The first photograph on the top was taken in Portland, I was trying to work on value and contrast and different eye levels. In the images on the bottom, I was trying to change the colors of my original photo to create different moods. I worked on the photos on the Adobe Photoshop C56 (64)bit .

The photos that I took over the weekend are of different landscapes of Hood River. I tried to photograph the landscapes at interesting angles and lighting. My concentration idea is to take different photographs of Hood River and to take some of different places in Portland. I want to create different moods in my photos that fit the small town vs. big city theme. I’ll do that by taking photos that have different angles, lighting and colors so I won’t have to do a lot of editing. I do not have many photos of places in Portland yet because I didn’t have the time get there over the weekend, but I’m trying. I’ll probably mess around with Photoshop. This weekend I'm going to do some research on how I can take photos of buildings at interesting angles. I also took photos of a female basketball player over the weekend because that was my original idea, but I changed my mind.
