A Photo Photoshopped in Photoshop

Posted by Jacob |5 comments

Hi everyone,
We went to the sand dunes slightly north of Tea Gardens the other week, and with the great views, I took about 300 photos, unfortunately about 2 thirds of them are UNDER EXPOSED! (Thats definitely a learning curve, I well never do that again!). However when my sister and I were having some roughfalls down the staggeringly humongous sand dunes, Mum took some great photos of us. It was one of these photos that I decided to do some basic photoshopping with.



Feel the hologramism (I love writers liberty)... Do not fight it.... Embrace the change (Oops, now I'm going all sci-fi with Doctor Who)

Have a great day.

HDR Images

Posted by Jacob |3 comments

Hi all,

I have recently been reading about High Dynamic Range images (HDR). In a basic definition, they are 2 images taht are taken of the same landscape. One that makes the sky look 'nice', and the other that makes the actual landscape look 'nice'. The other night there was a pretty sunset, so grabbed the camera and a ladder and set up outside the front of our house (had a few strange glances from passer-by's :D ) and tried to take a couple of pictures suitable for a HDR composition.

Tonight I had a look at the images and chose the best two to 'stitch' together in Photoshop. After 20 seconds of computation of the two images, Photoshop made up it's mind and churned out a beautiful looking HDR image! I am quite pleased with the results, and now I know what to do better next time.

See the image below:

Have a great day! Jacob :)

In-post poll - New header design

Posted by Jacob |1 comments

Hi all, this post will be a poll of sorts, asking you your favourite out of a selection of similar header designs that I will base the layout of this blog on.

Below are 5 graphics that I made today (and one more in the next post) - please comment on your favourite so I can get an idea of what to implement as my header :) (please note that the following graphics are not full size and are also compressed, meaning they are not at full quality)



There is one more image that will be put in a new post - please post all comments on the next post if possible to keep it all in one place :)

Photography

Hi everyone,
One of the things that has really sparked my interest in the last couple of years is photography. I really love the artistic freedom you can have without having to be good at drawing! Below are a couple of shots that I have taken recently:



Next post I will show some pictures of our 3-day home school excursion to Canberra.

Any Ideas?

Well, I have gone back to my old design after having a fair few problems with the new one. I can't seem to find a template that I really like - does anyone have any ideas? If they do, feel free to comment below ;)

I will be uploading a few actual 'content' posts soon, so don't worry :)

New design

Posted by Jacob |1 comments

Well I have decided to redo the design of the blog, however currently the design is straight off a template. I plan to edit the design so it is more 'mine'.

The only transitioning problem I have seen so far is it seems the dates next to my posts have been lost.

Please leave your comments and suggestions below regarding the site and it's new design.
