04.01.09 Contemplation Under the Pale Moon Light

::Foto of the Day::


ORIGINAL





So I took the original, added a moon, and added these power lines




I then changed the image to darkness by adding alot of black layers, and changing the filters. I actually had to do this for a reason, but I can't remember why.

I actually made this image two weeks ago, but it took me a while longer to post it than usual. Which means I have to post two photos this week.

03.18.09 Impatience is a Virtue

52/10 Impatience is a Virtue

Isn't it impatience that enables us to act? I think patience allows us to become stagnant, and not strive to do anything better. How is that virtuous?
Actually I completely understand how patience is a virtue, but I think we also need to be willing to go out and try to get what we want, instead of waiting for it to come to us. I think lately this has been a problem of mine. I've felt like I need to go out and get something, but I have felt stuck and unable to get anywhere that I need to go.


So I decided this is the last time I'm going to publish a 52 picture on here. From now on they can be viewed on my website. But I will continue to use this space to post other pictures, as well as post before and after shots from my 52 Project.

So be sure to check out my 52 Projects page and you can also find me on Flickr.

03.10.09 In Good Health, and Take Time to Check the Time

::Foto of the Day::
Well it appears I missed a week on updating my blog. So this week you get two photos.




In Good Health 52/8


I was sick this week, and the photo I was originally working on didn't work out. So instead I decided to upload a photo of myself.


BEFORE:

I didn't actually take the photo when I was sick, but as you can see I did edit it a bit. Mostly bought out my eyes, and got rid of a few skin imperfections. I also changed the color to the weird green, most likely because I was feeling green myself.



52/9 Take Time to Check the Time

So this is my ninth 52 photo. I can't believe how fast this is going. By doing a project every week I can see exactly how fast time ticks by. It feels like just a few weeks ago I was starting my first photo. So today I'm posting a photo which was actually an idea for next weeks photo. I like the way this turned out though, so this is what you get for today's photo.

Now onto last (last) week's photo, and the edits I used.

Kinda Before:

So this image is pretty much all photoshop. I took the picture of myself as a luchador, and also took the picture of myself as the poor guy about to get pounded. I then added them to a wrestling ring which I made out of an image, and alot of vector art, and put the crowd background to it.

Instead of actually jumping in the area I took a picture of myself doing a back arch, then flipped it upside down. And I got what I was looking for.
AFTER:


So yeah that's how I did that photo.

So I know this was a long post, but hope you guys liked it. Please leave me a comment, no matter where you're reading this blog.

Until next time
