Vintage Through My Eyes

These photos are a glimpse at what we are doing in Beg. Media Arts. Right now, we are working on developing Adobe Photoshop skills. We've been learning to work in layers and we're trying to create the illusion that something in a picture is real by cutting out a specific object or person from a different picture. We are also still working on paying homage to our photographer; My photographer is Robert Adams. In Adobe Photoshop, I used the eraser tool and cut out something from his photo and blurred the edges of it (using the blur tool) so it wouldn't look all choppy and like it was cut out with scissors. Next, I selected the object I cut out, copied it, opened a new layer with the picture I wanted to use, and then pasted it. I clicked on edit, transform and then scale so I could make it bigger or small. The last few things I did were making it the right saturation/hue I wanted, the right brightness and contrast, adding noise to the picture, etc. In this slideshow, I only did two pictures because I like to take longer and spend more time on a picture then doing it in a hurry. The rest are just some regular pictures I took and thought were the best to share with you.
