HDR

Ghostly, I took the three pictures of this doll and put them into HDR and chose the painterfly. I thought it gave the colors and textures a more ghost like nature. The three photos had F/8.0, f/6.3, f/5.6, 1/125 and were taken on my CanonPowerShotELPH500HS

Welcome to church, I set the TA's camera up on the tripod and then had the hardest time getting the angle I wanted. I ended up dropping the back leg down so that it was leaning back at an angle that allowed this shot. I then took the photos into Photomatix and drastically turned the saturation up. 

Edits

Here I matched the color from CreepStare and On the Rocks to retain some of the natural colors that the bright sun bleached out. I simply put both pictures in photoshop with creepstare on top then chose the match color.

CreepStare: in this photo I removed all zits with spot removal and than evened skin tones with the eye drop select and brush.

Beebs & Cab, I added more contrast by adding a level and then smoothed out complexions with the brush tool and added white to their teeth pulling from their natural color.

On The Rocks redone, I added contrast bumped up the color in her lips and earrings and smoothed out complexions.

CheesGrin, in this photo I added the depth back in by giving her lowlights and highlights, whitened her teeth, and added aqua back to her earrings.

On the rocks: original picture that I pulled the color for the match from.  In this photo I played with Breanne's eyes making them a purple blue.

For Breanne I spot removed all blemishes and then added color from her scarf to her lips. I brushed her skin tone even and then added color into her earrings.

Group Activity, 2/4/12, Benson parking lot, f/8.0, 1/80, CanonPowerShot,ELPH500HS. Only editing I did for this picture was to make it black and white.

Environment, 2/4/12, Snow Black Box, f/ 5.8, 1/60, CanonPowerShot,ELPH500HS I put in a level and turned the exposure up and made the picture a little warmer.

Full, 2/4/12, Gardens, f/7.1, 1/80, CanonPowerShot,ELPH500HS I cut this image down so there was less of everything else and more of her.

Laughing couple, 2/4/12, f/8.0, 1/80, CanonPowerShot,ELPH500HS I did a lot with this image trying to smooth out her complexion but leave the color in her cheeks. There are a few spots where that didn't work so well for a reason I could not figure out. I softened the bright light on them, smoothed the complexion with the brush tool, took color from her scarf and added it to her lips, whitened her teeth, and added the color back to her earring.

Here I added color to her eyes and brushed her skin even and then whitened her teeth.

 These are my friends Breanne and Caleb who were so kind to let me take pictures of them. They are not actually a couple they had me take couple shots so that they could prank a mutual friend who is on her mission. That is why I was able to get so many fun shots of them laughing. They were super uncomfortable with standing so close to each other.

Alley, 1/28/12, 11:50, Idaho Falls, f/2.8, 1/125 This alley is in downtown I.F. in raw I turned up the warmth, made the blue bolder and put the contrast back in.

Swans, 1/28/12, 4:04, Rexburg, f/8.0, 1/125 These Swans were flying overhead as I was headed to the computer lab and I love swans so I used it. I made the image sharper, dialed up the pinks in the wings and put the blue back into the sky. I then put a swipe of darker blue around the left side for contrast.

This is the view of the temple and the waterfall in Idaho Falls. Sadly the temple was super small in the shot. I added saturation and some contrast to make it more true to what I saw.

For this picture I used an adjustment layer darkening the picture. I then went in and masked out some darkness so that the flower would have highlights of color.
