Creating Shadows

In this image, i cut out all the guys from a different image, and pasted them on this street image. After i did that, I created a shadow for each of them specifically by using the quick selection tool, and magnetic lasso tool, then painting it black and moving it diagonal from the guys. Once it was in place I skewed it, then dropped the opacity so it resembled a real shadow.

Texture, Line, Pattern

I took this picture of the pavement to represent texture and pattern.



This picture of a bridge is here to represent a line.



This stone wall is to represent a pattern.



This picture of a pond is to represent a line. (The outline of the pond)

Grunge

** These 3 photos were taken in Beaufort, South Carolina!**

In these photos i did a grunge affect to all of them. This means i kind of darkened them up in a way, and added borders that I painted on with different brushes.







Spooky, Scenic, Seasonal

**All these pictures were taken in Beaufort, South Carolina!**

I took this picture because this is a famous tree that we have all seen in "Forrest Gump". I think it represents spooky very well because of how old it looks and because of the spanish moss on it.



I took this picture on a donkey farm in SC. This is what there fall season looks like down there. All the trees get invaded by spanish moss.



This picture represents partially spooky and scenic.



This is a spooky picture of an old abandoned car wash that clearly has not seen business in quite some time.



This is also a picture of the famous "Forrest Gump" tree. I climbed into to get this view of the large scary branches.

Kaleidoscope

This is an image that i found on the internet. Its a water lily that i cut into triangles then rearranged.



This is an image that i painted. I used natural brushes, heavy wet brushes, and feather brushes. Then i cut the images into triangles and rearranged them so they look like a kaleidoscope.

Carter's Mountain

These next 5 photos are photos that i took but have not edited in any way!

















On this photo i added a text layer and darkened some of the colors.




I took this photo of a fallen apple i found. I edited the color, and added a text layer.




This is a picture i took at Carter's Mountain. Carter's Mountain is a place where people go to pick fresh apples. I edited this picture and made it black and white, then added color splash to make the apple red again.
