PART I: CLONE STAMP & BRUSH
I looked at this image and I didn't think the kayakers interfered too much. I thought removing the kayakers was a cool thing to do to completely isolate the natural feel of the photo. You may have to enlarge these too see the difference, but I removed both kayakers as well as the right kayaker's water trail. I used the clone stamp as well as the brush in conjunction with the eye dropper to blend the colors together more smoothly.

The difference?
PART II: TEXT TOOL
I use this more than any other tool in Photoshop, besides maybe the move tool. Putting text on your image can enhance your photo and send a message when done right. Advertisers are really good at this. I decided to make my images look like simple advertisements.
I really liked what you did with the text tool on these photos. I could absolutely see each of these images being used as part of an advertising campaign. The simplicity of the Go Green message makes me think of the Got Milk? ads. I particularly like the Hike Vermont photo. The rugged style of your font choice connects with Vermont's rural character and fits well with the chosen photo.
ReplyDeleteThe cloning feature is a new favorite of mine - I often like photos without people and therefore really like how you used the clone feature to remove the people from the lake photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat cloning work, and even better type work. I've been rushed all week myself and wish I had more time to focus on these. You nailed the typography on the 'Hike Vermont' photo. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteJen - you are correct about the "got milk" ads - I believe I used the same font they used in that campaign (Futura)
