Color Pop

I chose to shoot pictures and then convert them to color pop.  When editing for color pop that first thing you have to do is create a duplicate layer and then desaturate your image. Once you do that you can erase the desaturated image and let the color pop through.  The hard thing about using color pop is making sure that you aren't being really boring and unoriginal.  Many people have popped colors on dresses or flowers or eyes.  I chose to use the photo of the candle because I thought it was different.  I thought that the flame looked cool because the color pop gave it glowing, hazy effect.

ISO: 400
Aperture: 2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/250

Visual Puns

A visual pun is an image or images used to show words. For example, hotdog could be shown by a picture of a dog in a fir. iPod could be eyeballs in a pea pod.  These are examples of visual puns.  This assignment was meant for us to create a funny image by applying all of the editing techniques we have learned so far in class.
