Carriage photo; 10/07/09; f3.0; 1/60; Bannack, MT; Samsung L830
For this assignment I wanted to try the brushed-on effect. Originally, I amped up the levels of the image in photoshop. With my image, I then added a new layer and selected a reddish color from the carriage to fill the layer with. I also added a black layer mask to the image. I then was able to use a variety of thick, heavy brushes at different opacities in order to paint the image back on or paint the image away (using black and white paint colors on the mask layer). I then added text and chose the 'screen' blending mode for the text and also slightly reduced the opacity of the text. Overall, I like the way it turned out and think that it is pretty post-card-ish!
This is so neat! I love the font you used, the colors and the overall picture. GREAT job. You should frame this one if you can.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice in colors for the border. The way you did it is great for this photo. I really like the transparent, thick text. It really is a good addition to this photo.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the color you used for the boarder. I think it went well with the pictures. The shot itself was a great shot of those old wagons at Bannack. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon. All I can say it wow! Good job on the boarder edit. I really like the warm colors. I like how you pulled the colors from the picture and used it for your picture.
