that no one stood still for me! A camera would pop up and people would hide. My cousins are no fun-part poopers.

So the one good portrait I got was of my dad as seen below:

He was like watching the news or something, I don't remember. So basically the moral of the story is people don't like their pictures taken even if you tell them it's for your homework.

Photoshopping

Hey guess what I'm not dead! Sorry I was sick yesterday-not really pretty. But I'm better today and well enough to not skip class work so yippies!

Not that big of an alteration I know, but it looks good. I used the quick mask to select specific flowers then I used Image=>Adjustments=>Replace Color to change the purple to orange.

For this one I actually used two images of similar thingys (one's a computer the other's a TV). Used the “pin light” blending mode on the second image that was put over the first, then I made a third layer and used a rainbow fill gradient in a circular pattern and used the “color” blending mode on that.

So that's about it. Enjoy ^^
