Edge Effects

 Dandelion. 6/4/2011 – 7:38 PM. Rexburg, ID.

F-Stop: 5.6 | Shutter Speed: 1/320 | Nikon D5000

Wow! I never realized how awesome dandelions are! With the sun going down, the lighting was perfect, reflecting off the seed things and making them look like fireworks! I edited the levels and the contrast, and then did the sprayed edge effect [number 9].

 Blossoms. 6/4/2011 – 7:26 PM. Rexburg, ID.

F-Stop: 5.6 | Shutter Speed: 1/160 | Nikon D5000

The tree next to my apartment is blossoming, so I took some pictures. I edited the levels and the contrast, and then I followed directions from the book to give it a burned border [number 13]

Purple Flowers. 6/4/2011 – 7:44 PM. Rexburg, ID.

F-Stop: 10 | Shutter Speed: 1/200 | Nikon D5000

I edited the levels on this and then gave it the double fade border [number 12].

Rustell & Dexter. 5/17/2011 – 7:55 PM. Rexburg, ID.

F-Stop: 7.1 | Shutter Speed: 1/250 | Nikon D5000

I wanted to try this edge effect on a portrait so I went back and found one. I really like the way this turned out. I edited the photos levels, and gave it a slight vignette. Then I did the burned border edge [number 13].
