We made it to the\u00a0next photography assignment this week. It’s an assignment that has frazzled \u00a0me for days.<\/p>\n

Digital Montage – That’s what we’re creating with the images we take.<\/p>\n

Montage – the technique of combining in a single composition pictorial elements from other \u00a0sources,\u00a0and bringing them together to make one image.<\/p>\n

I spent hours trying to grasp some sort of inspiration that would lead me to a concept.<\/p>\n

I had self doubt for a good portion of the week. And wondered If I would come up with something.<\/p>\n

During class this week, I was so overcome with passion and emotion from all of the inspiration tossed my way, that a tear or two pooled. I’m such a sap and I’m ok with that.<\/p>\n

Then I woke this morning with\u00a0a concept! I can’t tell you how excited I was to start shooting.<\/p>\n

Grape leaves – How would it be if I took images of the leaves and layered them? I would like to add transparency \u00a0to some of the areas layered beneath. And change the color too.<\/p>\n

It took no time to grab the camera for a little test.<\/p>\n

Below is one of the first images\u00a0I took (without the tripod) Not quite the\u00a0focus I would like.<\/p>\n

But for fun, the color of the leaf was changed. Made me happy!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_9106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I went back out with the tripod and remote. And shot ’til my heart was content.<\/p>\n

And then went to work in photoshop for a bit to see how I felt about it. The below image is just a little test drive, nothing earth-shattering.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To be continued…<\/p>\n
