Scanography Montage
Wilson Golfing | Scanography Montage01 July 2010 • 11:00 pm | Rexburg, IdahoEpson Artison 810 | MAC | Photoshop CS5This one was a lot more fun. My roommate is a golf nut and had a bunch of golf balls and tees and even the box they came in. So I decided to blend these together and make an advertisement type deal with Wilson Golf balls. I really liked out it turned out. I didn’t want to do a border on this one because I really didn’t want to deal with it covering anything up and making a lot of changes to this just for a border.Editing:I scanned in 4 other images. One with just...

My life… | Scanography with Border01 July 2010 • 10:30 pm | Rexburg, IdahoEpson Artison 810 | MAC | Photoshop CS5This was kind of a fun assignment for our Digital Imaging class. We had to use our scanners to take the picture. I guess when you don’t have a macro lens, this would be the next best thing to use. Maybe. I don’t know.Editing:I created the background image using the red from the MT.DEW can and the car key and the used a mask layer and brush style on the original scan to show through to the background behind it. Then I added the text, “my life…”...

Phtography By Dustin Olsen | Fine Art Template16 June 2010 • 10:09 pm | Rexburg, IdahoPhotoshop CS5 | MACI actually rather enjoyed doing this template. I really liked out this turned out and I’m pretty sure that I’ll be using this technique more often.Editing:I used my shapes tool to create 5 perfect squares and then created clipping masks over top of it so that I could drop my Sunset Panorama and Wagon Wheel into it. I also used an element from my signature to include here that I generated in Adobe illustrator. I added a stroke and drop shadow around the boxes as well to help...

Park Patrol | Straight out of the camera18 June 2010 • 3:03 pm | Rexburg, IdahoCanon Rebel XS | 50MM | F/ 5.0 – 1/400 | ISO:1600 | EV: 0Trying to come up with an illusion straight out of the camera is really hard. Most of the time that I spent on this, I kept trying to do miniature effects, but it’s really hard because you have the right altitude and perspective and everything. But, with some inspiration, I figured I could make objects appear longer then they really were and that’s what I did here. This is Kris, my roommate, and we ran into his sister’s roommate,...

L.O.V.E. | Edge Effects31 May 2010 • 10:50 am | Rexburg, IdahoCanon Rebel XS | 28MM | F/ 7.1 – 1/125 | ISO: 200 | EV: 0This is another picture of my cousin Stacie and her sugar daddy, Justin. I needed another picture for my edge effects and I really liked how this turned out with the idea that I had for edge effects.Editing:As far as the picture goes, I did camera raw processing by boosting colors. Did my regular actions of “Boost” and “oh! Snap” and then started on the edge effect. I used the marquee tool to make all my shapes, but on one layer I would make...

Street Life | Moving Light Capture13 June 2010 • 9:53 pm | Rexburg, IdahoCanon Rebel XS | 50MM | F/ 18.0 – 4.0 | ISO: 200 | EV: 0Rexburg’s Main Street. I figured this would be a street busy enough to capture some moving light and do some of my other night pictures. However, I really don’t like having to wait till the night falls to take pictures. Especially when it gets cold at night in the middle of June. However, I just set up the tripod on the corner and set the shutter speed for 4 seconds. This wasn’t my favorite project to do but I still had fun.Editing:I did...

June 1st. | Holy Brick01 June 2010 • 2:09 pm | Rexburg, IdahoCanon Rebel XS | 80MM | F/ 5.6 – 1/100 | ISO: 200 | EV: 0This picture was taken in the alley’s by BRC’s. Just looking at it wasn’t much to catch your attention, but I figured the colors would be great to enhance and really bring this entire shot to life.Editing:I did camera raw processing by boosting colors and adding a vignette. In photoshop I used the “boost” action and “oh snap” action. I also added a small unsharpen mask filter to it as well to help… sharpen the image. I...

Photo Journal | 7 days – Complete07 June 2010 • 5:35 pm | Created by: Dustin OlsenPhotoshop CS5 | MACI didn’t want to go too crazy with my template, but I wanted to keep a nice traditional look. Like Rexburg! I really like how this turned out. Most of the pictures I took represent Rexburg. Even the picture for Thursday… that’s the stereo in my car and since I’m in Rexburg… I thought it was fitting.Editing:I took panorama picture to place behind as my background. I added horizontal and vertical grain filters to give it a canvas type effect to it. Then I...

Christie S. | Portrait30 May 2010 • 3:35 pm | Rexburg, IdahoCanon Rebel XS | 38MM | F/ 10.0 – 1/250 | ISO: 200 | EV: 0This was taken across the street from the Rexburg Temple. The blue sky, the green field, and Christie could only mean a good picture. I’ll be honest, I took this picture with intent to edit it. Christie hates having her picture taken but she was a great sport about the whole thing. Thanks Christie for putting up with all my crazy ideas.Editing:I did camera raw processing by boosting colors and adding a vignette. In photoshop I used the “boost” action...

Christie S. | Model This! (Portrait Enhancements)30 May 2010 • 3:59 pm | Rexburg, IdahoPhotoshop CS5 | iMACI had a dilemma with this picture because Christie ended up being the only person in focus and so with my edit, I just emphasized on on how she was the focus of this picture. It actually turned out to be better than I had anticipated!Editing:I did camera raw processing. Added a vignette around the edges and boosted the colors. I also used the boost action in photoshop. I made a selection of Christie and then added a motion blur and then a Gaussian blur on top of that to get rid of the...
