Picture That Lied


The picture I chose was a picture of the sky, it originated off of an image search on google. I manipulated the picture by adjusting its hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast. I also brought in a picture of a pig in the sky. I though it would be clever to make a pig 'fly'. I altered the pig by applying a glow to it and its wings and by slightly feathering it. I also added some lightning bolt shapes to add dramatic effect as if the flying pig has just revealed itself to many people for the first time. The manipulation changes the focus of the picture from the sky to the pig in the sky. It was not really related to the article i read. the article (Young, Jeffrey R. "Journals Find Many Images in Research Are Faked. (Cover story)." Chronicle of Higher Education 54.39 (2008): A1-A11. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 13 Apr. 2010.) dealt mainly with fraudelent photographs that are not created for fun, like mine was. I do not intend on tricking or deceiving anyone with my photograph, so it is unlike the photographs Ms. Roovers doctored and released in her journal.
