Having fun with Composite

Having fun playing around with compositing. Composite is when you take two pictures or more and make it look like you intended this picture. I like to keep practicing. In this case, I took a stock photo of the lady. Then I looked at what I was thinking and found a stock picture of the woods. One thing that is important that light is coming from the same direction. It makes it look natural. Once I blended the two photos and matched the color. I thought it was missing something. Out came the brush and made some butterflies. Again matching color with the scene and light, the butterfly was next. Last, I felt it needed type. That was it, and I came up with something that I liked, but more importantly, I got some more practice using Photoshop.

Boating Season

Some of my favorite things are water and boating. The combination equals photo time. My wife just got done eating at a restaurant outside. While eating, I was looking around for a possible photo. When we were done eating, I knew that the sun would look great, and great it did.

Sanibel Island

Sanibel Island

This boat caught my eye, color, and light. Boating has been in my blood since I was a little kid. My father was a boating pilot, and he shared his love with us. Water is always my comfort place, for I have no fear when it comes to water. Not that I don’t respect it, I do but seeing it, being in it, brings me happiness. Maybe that is why I enjoy Florida so much. Especially the Sanibel area. You are surrounded by water. The locals the tourist are so friendly. The food is excellent along with the views. If you have never been there and enjoy the water, this is your place. Thanks for a great time.
