October Photography Competition: Change

construction at dusk

this is the land at bishopsgate where the building site has been dormant for at least 5 years, if not more, because the land was to expensive to sell after they started building then went bust (iirc), the original building was due to be completed in 2001 but didn't really get any further than foundations and building began early this year.

Awesome Pic! I've always wanted to know how you actually do that with photos. Is it blending layers or cutting and pasting or something else? Will someone tell me? Thanks.

I thought he was a quad?

4 images layered on top of each other, adjusted so the backgrounds line up, then the backgrounds removed from the upper 3 layers using a feathered lasso. Exposure differences taken care of with levels adjustments to blend the background remnants together. Quite simple really, just takes a little bit of work.

Few othere examples here -> http://www.photo.net/photos/BennyBoy

You have a fantastic portfolio

Thanks very much, I'm in the process of trying to build themed folders now rather than just a bunch of unrelated 'postcards'. It's a learning process, but a fun one.

without meaning to sound like a stalker the guy who told you to stop taking 'postcards' was subsequently banned (causeway pic, i'm from there orginally and thats as good a pic of the area as i have seen) - there is some amount of bad balls talked about photography and that site seems to attract them - 'i don't like this photograph because it doesn't tell us anything about the mood of the photographer' - bad weapons.

yer photies are class

 

[BennehBoi]

I didn't notice he was banned, I did have some sympathies with what he was saying - but didn't gulp it all down: photo.net can be quite a bizarre place for n00bs like me. Thanks for the compliments - feel like we're subverting the thread a little here...

Cheers for the tutorial BennehBoi, i was starting to get nervous when zenie said you're a quad or you have four identical twins or something. And then the whole thing with the feathered lasso...yeesh, you people and your fertively creative minds- what next?!?
Has to be said tho- nice portfolio!

Sticking with abstract this month for some reason... It's a small dingy room in my house that's got a prison-style grill that the sun filters through during a certain time of the day. Photo shows the natural changing of the day alongside changes in light and darkness.
(Photo also shows i've got some serious cobweb cleaning to be done.)

Another one from the same series.
On reflection, I prefer this to my last entry.

We have the technology

 

[Pavlik]

We have the technology

that's freaky
why doesnt it do it for all the pics though?

 

[big eejit]

It reads the info from the photo's EXIF data. Some image progs strip this data out. For example if you use "Save for web" in Photoshop it strips the EXIF data to reduce file size.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Bibble's batch conversion gizmo has that as an option too.
