Weekly Edit | Blends and Type
This temple picture was an absolute miracle. I happened to finally figure out how to set my camera at the perfect moment when the light peeked through the clouds and I caught a nice HDR. I then moved my pictures into photoshop and used the overlay blending mode to blend in a picture of river water that I had taken last week. I masked around the temple to make it more visible. At first, I had the mask clipped right around the temple, but opted to fade it into the edges, which gave it a crystalized look. The text was created using a text mask with outer glow and a linear burn blending mode.

I would have never thought to blend water with the temple. A lot of people did temple pictures but I think this one was the most unique! The water blended so well and the quote is very strong and works so well with the photo. I bet getting that water shot was hard to focus and capture with the quick movement.
ReplyDeleteI really like this picture. Everything just blends together so well. The colors all match so well. I can tell you know what you're doing when it comes to photoshop. You took your time and really took pride in your work. I don't know if you wanted the temple to be dark like that but I think it would really help your quote by brightening the temple. Really make the temple a 'beacon.'
