I'm back again after a busy summer and fall. Winter is a great time to review the years photography, some old stock photos and have some fun in photoshop. Two images of this composite image are many years old. Last august I captured a series of a glorious sunset that played itself out on the end of my driveway. I in turn played with layering to create a composite digital image using some of photoshops many great tools. I started with an older stock photo taken of the Queen Boadicea statue in London. The dicomed grid lines were created when computers first came out in the 80's during a computer course at Durham collage. I utilized the grid pattern faintly to exemplify a perspective ( an old master artist technique) also hints of repeating patterns in Nature. Blending the layers creates a smooth transition between two very different images creating another dimension to the perspective.
