Moving hand

Another exercise with flash. I have been taught to use motion tween and in between technique for this exercise. This hand is an example for the in between. I have modified it a bit so it may look a bit different from the exercise in class.

Slaying the Leviathan

This is the exercise which i have been given in class, an experiment of grids,....

My 4th entry

This owl is made by using letters, numbers and symbols. I used Century Gothic font to create it. This was made last semester during the Type creature assignment

My car tracing^^

Hi^^

This is my work after finishing. It took me about 3 days to trace and fill color in it. Personally, I put all my effort into tracing this car :P. Totally, there are 150 big layers.

Pen tools, Gradient tools, Inner Glow, Outer Glow are applied together to make this car. Hope U guys like it :D

My work

Castles

This is another experiment i made during freetime. I've recently learnt the technique to make cloud, so i thought i would make a "castle in the sky" . However, due to my bad drawing skill and photoshop, i have messed up a lot. Although we can still figure out it is castles, it doesn't look very good. :D

Photos

Last semester break, my family and me have gone to Mui Ne-Phan Thiet on tour. Today i will post a few of my photos that i took during the vacation. I'm not a photographer and this is the first time i took photos, so they do not look so well. Please take a look and comment so i can improve my shooting skill :D.




















The photo above is the one i took when going on Mui Ne Beach. The concept here is i want to make it constrast between the sky and the sand. However the color of the sky was not very good, so i used the levels adjustment and Color/Brightness to make it look a bit lively.













This one is the first photo i took of flowers. There are many kinds of flowers in this resort where i stayed, and sadly, most of them i don't know about +_+. When i shoot this flower, i want to make it look more appeal on the background, and the behind chairs and the road should look blurry, that way it will look more indepth. I took advantage of the white balance tool on my Sony Cyber shot camera to make the flower look pinky red, i think i like that color :D.
















This is another photo i took of "hoa giấy". Actually,i forgot to mention the name of this flower on the photo above and i don't know what "hoa giấy" is in english ="=, blame me for make lack of flowers knowledge.













Another mysterious flowers that i don'n know about ="=. In this photo, i take an angle where the ray of light go through the flower. As we can see, the brightness of the flowers look unrealistic ... I think it looks a b it strange and interesting ;)).













This is another photo i took using the the depth of field techique, but it doesn't look too good. I
wonder why '_'.














This is a strange photo. I saw lots of flowers with all kind of colors in a jar. They say it is for decorative purpose and blissful. I think it is a brilliant idea, since the whole resort was covered in flowers and trees, making a jar full of flowers and put it in the receptive room now and there make it even greener.
























In this photo, i want to make the flower gate-i named it-looks old and serenity, the tranquility of sitting below the gate and listening to the birds singing in the morning is incredible. I have applied color mode in this photo to make it black and white, and used a bit of levels in photoshop to make it constrast.


















This one is a funny photo. I saw those two things on the ground, one lies up and one lies down. I think it is pretty funny that way :D, but it has no particular meaning though :D.






















This one is one of my favorite. There are a whole field of flowers like this, and i only take one flower which i think the most beautiful one. I have adjusted the color mode using the fluorescent setting, so it looks a bit bluish.

Stars

Hello
This is the second entry of my blog. Actually this is just another experiment i made during these few days.
The below is the another pic i took when i was in Phan Thiet.























After awhile, i made it become like this






















I have used lasso tool, blur tool, extract filter, Clone stamp tool, Gaussian Blur, lens flare....
Actually, this is just an experiment to create a star field. The result was not very good, as you can see. The star field looks a bit unrealistic. Actually, to make a star field on a real picture is somewhat hard.

First i have taken out the sky and the human in the first picture. Then i apply a darker theme to the whole desert using Bright/Contrast tool. The picture has a darker and isolated theme. Then i began to make a new section to create the stars.
Basically, there are 2 parts in making a starfield. I used the first layer called "Small stars". I applied Noise to this layer. Then reduce the brightness and contrast to an appropriate amount. Then dublicate this layer to make a new layer called "Big stars". I used Brightness/Contrast to make it even darker, so that only the bigger stars left. After that, i dublicate the layer, and make the blur using Gaussian blur, in order to make a glowing side for the stars. Finally, i made another layer and used Black Background and add the Len Flare filter.

First post

Hello everyone,
This is my first blog post .
After the first 2 weeks study DIM2, i've realized that my skills in photoshop are no where near the acceptable limit. So i decided to study hard.
After some attemp of making and screwing up, i have built up some so called the first *beep*...
The below is a picture of flower i took when i was on a tour to Phan Thiet












And this is the image of flowers after taking off the background. I've used Extract and lasso tool to take out the whole background. It is so time-wasting and unbearable. But it's done.












This is the final product. In this last step, i have taken advantage of the pen tool. Actually, i'm not very pleased with the result. I should pay attention more to the position of the flowers, why the thorn still looks not as smooth...













I've used somes skills learning in class to apply, such as extract, blur, lasso tool and pen tool...
