Bannack [Favorites]

Sarah. 5/25/2011 – 12:23 PM. Bannack School House, MT.

F-Stop: 3.2 | Shutter Speed: 1/60 | Nikon D5000

I edited the blacks in camera raw, and then the levels in photoshop. I also used the brush tool to smooth out her skin a little bit.

Root Beer. 5/25/2011 – 2:01 PM. Saloon at Bannack, MT.

F-Stop: 3.2 | Shutter Speed: 1/50 | Nikon D5000

I edited the contrast on this with an adjustments layer, and I used a saturation adjustment layer to make  it sepia. I lowered the opacity on the sepia, because most of the photo was already brown, and the color from the original photo was a little nicer than they were when with 100% sepia adjustment layer.

F-Stop: 2.8 | Shutter Speed: 1/320 | Nikon D5000

I edited the levels and the contrast, and I also added texture by using an overlay. It added to the old look of the chair.

Old House. 5/25/2011 – 5:38 PM. Bannack, MT.

F-Stop: 4.5 | Shutter Speed: 1/500 | Nikon D5000

I edited the blacks and contrast in camera raw, and I used an adjustment brush to add some blue at the top of the sky.

F-Stop: 4 | Shutter Speed: 1/60 | Nikon D5000

I edited the levels in this photo, and used an adjustment layer [gradient map] to change the color to black and white. I also cropped it a little bit.

F-Stop: 9 | Shutter Speed: 1/400 | Nikon D5000

I wanted to get a panoramic down the main road in bannack. I like how this turned out, but I wish I would have taken it from a little farther down the road. I used photoshop to merge the photos, and then I adjusted the levels, and gave it a little extra saturation.

Bannack [Macro Abstract]

 For this photo, I blended two images together. I used the overlay technique in the layers pallet. I tried a few different texture shots, but I liked this one the best.

Blending Images [Edit]

BLEND 1

For this photo, I blended 2 images. One was a texture that you can't really see, but it helped to brighten the icicles. I placed the texture image over the ice photo, and then used overlay. I also changed the texture to black and white so that it went better with the colors in the picture.

BLEND #2

I added a texture image to this photo as well. I used the same technique as the one above, using the overlay. I lowered the opacity of the texture. I also used a layer mask and used the paint brush to lessen the texture on the piano keys. I also brightened the image in photoshop and edited the levels.
