This shot was just combining two camera shots and putting it with a star field. The thumbnail picture above has some blue accents just to see how it would look. The blue came from another shot last week from my phone moving around with a slow shutter speed.

February 7. It has been a very busy week so I have not had time to post my shots the past few days. This is my cell phone flash light tucked into a chair. I placed a black colored book cover over the phone so it would not show up in the shot. Moab Man taught me the greater the aperture the...

February 6. I took a photo of General Washington's commission as Commander In Chief for the continental army with a screen layer of George Washington from the same book.

February 5. The first shot I just over laid an image of fire I took the other night. For the second photo I put my camera on auto timer and then took a candle and moved it around my head. The issue I ran into was I had the shutter speed on for 8 seconds so I was a little blurry because I...

February 4. I was not able to get to this shot until later in the evening.

February 3. Working with candle light for last night's shot was fun so I decided to do the same again tonight. I cut out all ambient light by putting my aperture really high and lowering my ISO. Then I set my camera for interval timing so I could move the candle around and draw with the...

February 2. Tonight I tried using candle light instead of a flash to show what the documents might have looked like on a table at night right after the birth of our nation. The documents I have are from the illustrated version of the book 1776 by David McCullough. Included are the printing of...

February 1. This is a close up of a foil bowl I found in my classroom. I used the macro lens again so I could get in close for some extra detail.

January 31. The past few days I have been working 12 hours at work, so I took some shots on my lunch break. I came home from work last night and fell asleep before posting. This is a close up of the base of a lamp. I was trying to work on using a macro lens.

January 30. My goal was to make it look like Superman was coming out of the book. So I used the liquify tool to create the effect. The problem I had was trying to get the figure to look like it blended better from the book. I took one photo of just the book and one of the photo. Then I used...

This is the same image, but I wanted to practice with the mask again, but with a different background. The stars I thought might make a nice effect, but it also may be too dark of a background.

January 29. On this photo I worked on creating the lightsaber effect after I did all of the different angles with the flash.

This is what my son worked on today. He said he wanted to use a green gel. He placed the gel and took each shot. Then I showed him how to layer them in photo shop and it did everything himself. What I loved the most was he wanted to name this photo "Son with Father". Since I am so short I...

January 28. Since I am still trying to master how to use a mask I tried this shot. I got this idea from an photo I saw Moab Man do where he placed himself all over a classroom and it looks like he is in several places at once. Last night I was able to get a mask on each layer and make it...

This is a shot my son did today. I just watched him and was impressed with how easily he worked the settings. He was already working on how to focus without me saying anything. This is something he did on his own.

January 27. I know the edges around the spaceship are not clean. My intent for today was to work on mastering doing a mask. There were five layers and I was able to use the mask to get rid of the stand under the spaceship. For something different I took the background from a shot I took...

This is 6 year old gets ahold of Batman and Stormtrooper.

January 26. For this shot I used three different gels. Last night I only used one gel. For the ramp to the inside of the Millennium Falcon I put in the red gel to make it look like light was coming down the ramp. Also I combined a few shots with green and blue gels from the back and a blue...

January 25. This is the same dinosaur I shot before. This time I used a red gel and layered different shots together. With the eye, I did a mask to bring out the eye more since my other shots were not getting just the eye without lighting up the entire face.
