Going back to Charleston after the Maui Photo Festival

Stacy is thinking how she can stay in Maui a couple extra days to enjoy the surf.

She realizes she can't.

Waiting for the shuttle to deliver her to the next terminal.

Back to work checking emails. :-(

We had a great time at the Maui Photo Festival!

What You Can Do With Photoshop

All of the below pictures were taken by CCforP student, Ellen Yampolsky. I have been teaching her a bit about Adobe Photoshop and all of the great things you can do with it. Well, she had this great portrait of an older gentleman eating ice cream.

"What can I do about the busy background?" Ellen asked.

"You could just replace it," I said.

So, that's what we did. We took the picture of the guy and dropped the background out. We replaced the background with a layer of white, so that we could easily put the man in another photo.

We picked this pretty picture Ellen took in Canada and really beefed it up. We popped some contrast in there using Curves and History Brush. We gave it a cool motion blur and really gave it some punch.

Then we took our man and placed him over the back ground. We adjusted size so that everything looked proportional and BAM! You now have the Farmer in the Dell!!!!
