Got this picture from Brock's Parents Carport. Pretty excited about it. Just makes me remember why I love this country, because we can all live in peace

First Panoramic: Wasatch Mountain

I have always been tempted to do a panoramic photo, by taking a series of shots and stitching them together in Photoshop.

In order to do this you need a few things:
A computer with enough RAM (this processes takes so much RAM because the computer is taking 50 pictures and turning them into one)
A nice camera (it is good to have a camera that will keep the coloring even through the shooting)
Either a steady hand or a tripod (if you are shooting a panoramic by hand you need to make sure and keep your hand even and only move the camera ever so slightly so that you will have a good picture when you are done)
And something long and still to take a picture of.

Now that I finally have a computer with a lot of RAM and a nice camera, I took the challenge of keeping my hand steady and taking a picture of one the many Wasatch Mountains in Utah. This picture is around 28 pictures stitched together.

I have fallen back in love with Photoshop

Before I graduated BYU-Idaho I bought a student license of Photoshop CS3, it was on my very old laptop that has serious issues (like randomly turning off, which can be super annoying when you are working in Photoshop). For 7 months I have been trying to figure out how to uninstall it from the my laptop so that I can install it on my desktop computer. Well the other day I was tinkering around and figured it out. I now remember why I love this program so much it is so user friendly and you can do so many cool things. For example I was able to take this picture, from this: To this, without using any destructive edits. Any one of these effects done to this image could be taken off by a simple click of a button. To this image I applied a Motion and Gaussian blur to the falls . I then used a mask to mask out the image and then painted it back with the thick heavy brushes. Then I applied a canvas texture to my layers and added the text. (You will be able to see the difference in the two images better by clicking on the images)

Here is another effect that I did I combined these two images:To make this:
