Make a Smilebox scrapbook

My children were great subjects for my portrait they love to have their picture taken.

cats

I cropped the picture then I used the text tool to make a funny saying. Thought it looked kind of cool. A way to get peoples attention. I choose this style of writing because the cats eyes looked kind of bonged out.

Cows

I used the clone tool to remove the trailer in the trees, then I used the clone tool to remove the other cow. I used the text tool to make a watermark.

Mummy

I really enjoyed working with cloning. What I did was I removed the coke sign. I took out the lamp post and tried to follow the pattern of the building. I took out the flag and replaced with bricks. This picture was taken in front of the mummy ride at Universal Studios.

Antique Truck

Filters how fun. For this picture I used two filters Texture-masonic tiles and brush strokes-accented edges. I also used the liquify option: brush size 354, density 100, rute 80, turbulent jitter 50, reconstruct mode revert, mode stiff, mesh size medium, mesh color green, mask color blue.

The Great Pumpkin

Filter what a neat feature. I thought this was an awesome picture. But the filters make it even better. I used two filters: Stylize-Glowing edges and Artistic-poster edges.

Composition & Aesthetics

There are two traditional views concerning what constitutes aesthetic values. The first finds beauty to be objective, that is, inherent in the entity itself. The second position holds that beauty is subjective, in that it depends on the attitude of the observer.
(aesthetics) the branch of philosophy dealing with beauty, especially with the components thereof; that is, color and form.

— Kristen L. Zacharias


In photography, composition refers to the structure, organization, and visual characteristics of the elements in your photograph. Compositions can be complex, powerful, boring, moody, uplifting, and a plethora of other adjectives. When you hear photographers refer to the composition of a photograph, likely they are talking about things like subject placement, lighting, color, lines, space, balance, and more.

When I focused this was slightly to the right I like it because I can see more of the trees the colors accent the photo.

 

I focused it was centered. I like the way you can see more of the dock, and the curves in the dock.

This one I shined a light on it.

This was also taken at night but I used my flash.

This was taken at night with out the flash you can see a reflection from my porch light.
