Photoshop Exercise 1!


Bobby Bandiera sings Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at the Count Basie Theatre. At the Count Basie Theatre a Review of "Hope Concert III, " benefit featuring Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bobby Bandiera, Mark Pender, Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg, Tim McLoone & the Shirleys. Photo by ARISTIDE ECONOMOPOULOS/THE STAR-LEDGER


This photo is an all-encompassing photo that basically captures Bandiera in a seeming act of adulation to his audience. For this photo, I cropped it down to 220 px x 332 px. After cropping, I used curves for color adjustments and lastly, sharpen for a clearer image.


The 332 px x 220 px crop of this is purely selfish. I simply wanted to stare at his gorgeous electric guitar that probably cost a fortune. To get this, after cropping it down to desired size, I did auto color first to see how it would adjust it and I like how it did it. After doing that, I adjusted color and sharpened. Voila!

This photo I cropped to 135 x 101 px. Since the photo is so small, I wanted to keep it simple and limited my actions to a slight adjustment to the color with curves and sharpening it.



This photo is also super small but it has a different focus. I wanted to concentrate on the beautiful artwork inside the church, the stained glass windows and the two painting-that are partially cut off on both upper extreme corners. I first cropped the image to 280 px x 100 px. I pressed auto color first just to see how it would change the picture. I love how it brightened up my main focus, the glass windows. To reduce yellowness, I used curves again and sharpened it and there goes a beautiful masterpiece.

ALLEGED GUNMAN ROAMS STONY BROOK CAMPUS



Stony Brook University students and faculty received mass alerts in response to the report of an alleged "armed perpetrator" on campus.














Press conference held with campus police around 4 p.m. after mass media coverage was reported about the incident.



Did you run or hide???



How did you react to the SB Alert?






I called my mommy.
Angrily ran out looking for the perp
Flew to Canada
Frantically installed sturdy dorm locks

Web 2.0


Web 2.0 is a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core.
Or more simply put by Tim O’Reilly who coined the actual term: “The web as a platform.”

Basically, the web has evolved from the knowledge of a specific website, typing it in and entering that specific site into a more cooperative entity where sites like facebook.com can allow for more social interactivity. These sites are the platforms that build ties within the web, something we never had before. I do believe that it can change and that it will continue to evolve, seeing as how we have not reached the peak of maximum potential in the web. When we do reach that maximum, evolution of the web will brake.
