Scanography

 Title: What Halloween is All About...
Date: 10/29/11
Scanner: Hp Photo Smart

This is the collage I did for this project. I scanned the individual items and then put them all together in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I first did the skittles and pumped up the saturation to completely change the color of them so they looked more festive for the occasion. Then I added the pumpkin layer on top of that and turned down the opacity so it looked more just like a background. I then added the individual candies and then merged them together into one layer in Photoshop. After that, I copied the layer and then turned it different directions to make it look like there was more candy than there really was. After that I simply added some type to finish it all off!

I didn't edit this scan because I thought that it looked cool the way it was. I really liked how the cotton turned out and looked really whispy for an extra added affect. For the pumpkins in the background I used plastic baggies that I cut out and then put the streamer behind that.

 The only thing I did to this photo when I edited it in Adobe Photoshop CS5 was desaturate it to make it black and white. I thought that it would give it a nice effect since it was already rugged looking.

 In this photo, I edited it in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I changed the levels and saturation to bring out more of the colors, then I edited my subject in the picture. I fixed any blemishes, then brought out his eyes with a lighter color in a crescent shape in the bottom of his eye, then sharpened both of his eyes. I also softened any hard lines on his face and added a little color to his lips. After that, I added a gausian blur to the background so that he was more of the focal point.

 I edited this image in Camera RAW. I changed the saturation and contrast to bring out more of the vibrant colors of the trees and the sky. I thought that it made the road look a little less depressing. I also loved the clouds in this picture which is why I chose it out of the other shots I got.

I didn't edit this photo at all. This is the original image. I liked the glow that came out of it because I thought that it gave you something interesting to look at. I did play with this image in Camera RAW and gave it a blue hue, but I liked this one much more in the end.

 This image I edited in Camera RAW to bring out the colors of the mallet and the desk. I really liked how it gave you a sense of what their court room may have looked like back in the 1800's. A guy sitting in his seat with a black top hat and a white beard while banging his mallet on the desk because of a rowdy interrogation.

 In Adobe Photoshop CS5, I first desaturated the image and then added a photo filter to it so that I could turn up the orange hue and give it a sephia look.

 This image was edited in Camera RAW. All I did was adjust the levels and sliders in it to give it an even more vibrant look. I thought that the original image looked great but wanted to make it really pop.

 Title: Bannack Ghost Town

I really wanted to get a good view of the whole town so I took this panoramic from a hill above Bannack. I took a few, but this one was the only one that really turned out. I was a little disappointed in how blown out the sky came out but it was the best I could do without a tri-pod and trying to spot heal the missing pieces in Adobe Photoshop CS5. After doing that I put it back in Camera RAW and bumped up the saturation and vibrancy in the photo to make the trees look more visually appealing.

For the light painting, what was done was we had a display set up and no lights were on (not that we could've had lights anyway because there was no power to the buildings). We then set our cameras with timers and our shutters to be open for about 15 seconds. When the shutters opened is when we took a simple LED flashlight and "light painted" the object to get the desired lighting. I really liked the angle I had this one at so all I did to it afterward was put it in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and bring out a little more of the colors. I thought it made it look a bit more interesting to the eye. The bottom photo is the original and the top is the edited version of it.

Title: Orange Leather

I edited these images in High Dynamic Range. For the first three images I didn't want to do anything too dramatic but simply bring out the beauty of the old buildings in the town. I adjusted the levels so that the colors were a bit more appealing to the eye but nothing too fancy. With the second image I had a bit more fun with. I really brought out the woods tones and made the darker straps pop against the brighter background.

Title: Bannack's Down Fall

I edited these images in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I first edited the Bottles image and boosted up the saturation to bring out more of the vibrant colors of the bottles, then I placed the Stains image on top of it and turned the opacity down so you could just barely see it over the other image. I thought that this gave a nice interpretation of just how rough Bannack used to be. Many gun fights and violence broke out because of alcohol consumed by the gold miners in the small town. I just thought that I would try to portray that a little with the bottles in the front of some of the buildings and stains on it to give a more rustic feel.

I edited both of these images in Camera RAW because they both looked a little bland to me. I wanted to bring out the colors of the trees in the background and add a little more contrast to the colors. I was also able to make the sky look a little more blue. I liked how the wood was angled from this fence because I feel like it helps direct your eye to what's more appealing like the sky and the trees.
