Here are two of my favorite photos of the semester in a template in a custom I created.

Photolusions

Temple In Hand

1. Temple in Hand; 11/9/09; 10:30 p.m.; Rexburg, ID; f3.8; 0.8; Nikon D49. Edits: Sharpness.

This shot didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to. I was going to try it during the day so I could get a little more control over the lighting and positioning, but I didn't get time to retake the shot.

Panoramic Picture

This is my final blended panoramic image. I like this picture because it shows a wide range of landscape with the sunset.

Panoramic Images

All of these pictures were taken with manual settings, which were:

1-6. Farm; 6/11/09; 5:40 p.m.; Rexburg, ID; f5.0; 1/16; Nikon D40.

I took these pictures just before sunset and I liked the simplicity of the location. The colors came out nicely and I actually managed to do it well without a tripod.

Clipping Mask

Photo A Day Clipping Mask

I used a template to create this clipping mask. It was easy to do. The template had everything in place already and I just had to bring in pictures and add the clipping mask. I can now change the pictures easily.

I took all of these pictures in raw format and made slight edits on all of them. I took most of these pictures later in the evening and had a great sky for most of them. I took a lot of different pictures with different settings in the manual mode to get different pictures and selected the best ones. It has helped me to better understand what settings to use in what lighting situations.
