Bushey Hill Road

First I used the clone tool to remove the power lines and the cow in the middle of the field. I used the dodge and burn tool to lighten and darken some areas.  I also used the smudge tool to blend in areas of the sky.  I then used the brightness and contrast tool for my end result.

First I chose the filter for light & shadow and use the supernova which added starburst to the points of the raindrop. I could adjust the ratio and color of the burst. I then chose, under filter, light & shadow, lighting effects; light 3. This alowed me to choose the type of light in the upper left hand corner-a lot of flexibility with the type and size of light, again the color option, and rays of light to shine. After the details, I then again used the dodge and burn tool to darken the background for my filtered raindrop.



I used the dodge and burn tool to create my own unique winter wonderland. I took these photos last sunday. It was the first snowfall at my house this year and it stayed almost all day long. First I lightened the whole picture with the dodge setting to see what it would actually do. Then I used the burn setting and played around with the shadowing. I really wanted to keep the focus on the depth of field so it seemed like you could be drawn into my picture.
