This first picture is a picture of a sculpture of a bridge troll. This is in Seattle, WA. The VW Bug in the sculpture is an actual VW Bug. This sculpture is very large. I chose the mezzotint filter for this photo. I chose this filter because I felt that it enhanced the ominous-ness of the troll. This filter increased the contrast greatly making the darks darker and the lights lighter. It also has a grainy appearance which increases the other-worldly sense.

This is a picture of a stream leading to a waterfall at Mt. Rainier. The filter I chose for this picture was the dry brush effect. As you can see it makes the picture look like an impressionist painting.

This is a picture of a street sign that I saw while walking. The pictures of the people and the flying books combined with the text caught me as mildly hilarious. The filter that I chose for this picture was glowing edges. This transformed the photo into a neon sign. I thought that this effect was striking and made the image pop. I added a second filter, plastic wrap, to this image. This gave the sign a sense of depth and substance. After applying the filter the sign felt like a large block of plastic

This is a picture of the downtown Seattle shoreline. This was taken from a ship running tours around Puget Sound. I like this picture with the Space Needle. The filter that I chose was "posterize". This filter gave the picture a gritty urban feel. A similar effect was used in the introduction for a television show called, “Becker”.

This unfortunately is not a picture of the Mt. Rainier summit, but is from that mountain range. It was clouded over the day that I went. The filter I chose for this picture was the crosshatch filter. I like this filter because it makes the picture look like a painting. It has a sense of the romantic and is a bit impressionistic.
