Sarina Lungarini Week 2

So for my assignment I mostly went around my yard with my dog accompanying me as well as around my dad's workplace. I was playing with the greyscale as well as the duotone, however this blog can't seem to upload the ones with duotone, I can't figure out how to get them to save as jpeg. I guess they can't? I also worked with contrast and brightness, though I was having trouble with photoshop as it occasionally wouldn't respond.

picnic bench near my dad's work

playing with greyscale on this one.

another part of the picnic table, I closed in on this  part of the chain.

this was an image I tried the duotone with and it didn't work so instead I greyscaled it and brightened it up and lowered the contrast.

I used greyscale on this but I made it a lighter color than the other.

I closed in on bark of a tree

Here I played with the brightness and contrast

I'm not sure if this last picture fits this weeks standards, I wanted to focus in on my dog but he jumped back as soon as I clicked my photo, I was trying to find ways to hone in on my dog but I'm still not used to photoshop, I thought I would post it in case there were ideas about it.
