Imagination Gone Artsy: Five Photos

200 Photos/Edit 200 Photos ~ Five Best: 
I love taking pictures in general. I always carry around a camera for any surprises that come my way. So this project was pretty nice. Taking the pictures was the easiest part. I took so many pictures but altered only five of them using photo shop. The before go before the pictures I photo-shoped.

Charcoal Clear Cup/Aquarium Cup:  
For the first picture, it was some what of a challenge to do because the picture was all gray and only charcoal. How would I change this picture, I thought...and then well lah! The cup looked like a fish tank so I colored int he cup with a paint brush and erased the blue in order to have fish. Then I accidentally inserted a stencil and erased what I tried to select...but it was a fail because I erased everything away. After all my hard work of trying to select it...its gets erased. But then my cousin comes over and says it looks pretty cool and added in a fish and some bubbles. Then I chose the sprinkle paint stencil and painted in sand. I also experimented with the other stencils like the grass (green) and the star (fish) stencil.

Happy Face/ Happy Hamburger:

For this picture, I didn't know what to do with it. I played around with the color contrast and made it more yellow. I also cropped it so it would be bigger and closer up on to the face. Next I thought that the face looked like it was about to eat something so I used the magnetic lasso tool to pull out the picture, copy it, and paste it next to the face. That's basically all I did to the picture.

Elephant/ 3D Elephant:

For the elephant picture, I rotated it first. I also darkened the picture a bit. Then I thought that the elephants should be changed around because it looked so boring. I was playing around with the effects with this picture. When I came to the 3D effect, it hurt my eyes so much, I had to keep it and ask other people what they thought...so guys, does the 3D picture hurt your eyes?

Book Shelf/ "I finally have pets!":

For this picture, I love it a lot because I finally have pets! Haha, just kidding. This picture was a challenge because I wanted to add something but I didn't know what and keep it natural looking. Then, I thought...PETS! I don't have them so it'd be nice to trick a few people! So, I found a few pictures online with pets in a white background and used the magnetic lasso tool to laso around the pets and then I reverts the little lassos to delete everything but the pet. Finally, I have pets! I want to thank Ms. Hull because she showed me so many tools and formats I could use.

Elephant and Dog/ Color Blast Dog and Elephant:

For this picture, I love it because it has my both of my favorite animals in the picture and I was looking at my 3D elephants while looking at this picture and thought..."what if I could make my own 3D picture or something close. So I picked a very neon pink and blue and started randomly coloring it in. Then, I figured that it needed another color in order for me to feel like it is done. So I added a neon green and well-lah! I finished it!

Finally,
When I work with photo shop, I am reminded that anything can be added and changed. I begin a piece by painting the setting. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of relief that I am doing something right. When people see my work, I'd like them to see what I am capable of. Here's a bigger look:
