Choice #1

This picture was taken on November 1st, 2010. The flash was off and my camera mode was on auto. This picture was taken at Bensons in the upper stairway.

 I fixed this photo up in photo shop.
        I made a background copy and I took the dodge tool and brightened it.
that is all I did with it... I think that it looks really good, I like how bright it is.
I did try to crop it, but I didn't like how it took out so much of the sun. I forgot about curves and level so, I didn't try anything else.

Architecture

I was in Los Vegas when I took this picture. It was around February 2nd 2009. I know that my camera was on auto and the flash was on.

What I changed in this photo was I cropped it to take out the unneed stuff. then I clone stamp the sign from the bottem and got rid of that. I took the burn tool and lightened up the statue. Than the last thing I did was color balance. I did try a other thing like levels, but I didn't like how it looked. I think that the photo looks better because the statue is brighter and that was the one thing that I wanted to do.

Diagonal

 I took this at Benson's with auto on , same with the flash. the day I took it was November 1st, 2010.

I changed this picture by going to curves and levels, I wanted to make it darker because the white was too shiney. I did try clone stamp but that made it look sloppy. So, I decided to just stay with levels and curves. Then I decided that I was going to try to change the color of the black lines, but I couldn't just get the black lines so, I just left it. It is a diagonal photo because the bottom stairs start at one corner and goes all the way up to the other. So, it brings eye in a diagonal motion. I really like it darker because that place is usually dark, but when the flash went off it brightened it so, I think it looks great.

Lines

I took this picture yesturday, November 1st 2010 at Benson's. I had my camera on auto and the flash was on.

I changed the levels to make it a darker color and I tried changing the curves, but I didn't like how it looks so I changed it back. I used the clone stamp to clean up the white and the door, but then I just ended up cropping it to put the focus on the lines more. I really like this picture I think it looks good focused in and I love the background full of color.
