Retouched Picture

This is the original picture but I worked with her eyes making them pop and then I played with the layers to make the picture darker and added some blush then worked on little spots on her face with the heal tool and the brush and stamp tool. Down here is the retouched picture.

New Facebook "Profille" Picture

This picture was taken by Lauren Lewis-

And it's an amazing picture but I used the curves tool to change the color and shadows a bit then added blush and used the liquify tool to remove the bump on my chin area. The final piece of work-

Hands

Here is the original picture, the lighting is lighter and the hands aren't centered.

Now down here the hands have been cropped to be in the middle and the lighting has changed a little then there are small parts where I have used the healing tool, to end up with this picture.

Flower (Before and After Editing)

This is the original picture up above before all the edit I did, I liked the color and everything but I felt the colors were too soft for my taste so...

I worked with the layers and made it darker to make the pink in the flower pop a little more and I cropped it so the flower, and not the envelope or package together, is the main focus. I felt that by making it darker it added a little more emotion to it, a darker emotion that can really be taken however people want to.

Shoes Picture

This is the original picture taken but after working a little with the layers and different brushes we come to the awesome new picture.

Parts of a DSLR camera

Parts of a DSLR Camera;

• Body- the main part this is where all the settings are all the dials and where you add the lens. It's also where you put the battery in and the memory card.
• Lens-the lens are from where you shoot the camera, the light reflects off the lens into your picture. Its also the frame for your picture, you can zoom making your picture tighter or loose and there are a lot of different ones that you use to shoot; depending on the picture or occasion.                                             
• M-this is the manuel setting, you can control the shutter speed and aperture. 
• A-this is the aperture setting, you control your aperture size and the shutter speed is done automatic 
• S-this is the shutter setting, you can control the shutter speed and the aperture size is done for you.
• P-this is the fancier version of auto the program setting, both shutter speed and aperture  is done for you but you still have more control over your picture then when its set to auto.
• Auto (green picture)-its the easiest setting you just point, aim, and shoot.
• Shutter Button-one of the most important parts, you press this button half way down to focus then all the way down to take the picture
• Setting Dial- its the little round dial usually next to the shutter button where you can set your camera to the setting you want.

Exposure-

         The exposure is all about the light you let into the camera leading to your picture. To much light and your photo can be too bright or white looking washed out. To little and they will look dark and shadowy. With Shutter Speed you really have to time it because the whole time your shutter is open and light is coming in. If its open too long a lot of light comes in and so the picture may be overexposed or if not enough light come in it can be underexposed. With the Aperture setting its like a hole in the lens where light comes through so again the size is important, too big means a lot of light and too small means no light.
