29 Wish You Were Here

above is a photo manipulation i made on photoshop. i usually blend images together using the clone tool and use curves to try and make their colour schemes compatible if the originals were shot in different lighting (i usually do manips for film screenshots), but this time i decided to do something a little more jarring. so i took a photo from gabrielle angeline photography (her website is here), made it black and white, and cropped it in a very angular fashion... then i set it against a picture of a sunrise, which i got from google images and then put to high contrast.

i don't really like how the background turned out but you may be interested to know that this was inspired by the set of postcards currently hanging in front of the sinks in the mac lab. one of them reads: i wish you were here/ because that would make the rest of my day. i thought it was brilliantly creative and set the second line as the 'subtitle' of this photo when i posted it to tumblr.

unfortunately my personal computer crashed at the beginning of term 4 and took my photoshop down with it. i've been having withdrawal symptoms since, especially since i only just started rediscovering some of the better functions of photoshop and exploring with photo manipulations.
