Photo Project Six~ DRAFT

All photos taken with a Canon Digital Rebel EOS

Photo Assignment

Take at least 3 different digital photos of the same subject using exposure bracketing so that you have at a minimum, one underexposed image, one properly exposed image and one overexposed image, as shown below.


The Properly Exposed Photo
     Shutter Speed:             1/30
     Exposure Program:     Normal
     F-Stop:                        f/5
     Focal Length:              35mm
     ISO:                            400


The Over-Exposed Photo
     Shutter Speed:            1/30
     Exposure Program:     Normal
     F-Stop:                        f/4.5
     Focal Length:              35mm
     ISO:                            800
     Exposure Bias Value: +1.3


The Under-Exposed Photo

     Shutter Speed:              1/40
     Exposure Program:       Normal
     F-Stop:                          f/5
     Focal Length:               35mm
     ISO:                             200  

     Exposure Bias Value:  -1.3


Photo Editing Assignment- Part ONE
Using one of the HDR options create a single HDR image from the three photos you took for Photo Assignment, part 1.

In the picture below, I merged the three pictures above into one HDR image.  The image is not near as interesting as I hoped it would be. The photo looks very light even though the photos above (even the over exposed picture) are not too light.  I used the free version of Photomatix Essentials to create this photo, therefore there are a couple watermarks.  

The HDR combination picture.




Photo Editing Assignment- Part TWO
Using any of the image enhancement options (such as levels, watercolor filter, etc. in Photoshop Elements; Topaz Simplify or other Topaz filters, Smart Photo Editor; or any other type of photo editing tool, create an "enhanced" image from a photo you have taken. 


The Enhanced Photo
The photo below was enhanced in Photoshop.  
It was enhanced with Filters --> Texture --> Craquelure
I found this picture interesting as it looks like you can touch the "layers" of the flower.
