Note: All images were scaled and switched to 313ppi
Zakimi Castle Ruins: color balanced, canvas filter, dodge/burn
Maeda 1: burned all midtones and shadows, dodged midtones in spots, added watermark, framed*
Maeda 2: selected border of 0.2" with feathering, used paint bucket to fill with wood pattern
Wanderer: burned shadows and midtones, used lasso to turn person into own layer than desaturated, reordered layers, added watermark, framed*
Maeda 3: dodged and burned, watermark, framed*
Fisherman: burned midtones and shadows in water, made fishing pole own layer to burn it, added watermark and framed*
All other images were burned, had a watermark added, and were framed.
*Framing was done by increasing the canvas size, centering the image, filling new layer using paint tool, and moving new layer to background.
All photographs were edited, however I wanted to stay away from major alterations in order to preserve the true feel of the island. My original story board included images from multiple places around the world, however I didn't like the way it flowed. Because of that, I decided to stick with own place.

ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent job you did on your photostory! Very impressive! While I watched your slideshow I tried to imagine myself being there with the warm wind blowing listening to the water hitting the rocks. You really brought your photos to life! One of my favorites is the first one in your slide show. I just love how that photo looks with the canvas filter. It makes it look so classic! Great job!

ReplyDeleteI also wanted to mention the last photo in your story! I love how the water looks! It just seems so bright! You did an excellent job manipulating this photo as well!
Nikki
Nikki,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Actually I didn't touch the water in the last picture. I stood and took over twenty shots in a row waiting for the perfect one. I had the perfect lighting, a little before sunset on a slightly overcast day. You can't tell on the computer, but when I printed this one to frame for my mother I found there are quite a lot of pinks and yellows in the wave, reflected from the sunset.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteGreat photo story. I am still very jealous of where you are. Being be the beach must be nice. I also really like the editing your use, the way it hopped in between photo reel's was cool. Great pictures.

You are a great photographer! I love all of the landscapes you used and you do a really nice job with suttle manipulations. I love the sunset photo,, very bright and colorful, the people walking by is classic, very nice. I think sticking with one scene was a good idea to keep the observer's attention and to keep a steady theme. Great slideshow!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work Beth....true reason why I feel you will successfuly market your photos online. Your use of photo manipulations bring your photos to life and the way that you arrange your photos with just a little turn makes them very unique. I love the coloring you used and defintely makes you want to be in this same place. As Nikki mentioned the last photo is absolutely amazing. Love the lighting in the water with the hints of pink and yellow and the blue that comes through. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and the flow is lovely. I was surprised to read they were taken at so many places and I think very subtle captions might have been nice for information. Maybe a faded translucent title that floats in after the image, right before the transition to the next one, so one can view the photo alone, then find out where it's taken? Anyway, that's just an idea, it's a great Slideshow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! The colors were amazing, and it certainly gave me a warm feeling. I could almost feel the breeze... The photos flowed very nicely. I think I would have liked a few captions, but they may have made the photos less viewable I suppose...
ReplyDeleteThis is really special, and you must feel really happy to have had the opportunity to capture these amazing images!
Your pictures have amazed me all semester! I think that it's incredible the touch you have for photography...jealous!
ReplyDeleteI have said this before, but I love your photos. I really liked how your framed all of the pictures, it added so much elegance to them all. I like the framing photos that you did, especially the one with the people in the water int he middle, that one was great. But really all of them were great and great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! I would choose just one favorite photo but I cant they are all so great it would be impossible to decide!
