The newest school shown above is Virginia Beach Middle School. There are 2 photographs shot from 2 different view points. Once a deiscion made, one of these panos will be printed in full size and be presented to the Principal of VB Middle as a gift from  Lifetouch. This was another fun  project to work on because the architecture of this school is brand new. This school went through an extensive reconstruction overhaul from being a mere 1 level structure school to a magnificient 3 story tall school. Thank you Kim for this opportunity!

Last night I download the trial version for the new CS5 Photoshop Extend program for Mac, with plans on buying the program. WOW! insane program. The 2 newest features that this program had is the Content-Aware Fill and Spot Healing Content Aware.  Content-Aware Healing option that lets Photoshop examine the actual contents of your image as it tries to figure out the best way to remove or repair the damaged or unwanted area you've clicked on. Content-Aware Fill , on the other hand, lets us repair or replace larger, more complex areas, and even multiple areas at once, simply by drawing selections around them and letting Photoshop do the rest! The Spot Healing Brush is still best suited for smaller areas that we can easily click on or paint over. (Removing the water spots) click to enlarge image

This photo will be printed in full size and be presented to the Principal of CLMS as a gift from Lifetouch. This was a fun and awesome project to work on. This project really meant a lot to me especially being that this particular middle school, is the school that I went to when I was younger. I love creating beautiful panos. Thank you Kim for this opportunity!

...so judging from the last post I didnt purchase the late model Canon 5D, in fact I choose to purchase the newer version of Lightroom. Here just a few photos that I experiment with today. Do varies things like burning and dodging, desatuarting colors, fading, vignetting, and just plan old basic retouching. I love this program and I recommend to other people. I found out with this version when export your images with a watermark just like you can do with Lightroom 2. But the difference is you can change the font, style, size, opacity, and placement of the watermark!
