i've been listening to the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind soundtrack on repeat and one of the songs
backwards and i feel very inspired. today i thought i'd layer some images like i used to do a few years
ago. i keep thinking that i can't go back to this style because it seems childish, but today it doesn't
bother me at all.
there will be a few more blog posts soon, including a post with film photos. and today i will be taking
photos of people when they don't know it. spontaneous photos are magic.
i don't know what sparked it, but today i decided to go back and create some pictures in style of my older
work. this is what i got! here are the steps i took to create it:
this is the original image, stock from sxc.hu
so first i cropped the photo. i kind of liked the little town on the right hand side of the image and clouds
on the left, so to not lose that in the cropping, i selected each side of the picture individually and
transformed it. then with layer masks i just painted the edges back so they would blend. it is subtle, but i
still think it makes a difference.
with curves i continued adjusting the colours of the image until i was happy. the sun looked pretty low in
the image, but everything still had middle of the day lighting, so i thought it would look more dramatic if
i added warmness.
last but not least i added my famous birds (my own image), and moved the birds around so it looked like
they were sweeping into the tree. i did the left had side first, then copied the layer and flipped it. with
layer masks i got rid of a few birds here and there on either side as well so it wouldn't look too identical.
