A different view of Saltaire...I've spent the holiday weekend catching up on coursework for my photography course, rather than being out taking photos or blogging... I seem to have rather too much to do at the moment! I've got to get ahead of myself, because I'm taking a week out for a holiday soon. I want to prepare some blog photos to publish themselves whilst I'm away. (After the year is up in June, I might be gentler on myself, but it's a matter of honour to post a photo everyday for a year, to fulfil the challenge I set myself last year).
I don't wish to upset the purists among you, but I thought today I'd use one of the images I've been playing about with over the weekend. It's a montage of four photos - two of the great man (Sir Titus Salt) himself, one of his mill and one nice sky - with a lot of work in Photoshop. I don't think I've got the text quite right - it should be bigger I think. Anyway, I don't think I'll be giving up my day job and going into graphics - and nor will I be forsaking 'proper' photography for heavily Photoshopped images. But it is useful to learn about the various techniques and what is possible. I didn't know anything about layers before I started the course and now I am quite happily skipping about merging images and doing all sorts of fancy things!
You seem to be taking to the photoshop possibilities, and the course obviously works for you. I think the montage works well.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so good. I wanted to do a course in PS but it clashed with my work commitments. However I have to get a programme for my new computer so I'll try again later. You've done a great job.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed! It's lovely. You did a much better job than I could have done for sure!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I am so ready to get Photoshop!
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done! i'm totally unable to do such things! And the result would be perfect for some advertising for your town, because the picture says a lot!
ReplyDeletelooks good
ReplyDeleteI think it looks pretty good. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI really like this composition and that you chose this as your subject matter and also included a more "ghostly image" of Sir Titus Salt with a backdrop of the sky to oversee his statue and his accomplishments. It gives a sense that he would be happy to see that all is well with Saltaire. ~Lili
