First photoshop experience -- almost a nightmare

Today was rather exciting. For the first time ever I began to use photoshop. Now I will not call myself an expert because photoshop is incredibly confusing, and I feel like it could take months to figure out the endless possibilities it is known for. However, I was able to figure enough of it out to design three pictures.

This being the first of my creations. There are four separate images in this one picture. I figured out how to use layers and change opacity to give my images the effect that they are blending into together.

This is my second image, and my favourite. I used three separate images, and played around with opacity and texture. 

This is my last one of the day. As you can see there is a lot more detailing in it. Textures, dots, opacity, text, and various different images. However, for a beginner like myself this took pretty much half my day. I imagine as i become more familiar with photoshop. For the animals I had to individually go around them with a cropper and get each like the best I could. That is what probably took the most time.

Hope you enjoy. :)

No oil-tankers.

Currently in Canada there is an ongoing debate wether Enbridge should build twin pipelines from Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia. Each pipeline is approximately 1,100 km long, passes through over 800 rivers and streams transporting toxic bitumen, and would allow over 200 oil-tankers to pass through the Great Bear Sea every year potentially harming those who inhabit the area. If there were to be an oil spill, and believe me there will be (the oil-tankers will be passing through very narrow areas and fjords) it would devastate the natural ecosystem that resides there. Currently, the area is home to several species of Pacific salmon, whales, orcas, dolphins, among land mammals such as wolves and the Kermode Spirit Bear. 


Wether you believe in the threat of global warming or not it is unreasonable to allow the Northern Gateway Project to proceed knowing that it is going to destroy the beautiful British Columbian coast. For more information please check out the following links...

Please say no to oil-tankers off the coast of BC.
