Panorama, High Definition Resolution, and Layering

Panorama: 

I love this picture because I think it shows the true beauty of Portland. I love the color detailing in this photo, and how deep the blues and reds are in it. To edit this photo I darkened it a little bit, and also adjusted some of the colors and contrast. I then blended all 7 photos into a panorama on Photoshop, which gave me this final image. 

Layering: 

I love this picture for many reasons. This photo is an example of layering two photos on top of each other, making each slightly transparent so that they can both be seen. The first photo is a picture of a present bow, which I edited to give it a golden tint. The second photo is a picture of lights wrapped around a tree, and I used camera shake to drag out the lines. I think that these two pictures complement each other perfectly by contrasting in color and shape. 

High Definition Resolution (HDR)

For this picture, I blended three photos together that were all taken in the same spot, but at different exposures. I used a very underexposed photo, a normally exposed photo, and an overexposed photo of the river for this picture. I adjusted the colors and detailing, which gives it more of a painted effect. I think that this picture is almost like a fantasy, given the color combinations and beautiful textures created by the river and clouds.
