Then I added saturation in red and yellow to bring out the orange in the building. In this photo however, I wanted the blur to be gradual. starting with a shallow field, my goal was to slowly see the blur increase as it went further into the distance. You can se...

Computer Art meets Photography

Below are graphic posters I designed for last year's art show but never completed. I used techniques learned in both this class as well as the Digital Photography class.

The black and white images gave many more options to work with.
