Week 15 April 2013

This weeks image is not a photo I took this week but I composite I have been working on.
In the cause of trying to improve my Photoshop skills I have been reading allsorts of books one of which suggested making a tree house. This was about 18 months ago and the idea has been on the back burner ever since. There is one rule I set myself with any composites I have done is that it all has to be my own work as far as possible, as in all elements have to be from my own stock photo’s. Sometimes its not possible. For instance I did one that needed a human skull but I don’t happen to have one handy, For that picture and other I used free stock images from a photo magazine. For this reason this project has taken a while. At first looking for a suitable tree, and then windows and doors and other bits and pieces. That's why I can sometimes be found shooting strange objects, you never know when they will come in. Then looking at other peoples images I stole the idea of a story coming out of a book. This changed the idea totally. so its always a work in progress. Its still not finished as some cleaning up is needed and I feel as if I lost the plot some what. Perhaps I’ll rework this but more likely will start it again.
