The main technique I used on this image was balance of effects. I didn't want to put snowflakes across the entire thing because that would be overwhelming. I also varied the types of icicles that are on the bottom of each letter to avoid repetition.
I used the black background because I thought it resembled a snowy winter's night. I chose this picture because it was my favorite from the workshop 6.

The techniques
I used for this picture were dark colors, saturation, and drawn in lines to create a type of photo that looked like someone had drawn it. I think the lines create good contour where there should be on the building. The clouds were converted into a pattern to make for a cool effect. I chose this photo because it shows an array of effects that can be used.


I guess you could say I used the technique of simplicity in this photo. I found a spot in my yard that was untouched snow and these 'pinwheels' were right next to that spot. I kept the whitebalance on auto because I actually liked the blue effect it was presenting. I added a white border because it fit in better with the colors than black would have. the mood for this picture could be seen as content, calm. I chose this picture because it uses the rules of 3rd in an evident way.


I used HDR on this to bring out the details. I used 3 shots. One with low contrast, one regular, and one with high B&C. The mood and theme would probably be daring since it's a sports car and it reminds me of a racing game. I chose this image because it's my favorite HDR image I've created and it shows another way photographs could be other art forms.

I cropped this part of the photo out from the original which was mostly the sky. I wanted to try to make a computer generated polaroid so I used the 'glamour filter' with density at 35 and on top of that i added the 'foliage' filter with density at 20 or so. I added more contrast over the whole thing. I added a chunkier border at the bottom to resemble the polaroid frame and a black thin border on the right side and bottom side just like real polaroids are. The mood is maybe...dreamy? That's what I think of anyhows. I chose this picture because it's a composite image of mine that used 4 layers and I just really like it.
