Assignment #11

In Photoshop I would like to make my pictures look nicely altered to profection so that I can bring out the beauty and essence in the picture. I do not accept a sloppy job done. If it's not fresh than it's sloppy. And I don't like sloppy.

Assignment #7 photographer and lens.

Lauren polowick Is a unique photographer who photographs landscapes with a fisheye lens as opposed to a traditional 55mm or 18mm wide angle lens. This is particularly difficult because of the distortion caused by the lens makes it difficult to find a good composition because the lens makes it very tough to isolate sections of the scene.
