Water Reflection Tutorial

I got the link from the main blog page. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/water-reflection/

I modified the tutorial but not adding a a dark blue color for the water and I made the lines thinner so that the ripples would be thinner.

I liked the tutorial but it is better used for a picture involving an animal or a person.

Easy Watercolor Painting Effect

I got the link from the main blog page. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/watercolor-painting/

I modified the tutuorial by making certain effects a little bit lighter using a higher number.

I think the tutorial is best for landscape pictures or pictures that have a lot of things going on within them.

English Painting Tutorial

I got the tutorial off of the main blog page. http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/sketch/sketch.htm

I modified the tutorial by increasing the brightness off the picture before changing it. I also used a lower opacity then the tutorial said too.

I think that this tutorial would be best for pictures of a single object or of a landscape.

Aperture- The aperture of the lens is the size of the lens itself. The larger the size of the aperture the more light that it allows into the the film or the image sensor.

Shutter Speed- The shutter is controlled by the shutter release button on the camera. The shutter allows for light to reach the film to take a picture and also blocks light out when you aren't taking a photo. The shutter speed is how long your shutter remains open while taking a picture.


Each Camera Mode- Shooting with the automatic settings on my camera allows for the camera to choose the best mode for the scene or picture I am trying to take.

I like this picture because it is in black and white. Black and white give pictures more emotion. The man's position in the photo and what he is doing gives the picture more emotion.

I found the picture on google images.

I would like to recreate this effect because I like black and white photos and because you can show or make images more dramatic.

I like this photo because of the colors. The colors blend really well together making for a good photo. It is also a very simple picture which makes it just as nice.

I would like to recreate this effect because it puts more emphasis on a certain point in the picture and blurs the rest.

I like this picture because of the black and white effect. I like how all the colors blend together making for a nice photo and creating more details.
