A small green sprout

New Life | May 21, 2012 | 8:11 pm | Rexburg, Idaho, BYU-I grounds | f/3.4 | 1/30 | Canon PowerShot SX130 IS

This is one of the earliest photos I have taken for school.  I knew nothing then of macro modes, ISO, or, really…anything.  I focused on the sprout, then shifted my camera left to get this shot.

New Life – Partial Cut Out

I partially cut out out this image using a combination of Photoshop CS6’s quick selection brush and the lasso tool, then I inverted the selection, deleted the pixels I didn’t want, and refined the edges.

Christmas Orange – Full Cut Out

I was able to use the polygonal lasso tool due to the box’s clean straight edges, then I cleaned up the selection with Photoshop Elements 7’s selection brush.
