Learning new skills. I decided that since I”m going to do Photo365, I need to learn some cool new skills. I bought a remote and some magnifying lenses (the cheap screw on ones, not the mega expensive ones) and I’m going to try to teach myself one new thing a week. This week – layering!
Basically what layering does is allows you to take pieces of different photos or images and put them all together in one image. The way that I did this was to set up my camera on a tripod and take separate pictures of Laura, Michael, & I , each in slighly different locations so we didn’t overlap (see below):
Once I had done some fancy path/cutout work and cursed and asked Michael for help a few times (also watching THIS VIDEO a few times), I finally came up with this:
How happy am I with the result? VERY!!!
What do you guys think?
I’m so proud of you. 🙂
I love that you suck at photoshop guy! except never drink anything while watching him!!
I think you did a nice job on your layers!
