photoshop (lots of photos)

so i'm really getting into photography, and going along with that is photo editing. i'm brand new at it and still figuring out how to work the program i have. i'm getting the hang of it and i really love doing it. here's the stuff i'm most proud of i guess. some of them aren't a lot different than the originals, just a little coloring differences. i only edit my own photos that i've taken. i'll post the originals too.

thanks for looking. i love doing this stuff and i just wanted to share!

playing in/with photoshop is a nice way to pass a few hours! :P

Wow! I'm impressed with your skills in such a short time. Great pics BTW. What is that first pic?

Me Likie!!!! :D :sunny: :D Especially the last one.....

Nice work!!

Bamboo is my fave!!! That pic is super cool! :cool:

If I might make a suggestion.. Find the book "Photoshop WOW" it will give to examples of everything from neon effects, to focus blurs to mapping to the new and Oh so fun perspective plane tool.. I love that thing. I't tell you with pics and flahs demos on the CD how to apply every effect they show wrapping objects in and around with fire like in the "Ghost rider" movie or embossing a logo into the stone block side of a building photographed in perspective. Its a great book to have around so is the "photoshop bible"..Good luck and the more you play with it the better you'l get. Here a link to order it http://www.amazon.com/Photoshop-CS2-...0892742&sr=8-1

P.S on of my favorate trick is to blur everything in the background of my subject and the black and white the photo except of on object. I did it with our wedding photos I blured the backgound, black and whited the whole pics except of the sun flower she was holding..Really class stuff and easy to use with a little pratice.

i will definately look into it. i just ran a search for free photo editing programs on the internet and i found this one called gimp. it's really amazing and i can just sit for hours trying out the different filters and such. thanks for the advice!

Those are GREAT! Beautiful photographs, and fascinating 'shopping on top of that!
