Here a merge has occurred. The person in the photo above may seem like one person, but it is not. Using photoshop, one can create a whole new person when merging people. Firstly, make sure that the photos you are using have a model whom are positioned the same -- you can manipulate the face with a warp tool --so the process of the merge is much easier. The top two photographs are half of my face and half of a fellow peer, Kelly. The bottom photograph is simply a combination of Kelly's hair, smilie, and scarf/shirt with my eyes, eyebrows, and nose; while combing our skin color to create a more blended skin tone. Remember you can click on the photograph for an enlarged photo for better viewing.

In my Digital Photography class, I have been using Photoshop to edit my photos that I have taken. I am currently on Chapter 6, lesson 5, page 6-23. Here I learned how to add the Bevel and Emboss style with the Layer menu and Modify Bevel and Emboss settings and appy 3D Extrusion.
Here, I took a portrait of my dear friend Kelly. Portraits focus on a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. The model in this picture conveys a sense of bliss, as she is laughing. Reasoning for not having the photograph in color is simply because I want to viewer to have no distractions in order to capture the pure happiness. Having black and white also allows the viewer to have admiration for the photograph, as we live in a world filled with color; we see in color and when we see a black and white photograph, so it captivates the black and white causes a switcheroo to the eye. The strong contrasts to the subtlety tones display all the expression and mood that was meant to be portrayed in the photograph, while color would cause distraction.
I took this photograph in hopes to grasp the idea of depth of field. Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears sharp. So what appears sharp? At first glance, the middle leaf captures the viewers eye, as all the other leaves and rest of background is blurred, leaving that one middle leaf clear and visually appealing. This tactic is to keep focus on one part of the picture, leaving it doggo. This creates the blurred background and foreground, so that the focus remains in the middle. Depth of Field does not always have to be in the middle though. No, the focus could remain in the foreground with a blurred background or vice versus; it all depends on what you as a photographer want to keep on the focus.
For my class, we had to create a design on a tee shirt. The project was for W.A.S.C. and the tee shirts are for the teachers to wear. At our school, we have something called the G 3's in which incorporate our graduation goals. The first design was made specifically for the teachers, while the second allows the sponsor to be included: Gear Up. Gear up is a program through Palomar College that has helped many students get their graduation requirements. The G 3's are simple as they are a reminder for the students that we can rip through them, hint the "ripping through the G's" on the tee shirt.
