I've been slaving away though, so I've got a couple of new ones for you.
I haven't put this one up yet though I think the photos were taken last Monday/Tuesday. They took a little play to get right. Murray was write that Photoshop is something you stumble around in order to learn.
So this is a mantage of Renee's facial expressions:
I realize its not the best Photoshop job.
I tried my best, but there are just some things I haven't stumbled upon yet it seems. Then there is the fact that you really can't put these two faces together to make it look like they belong together because they just don't fit together. Anyway, the effect is Frankenstein-like and I quite enjoy it.
In current news, I am in the computer lab and I have been sitting here so long that the last time this update auto saved was an hour ago. First, the ink was out. So, I started this blog. I called for it and apparently it is usually here in about 5 minutes, but 40 minutes later no ink. So, I called back, went to the library to sort it out, about 20 minutes later had ink in my hands and came back. Well, still no ink, no work. So, I tried the next cartridge. It said light cyan was out, so I brought Cyan. Well, cyan, my friends, is not light cyan, and there is a whole other side of ink catridges about 6 feet down the plotter from where I was, and there is the infamous light cyan which was causing all of my problems. 3 new ink catridges later, and a pissed off librarian, there is finally ink in the printer and its ready to print. BUT not quite. Because the paper wasn't loaded correctly. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I can't load paper worth a donkey's shit. So, here I am, its been 2 hours, my photos are sitting here waiting and I just can't get them off the computer. This is quite awful.
So I called in back-up. Karen just came with her roommate Steph and they figured out the paper thing, kind of, I think.... She held the pause button down after we fussed over everything in the menu for five to ten minutes, and it just reset. But now it has decided to be out of Light, light black ink. Even though it had some half an hour ago, and it hasn't let me print anything. Damn this printer to hell!!!!! Like, seriously, all of the levels of Dante's inferno.
UGh UGh and more UGh.
Karen and Stephanie are on their way to the library for me because I cannot go anymore. I will not go anymore. Upon their return, I better be able to print these freakin photos. And I will be soooo glad I am done!
On to some of the photos,
I worked on the religion one Friday with Karen. We had her meditating under two different trees out in the snow. The photoshoot only took about half an hour as it was nice and sunny out, no rain or other awful deterrents, and things went relatively well.
I tried a couple of different lenses and though my inital idea involved more of the tree being in the picture, I am very much a people person, so my favorite shot was with the 50mm, not the 24. It was an awesome shot, just the tree (which Karen picked out) and the way the sun was hitting it. Karen learned pretty quickly how to pretend to meditate. So that went well.
Yesterday (or maybe today, yes, today) I really am losing track of the days. I took a shot of our kitchen clock, and layered them together in Photoshop. Then liquified the clock, (I'm also getting addicted to liquify). It's just so useful!!
