Doorway; f3.0; 1/45; 11/13/09; Rexburg, ID; 3:20pm; Samsung L830
Building; f7.7; 1/500; 11/13/09; Rexburg, ID; 3:15pm; Samsung L830

So, I took these two images and then had to significantly shrink down the doorway image. I measured the doorway already in the building shot and tried to make my doorway about the same size. I then layered the images on top of one another in Photo Shop and added a mask to the doorway. I then painted out the parts of the image outside the doorway in my picture and wa-la! A doorway to nowhere.

PumpkinHead; f3.0; 1/30; 11/13/09; 3:30pm; Rexburg, ID; Samsung L830

So, to take this image I held a little pumpkin in front of the camera at a distance appropriate to cover up my subject's real face. I figured that drawing a face on the pumpkin would be a nice touch. This pumpkin man has very large facial features :) I had to crop the top a tiny but to get the finger that were holding the pumpkin out of the shot.

Panoramic

I brought the images I took into PhotoShop and then used the photo-merge tool to "stitch" them together. I really think this option is awesome! After the images were brought together in one, I then cropped the image so that the noticible overlaps were eliminated. Lastly, I slightly addjusted the levels to help bring out the color and contrast. I wish the sky would have gotten more colorful that evening. . .

I took each of these images using a tripod. There were a couple additional pictures I took but ended up not using because the horizon was getting lower and lower in each image. . . I guess I still need more practice taking panoramic photos and using a tripod :)
