The After

This is a picture of the finished effect. I used my headboard as the texture in the back and i played with the hue saturation in order to get it to the blue color that it is now. I really like this picture because i worked really hard to make it and because i like how one of the layers is more bold than the other, and their for stands out more. This picture really seems to be all about the Jags eyes. I don't really now if you can tell but their are three jaguars in the picture two of them are faced-to-face and the other is toward the front. I like the finished look way better than i did with it before as just the two pictures together. 

The Before

This is the picture of the two Jag pics combined...... i don't know if i really like this picture. I like it better when its combined with the background picture. Right now it looks unpleasant to me, like its missing something, the texture.

Gerrrrrr........ JAG TIME!

The Jag Statue stands before the gates of Summit High School and now will be monumental in this, and Mrs. Ellman's other student's blogs. I focused more on his gazing eyes then i did last time, which is why i think they are better than last time. Those eyes are hypnotic and can stare into the soul of anyone passing by. The mouth that sits waiting to devour those poor Summit students........    (Man it sounds like I'm in love with this thing..... :) oh...well, I'm weird)

This is more pictures of the Jaguar Statue that i took for Mrs. Ellman's class. I choose to put them on top of each other so you could compare them. One is the original, only with crop, tone, caption, and save done to it. The second, below the original, is the ones that i altered other things in photoshop. I used things like charcoal, and stain glass, and glass to get them to look like that. I think that they are better than my first ones because i did a sort of before and after photoshop. I also like these better because they are taken closer and concentrate more on single parts instead of a unified whole.

                            

The Hidden Wonder of the World

Their are many things hidden among us in the world.....

But none are more RARE than the famous Nagelasorus. The hidden creature is a rare site among the locals. When taking the picture many of the watchers in the crowd, the locals, were stunned and confused about what was happening. Heads turned as i snapped the picture of the famous creature.

This is a photograph of the Summit High School Jaguar statue in the front of the school.
I took this photo the way that i did because i wanted to show some of my sister but still have her semi-hidden by the leaves in the first picture. I think that my picture is good because i tried not to have her just pose by standing in front of the statue, and i didn't show the whole statue. I also love her huge smile. ;) The second picture was manipulated in photoshop.

I  looked at some of the other Jaguar photos taken by my classmates and this is my favorite one its by Chen Ching.

The Cold Winter

My sisters and I went outside after school and had snow ball fights. This is what i wore to protect myself from the cold.

This is my oldest sister Angela and the dog is Echo. Angela demonstrates the strength and determination of Echo. He holds onto the toy even in the air.

This is when he came up to the camera and smelled it. EW! It left my camera wet.

 

I think my second photos are better because of the time of day that i shot them, and because it shows how i protected myself from the cold. I learned that its cold, from shooting in the cold. I also learned that snow is hard to work with, especially if it is snowing. I pretty much learned all the redundent things.

The Terror that is Echo.

This is a positive id of the  terror that attacked my sister

 

The culprit a little dog! this is my dog, his name is Echo. He is very mischievous. My sister was making a snow angel, and was attacked. These are pictures from the event.

He is jumping on her and biting and eating the snow. You can see in this picture how his whole face is in the snow. 

This is probably the one that i like the most because it looks like a mugshot. Where he is caught on camera.

The Feeling of being cold

These are some of the pictures that make me feel cold. The first one is after school some of the Key Club members at Summit recycled this is one of them. She pulled her hoody over her head becasue of the cold. After the people recycled they went back to the Lecture Hall and had some hot chocolate to help reheat themselves and help fight the cold. 

The rest of the photos were taken today and I added them because just looking at them makes me fell cold. They were all taken before I had to got to Ben Barber and they were taken outside of my house. The third photo shows my sister, who drives me to school. She looks excited to see the snow. The last picture is of the car from the inside and of how coated the windshield was with snow. It was awesome. I love the snow! 

Fun with my sister at UTA

At the ATPI contest, my older sister joined me and we had a whole bunch of laughs. We also took pictures together. We found this hidden place and went out onto a ledge and took pictures..... here are some of them. The one of the person taking the picture, thats my sister.

Bathroom Pictures

On Friday I went to the ATPI contest at UTA it was awesome..... For those of you who didn't go, you missed out. I also discovered some secrets hidden in the restroom.  I showed to Mrs. Ellman and my sister. It was a secret. A Postsecret.       

 

And some post secrets. Some of the secrets were very graphic and inappropriate, so I am not going to show the pictures of the individual secrets. 

 If your are ever at UTA at the performing arts center look this up, and add to the wall of secrets. So if your ever in the woman's bathroom then you should go to that room number and add your secrets. 

(P.S. when i saw that they had a post secret wall i wanted to know if they had one in the men's restroom, too. They don't, f.y.i, my sister and i checked to make sure.......Ya! I'm weird like that ... I'm not scared to go to the men's room)
