Me, myself, and irene

I'm a 17 year old student at Truro college. I've taken a photography course at the college and for part of our third unit we have been told to set up a blog and document our progress throughout the unit. the unit is called 'Play'. It's a Photoshop based unit which basically means the photos i will be uploading will be pictures i have taken and edited in photoshop. I'm interested in a wide range of photography genres such as sport photography, landscape, portrait... the list goes on. However this unit i think i'm going to base the photos i upload around portraiture; comparing photographed portraits to illustrated portraits, landscape photography; by taking lots of different landscape photographs digitaly and on film i hope to be able to compare the two styles,

The Apple Bites Back

After practicing the layer mask technique on a few images i saw a picture similar to the one above, an apple with a snakes mouth coming from the side, and i decided to have a go at creating something similar. Using the layer mask tool and being very patient this is how the image turned out. This is probably my best edit yet, and i am seriously considering using it as one of my finals.

Penguin Creature




This is an image i created using the three images above of a dog, tiger and penguin. I got the idea for this by looking through random images people have created on Photoshop and i just thought doing something like this is a good way to experiment with the layer mask technique. After using this I've found that it's a much more efficient technique than simply using the eraser tool when overlaying layers. The only thing i would change if doing this again would be trying out different animals.
