******Hands Challenge******

The Kidz debut on treklens...

We are a photography club led by cjpalmer - a group of 9 - 12 year olds.

We used a mixture of laptops and interactive whiteboard to create our montage.

We took pictures of people's hands against black paper, in different shapes. We put the pictures into photoshop elements and we learned all these skills -
-browsed for image
-levels to get the black background
-mode, greyscale
-lasso to select the hand
-feathered the selection
-created new black canvas
-used move tool to drag the selection onto the new canvas
-resized and rotated hands using layers and move tool until it looked good
-flattened layers
-select and stroke for grey border
-created a signature
-resize and save

We thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. We want to say thank you to Kit for creating the challenge and thank you to Mrs Palmer and Mr Mes for teaching us these photography skills.

We hope you like our work!

Hi! to all of you,

A big welcome from Mike here in Ireland and we are sorry to have beaten your fine team in the rugby.

This is a handy number for avoiding class, but a very creative time. There is so much thinking involved here from planning to posting. I try to get my idea first and that is the hardest part. Digital cameras allow you to take photos in the hundreds and eventualy you will get a good one.
I prefer to think first and shoot last. Then you can concentrate on the one image and get it spot on. Don't forget to remove all those left behind images on your computers.
***********
I like this idea here as it shows you the hands that were involved in it's construction. Mixing of ideas and good communications.
I wish you guys lots of luck in this challenge and I know if you win the right to choose the next one, that it will be a real cool idea.
Mike.
PS. I have turned on my points just for you as I think you deserve them for this.

Well done Kidz. Various hands expressions telling different stories. The only overlay from hand hand to another is well done with the shadow! Great starting effort!

Hi all,
welcome on TL,
great idea, compo and shot, very very nicely done! very sober, but the hands told us enough, no necessary of colours or others!

Well done Kidz, looks like u had fun putting this 2gether this montage.

The B&W give a good tone for that one! It's great! I like the multiple view!

Great first post and great entry into the Hands Challenge! Very creative idea and execution! Looking forward to seeing more of your postings!

Welcome to you all!

Best wishes,

A-OK, "hook-em-horns" and peace to all you guys!

So, you're wondering, "what is hook-em-horns?" There is a college football team in the U.S. that uses a longhorn steer as its mascot, and all the fans hold up their hands in this hook-em-horns gesture like the second one on the left in your photo during the games! You've heard of Texas, right? That's where this team is located. Texas is a next-door-neighbor to me here in Arkansas, and I don't like them very much because they usually beat us in football, but I'll be nice to them anyway!

You did a really nice job, guys, and I hope some of you will keep on lovin' this photography stuff. Lots of us do!

Good luck in the Challenge!

Gayle :)
