Assignment 6 - Self Portrait
Collage Self Portrait -- Relic of the Enlightenment
I've added my composite image with three self-photos, to the contact page of a previous website (now moved to this one).

All three photos are photoshopped, the lower one the most, and it was taken using the flash, timer, and tripod. The other two were screen camera captures that I liked well enough to keep.

I decided not to try to erase my wrinkles and blotches and sags, deliberately. It seemed more fitting, somehow.

Assignment 7A - Character Study
RadCon Gamers - February 2018
This is a Character Group, not an individual, and I hope the added interest will overcome the deviation from strict assignment instructions. These Board Gamers gave permission to be filmed as they played, and want copies.

The RadCon Science Fiction/Fantasy Convention is held during a weekend every February at the Red Lion Inn in Pasco, WA. Board Games and Video Games are a prominent part of it, colorful enough that I thought this was worth a try. (I am not myself a Gamer, but am a panelist on various discussions of SF/F and scientific topics.)

I took about 75 images using the tripod, sometimes with one leg resting on a chair seat, using both portrait and automatic program setting. I downloaded the images to my laptop and opened the promising ones in Camera Raw and adjusted just about every way there was, trying to get each image looking its best. From Canvas Raw, I saved them in Photoshop .psd, and opened them in Photoshop so that I could save them as .png format, which was not offered from Camera Raw.

Assignment 7B - Action Shot
Einstein and Bernie - February 2018
My dog, Einie, and his buddy, Bernie, love to "wrassle" and we all love to watch them. I took some pix with the camera's program pre-set at "Pet" and some at the "Sports" setting. The latter was more successful. The .jpg download to the laptop was edited using the Adjustment sliders in Photoshop, and saved as .png so it would show on the webpage.
