Fine Art Print

Original Image

This picture was chosen to be printed out and hung in the Spori building. I do love this one. I took it on our photo excursion to Bannack Ghost Town in Montana. I loved a lot of my portraits that I took at Bannack, but this one is definitely one of my favorites.

With this picture I got down low to get a different angle. My ISO was at 200, shutter speed was 1/100, aperture was 6.3, and the focal length was 39.0 mm.

As far as editing goes, I first sharpened the photo to get some good detail. Then, I masked in the sky because, as you can see in the original image, the sky was washed out. I then used the dodge and burn tool to darken the background (sky) and lighten the sheriff. I also increased the vibrance.

To print I sized my image to 16×24 and then added a little extra to the left side (canvas size) making it 18×24. I went to Walmart and it was super easy to order. They print it for you and have you come pick it up at a certain time.

Levitation will be awesome to continue to experiment with. I wanted to post two levitation shots because I liked the second one more, but I didn’t take a picture of the background in the second one. The first one I used Photoshop masking and the second one I used the clone stamp tool.

The portraits I took at Bannack are some of my favorite pictures that I took. Every picture has dodge and burn effects on them. Every picture is sharpened as well.

My brother is awesome and let me take pictures of him for this assignment. With this assignment I realized that I like to use Adobe Lightroom for portraits. It’s easier and faster for me to do touch ups. I used a lot of the dodge and burn effect (my favorite tool).
