They're Friends! (Texture)

I finally got some tips on selective coloring and black/white in PhotoShop!  If anyone would like help with that I would gladly lend a helping hand, (I only know PhotoShop though)  

Anywho, this was taken on a bench in Horning's Hideout. It is a.... I guess you can say fishing place but there is a lot of other things to do there.  Its out in the Forest Grove area on Highway 26 and I have taken quite a few images there.  It's a considerably close place to go for people looking for some different settings on their hunt for their project possibly? :D

I hope everyone else's projects are going well.

Anyone Else See The Meteor Shower This Passed Weekend?

The stars that night were really something! (these aren't going to be in my project, I just thought it would be something fun to share with everyone) 

Well Hey Now I'm Done With The Shoes Scavenger Hunt!

At first I thought that taking pictures of shoes for the scavenger hunt would have been a drag, but it has turned into one of my more creative/ strange segments in all of the other subjects in the project as a whole.  I think what motivated me to be different in the 'shoes' bit was that at all costs I did not just want to take pictures of shoes and say "hey, now i'm done with that".  I wanted to actually put something out that seemed interesting and fresh (other than regular old shoes).  

This one kind of tells a story (in my head).  It brings out the simplistic qualities that are a shoe, we become more connected to the ground below us without them though, feet in the grass and all the textures that are different that are not felt in shoes.

The effects were done by taking 3 different pictures and having an overlay for the shoes and socks (the bare feet were the background which everything was built upon, the negative on the shoes was just done by erasing the white on my shoes and only keeping the black.  Making my socks see through was just a simple edit with opacity in PhotoShop.  

The Texture Bit Has Been My Favourite

I'll admit, this didn't completely happen "naturally" but still, full of that texture nonetheless 

This photo was a tough little bugger it was.

Some time after editing this photo (which felt like it took forever) I had a great feeling of success.  Then I came to realize I have no idea which folder this would fit into.  Maybe I should have thought of that before I took the time with this...  But fear not I will prevail and fit it somewhere.  (if anyone has a quicker way to take care of selective coloring in photoshop it would be greatly appreciated) 

Greed is not a good thing

Shoes anybody?

I thought I would be creative with the scavenger hunt for shoes, rather than just take pictures of plain old shoes.
