A broad perspective Photo by: Clarisa Quintero

 Capturing this Panorama shot was one of the easiest projects I personally found to do so far. In order to capture this picture I had to mount my camera onto a tripod, figure out what area I was going to shoot, and take several shots while looking through the view finder and making sure the little arrow in the middle was aligned in the center through out each shot. After I captured the entire area, I had to take my pictures into Photoshop, open my file and select Browse bridge, select all my photos , and then I went into my tools and selected Photoshop and then selected photomerge. After doing this I chose the Reposition only option because it best fitted the type of photo I had shot. Once I had completed all this I flattened my image and then cleaned the picture up by cropping it a bit .

            In order to capture this shot i had to mount the camera onto a tripod and then shoot 4 separate photos and then open each of them into photo shop . I had to make sure I had one solid picture that set the background and then went into my layers and starting at my first picture, I took the eraser tool and erased all  the area around that I know I  didn't want to show up in my next 3 layers. I continued this process with all 4 of my pictures which in the end, resulted in this Multiplicity shot.

Describing me

                                                          Me-By: Clarisa Quintero

My name is Clarisa Quintero. I was born in El Centro, Ca but raised here in Escondido. Meeting me first hand you may see a  girl who doesn't really say much and is always to herself. But once you dig a little deeper and take the time to get to know me you'll see that there is so much more to me than that. I end up transforming into this whole other person who isn't afraid to speak her mind, which i sometimes end up catching myself getting into trouble because of, and who will go out of my way just to make sure that i'm always there for those who i am close to. I'm often described as outgoing and sarcastic. My hobbies  include playing Volleyball, hanging with friends, and watching good movies with good company. My goals in life after graduating High School is to go to a Community College out by the coast and then transferring out after 2 years to a University that has an amazing Social Work program and major in that, hoping to later become a Social Worker. I chose to be in photo for a second year because I found it interesting on how they're so many different ways and techniques that can be used when it comes to taking a picture.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

                                            Saying goodbye to Summer- By: Clarisa Quintero

 This image was from a final photo project I had done last May and had involved in my end of the year Portfolio. The reason why I chose to Color Splash this specific photo was because i thought it would make the colors in the flower stand out a bit more and help make others realize and appreciate the bright colors that you wouldn't normally think of if shot in regular formation. In order to accomplish this technique I had to open the photo up in Photo Shop, adjust my layers, take the Magnetic lasso and go around the area that I wanted to pop out. After doing that I went into my exposure and contrast settings and played with them a bit until I got the colors to right were I wanted them to be. Lastly, I went into myimage settings and desaturated my background.
