Breanne's Graduation Shoot

I promised my friend Breanne I would take her on a special shoot around campus for graduation. The photos I think turned out great considering the weather outside. All of the pictures were shot with a Canon T2i SLR Digital and edited in Photoshop using exposure, saturation, levels, curves, and other editing techniques.

I took this photo out on the Staten Island ferry.

I like this picture. My mom gave me this mug as a joke cause I never have nothing to do.... So I took a picture of Breanne and made it look like shes in the cup with nothing to do enjoying her happy thoughts.

Painted Sky
Date: 11/1/10 Time: 4:20 p.m. Location: Rexburg, ID F-stop: f/20 Shutter Speed:1/200 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i

I was having a really hard time coming up with ideas for doing a staged photolusion. I went online and was looking for ideas when it showed someone drawing something in the sky with a pen. I rummaged around my room and found a brush... and white paint.... Painting clouds! I think it looks pretty good but I wish I could get the camera to focus on the sky and my hand at the same time.
