79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Susan - I also love creating composites. I agree with the above comments for improving your composite - keep experimenting, I like your ideas.
I have made myself a short checklist that I use when shooting for composites. Top of my list is direction and type of light. I have found I can post-process for most other things - but getting the light the same in both images makes a huge difference to the finished image.
I look forward to seeing what you create next :)		 Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Karl I love this. I also experimented with this method of light painting a while back, using torches covered in coloured cellophane, attached to clear plastic bottles - not nearly as cool as a PixelStick!! I love the colour combinations you are getting with the PixelStick.
You should really do a bit of experimenting with your selfies. Last winter, I tried some light-painted portraits but didn't use flash at the beginning. I used my very tolerant husband as a model and painted the light around his face. A very trippy effect - very sixties! I had a lot of fun doing it, but felt at the time I needed a lot more practice. You've inspired me to give it another go. 		Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Anurada - I like your interpretation of this image. By rotating it, you've made me feel the rush of the water past me. The detail you've kept of the top of the spillway on the left hand side also helps to create the feeling of depth. Well done. Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Susan - lovely image. It makes me contemplate going back to the Netherlands. It did drive home to me how important it is to get the composition and other basics right in camera - then you can do anything with the image you have taken. You achieved a wonderful composition here.
I wonder how pulling back the stroke size would look. I like the effect you are going for, it works well on the window box flowers and the canal. However, dialling the brush stroke effect down a little might be better on the bikes. I love the high contrast on the buildings - everything about this image is iconic Amsterdam!		 Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Val - this is a lovely image. I like the shadows in the foreground that draw my eye up into the image. Nice use of colour tones for mood, and I agree with the above comments. Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Reply Thanks Karl - I know exactly the opening sequence you are referring to!! I hadn't thought of a composite for this one. You are right - I will re-shoot this in autumn when the leaves turn again. Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Reply Thanks Susan for your suggestion and showing me the example - I have been playing around with the image in Photoshop and it's already looking better. Jan 16th
79 Jan 19 Comment Hi Judith - I love this image. It is so simple yet complex and tells interesting stories.
I too would remove the shape in the upper right corner. I feel the slightly off-horizontal composition gives a sense of walking away into the distance.
Like you, I prefer the version with the stone-coloured wall over the mono. I look forward to seeing what you do next with HDR!		 Jan 16th
