I was sitting outside on my front porch and noticed the shadow cast by the plant made a heart. I ran in and grabbed the camera and took a few pictures. Since it was night, I tried the night feature on the camera and it wouldn't capture the heart. I also, turned the porch light out and tried to use the light coming from the camera, no such luck. This was pretty much all I could get, until I manipulated it...

The most important thing to me was, I really wanted to keep the integrity of the night photo. I can still tell this was taken at night but everything is brighter. I used the fill light, highlight, shadow, and color temperature features. I then straightened and cropped the photo.

I picked this one because the left side of the photo is really dark. The one side of the cat looks like a big blob of black, lacking any definition.

This one is a lot lighter! I changed the fill light, then the highlights a little. I then changed the color temperature and noticed I could change the highlights again, which gave the cat more definition. After all this I cropped the photo.

I truly loved doing this assignment. I really just wanted to keep the color to a minimum, so I stuck with blue. The "T" was a photograph of a lamp in my house. I straightened it and used the infrared film feature to get rid of most of the color. The "I" is a staircase. I rotated, cropped and used the vignette feature. The "N" was a bright red, hand cart. I straightened, cropped changed it to black and white, then used the boost and vignette feature. The "A" was the one I was most worried about finding and it turned out to be my favorite! It was an A-frame which I straightened, cropped, and used the vignette feature.
