New Borders
Fine Art Template
Mountains; 5/27/12,5:00:02 PM; Salt Lake City; f/13; Shutter 1/250; NIKON D5100
This border uses the fine art template. I started with a white background, and then added 5 rectangles to create the clipping mask of the mountain image from. Then I added the type on the bottom. My signature was being a pain, and so it didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked, but it works for now.
Burned edges
Sunset; 5/16/12, 8:37:028 PM; Porter Park, Rexburg, Id; f/6.3; Shutter 1/320; NIKON D5100
When I took this picture, I was trying to take portrait pictures for that assignment a few weeks ago, and I loved this sunset. I wish it didn’t have the power lines in it, but I didn’t have the time to edit those out. for the edits, I cropped the picture to get the pole on the side out, then added a new layer with the “multiply” blending mode around it and masked out the middle, leaving a border around the edge, and then added a 5 pt stroke on the inside of the border.
Burned edges (again)
Salt Lake in the Dark; 5/27/12, 9:17:26 PM; Draper, Utah; f/4.2; Shutter 1/10; NIKON D5100
I really liked this sunset as well, and so I did another burned edges border.I took this Memorial day weekend while I was with my family, and I liked it. I used the same technique as above.
Sprayed Edge Border
Sisters!; 5/28/12, 3:39:39 PM; Sandy, Utah; f/5.6; Shutter 1/320; NIKON D5100
For this effect, I started with cropping the picture so it focused more on just my sisters. Then I used a quick mask, and added the “Sprayed strokes” filter to the selection. Then I reversed the selection, and filled the border with the green from the lawn, and added the “Sisters!” text at the bottom.
Double Fade Border
Blue Flowers; 5/28/12, 10:25:57; Draper, Utah; f/8.0; Shutter 1/200; NIKON D5100
Last but not least was the blue flowers. For this border, I cropped the picture to a 9×7 and then added a 1″ border around the outside. Then I added another layer that had a white square with the inside masked out that I used the motion blur filter with a 45 pt distance, and both 0 and 45 degree angles.
Liesl I think you did a great job with these pictures. I especially like the pictures that you added borders too. My favorite one is the picture of the two sisters that you added. I also really like the burned edges with the sunset that you did, because it makes it more interesting and makes it so we have more to look at. Also, great job on your blurred lights and the light sketch pictures. One thing that I would try to fix, however, is on your light painting picture. The slide looks a little out of focus. Other than that, your pictures are great!

Liesl, I loved your porter park sunset photo. Rich colors, good silhouette of the trees, and great composition. I also think your mountains photo is magnificent! Where were you? I know it says SLC, but it looks like you have a high vantage point. On your SLC night lights photo there is a tuft of grass in the lower left hand corner that could be distracting, a simple black brush/clone stamp/or closer crop could take care of that easily. Overall well done!
Thanks Chris. I was on the road somewhere headed to Sandy when I took the mountains picture, my Dad was driving, and I loved the clouds around them, combined with the snow on the top and the green toward the bottom of the mountain.
The overlook of Salt Lake with the sunset was taken in Draper by the temple there. We had gone out to walk my brothers bike race the next day, and I had brought my camera, It had gotten to dark to take a picture of anything else without the flash, and I didn’t have a tripod, so I started taking pictures of the city.
