Just a quick upload before I head out for Canada! Nothing special, but hey, it’s a photo!
Can’t do a tutorial, I have to pack!

The sky that I used.
This is a photo of dusk from the home we stayed at in the keys. It was gorgeous there.
Before shot of me.
The before shot of the bridge.
This is in the keys, it’s the old bridge they used before they built the new one.
Okay! So, what I did was edit myself out of the base photo and place that ontop of the bridge.
I then edited in the sky, enhancing the colours to match the bridge photo.
From there I tried my best to change the lighting around so the “me” photo would blend in with the bridge photo. Then I played with the colours, and that’s about it!
This is the best I could do for a before. I used this as a base for laying other parts of photos over. The main thing I used this for was the head. That sounds very weird haha.
This shoot was crazy. It has been raining all week, and I’m not talking about some lousy drizzle, no more like lighting and thunder and a few tornados. Not the best conditions for shooting. But, I needed a photo anyway, so I pulled out my very tall metal ladder and tried to tie my tripod to it with rope. Then I sat in puddles for nearly an hour while thunder rocketed all around me. It was ridiculous. It rained off and on so every time it started raining I held my position praying for the camera to take as soon as possible. When it did I ran up the ladder, pulled my camera off and sprinted to the garage. All the while, my neighbors were watching. No, it was not fun. Nosey neighbors, water, a metal ladder, and lightning do not mix well…
You can see the ladder, and the tripod leg.
I uploaded. Very late, I know, but I’ve been very busy today. I have to go finish packing for the Keys tomorrow. We leave at the crack of dawn! We have to drive 6 hours down there. Ugh. Anyone been there before?
Anyway, I can’t do a before/during/after, I have to go finish packing! See you guys in a few days!
So this is what the end product looks like!
I switched up the arms, legs, and fixed the neck.
From there I enhanced the colours a bit, getting a blue effect by playing with the curves.
Final!
Sorry, I don’t really have a during shot for this one…
Anyway, I merged the two before photos together over an entirely different one that I took while on the sand bar.
Then I edited the colours. Not much.
I’ve been into strong colours lately…
Sorry, I don’t have time to do a before/during/after, I have to go study for exams. Blech.
