This is a photo of one of the ferris wheels at the Arizona State Fair. To edit this photo, I used adjustment layers to increase the vibrance. I then added a white border. Lastly, I added the text "Arizona State Fair 2014" and used a gradient overlay.
This is a photo of my youngest son, Trent, on one of our trips to South Mountain in Phoenix. I created a selection using the Quick Selection tool in order to isolate the sky. I then applied a cloud filter to add clouds to the sky, I then added the text "South Mountain" and added a gradient overlay.
This is a picture of my oldest son, Troy, riding his new bike on Christmas morning. First, I cropped the photo in order to remove some of the unnecessary background and focus more on Troy. Next I used the Clone Stamp tool to duplicate some of the smoother areas of the street. Lastly, I used a black and white adjustment filter to give the photo a classic feel.
