Day For Night Exposure

I took pictures of pea plant flowers from the school garden. The first 3 each show the different ISO settings. And the last half shows the different ranges of the light meter on each pic. I didn't really master the 'day for night' exposure, and in the beginning I had the idea planted in my brain, and the concept faded away a little during the practice shots.

This was taken with an ISO of 100. 

This was shot with an ISO of 400. I also forgot not to make drastic edits in lightroom for this. So all the colors and the lighting are altered. Oops.....*smh*

This was shot with an ISO of 1000.

Light meter ranges

This was shot with ISO 400 at -2 on the light meter.

This was shot with ISO 400 at -1 on the light meter.

This was shot at ISO 400 at 0 on the light meter.

Flower Power

To make the flower look like its shooting out magic and lights, I used the standard paint tool to add the white dots. A few dots at the base of the flower, and transitioning to a bigger size as it flows out. To give the bokeh effect, I 'spread' the dots by 7-9%. I boosted the opacity to 33%, and made the size around 40%. This was all done using the outer glow in the layer. In the next layer with the strokes, I used the pen tool, then ctrl clicked on one of the lines. I selected the stroke path of a brush, and made sure to simulate the pressure. I used the same steps to create the soft glow around the bokeh, to the wispy strokes. There were pen lines inside the glowing strokes, but when I saved the final overall picture, it got rid of them. 

Animals

The dogs in these pictures are of my neighbor's dog charlie, and my sister's dog Milo

 Scared Charlie

     I asked my neighbor real quick if I could take some pictures of her dog. So...this is Charlie. He's a Corgi. Corgis are known to be energetic and obedient, but can be aggressive at times. So here was Charlie, taking a bath after playing outside. He was pretty scared of me, and he hates water as well. SO I thought that this pic was good at capturing his emotion of fear and sorrow. His ears are somewhat folded back, his eyes have a depressing look. I edited this in lightroom and based my changes of a preset of B&W- Look 3. I turned down the blacks a bit, the darkness of the wet fur was seemed a little too distracting.
