postcard

I was trying to achieve the aspect of an open road, blending a lot of different activities together. I put 8 different pictures together, all having a big road in front of them in common. I also put a picture from inside a car to symbolize the different perceptions and positions one could take while looking at this picture. Nothing is as it seems in this picture, if each picture was separated, it would be a totally different image and a distinctive difference in scenery. I wanted to blend each picture together to give a common purpose.

I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to blend each picture so that the images were clearly defined. I didn't want to put too much in the picture and create a clutter of different things going on. I had to play around with the different layers and make sure I could synchronize the pictures to make it look realistic and clear.

I am proud of my image because I think it blends well, and I did a good job switching up the hue/saturation and giving off a euphoric sense of nature. I am proud of the way it looks, the motor cycler's coming towards the man in the open road is an interesting optical illusion.

If I had more time I would have continued to play around with the placing of the different pictures. I would have added some more effects and tried to match up the car scene with what is going on around it.
