In the selfie edited photo I created, I included 4 background elements from 4 different photos. These include a Rose, a branch with water dripping, and 2 different sunsets. These all made the composition what it is and I learned quite a bit about erasing background ad using transparency for different subjects. The message I tried to convey here in the composition is my love for nature, and the little spots of beauty found all within it. Overall I think this is a good start and I can tell that I have a lot of improvement to go! I am very excited for photography this trimester.
This was the Double Exposure Project! I took a photo of a lonely tree atop a sand dune while I was on a weekend trip to the West Coast of Michigan over by Holland and Muskegon. I wanted to use this tree and this quote for my project because the tree is alone, it remains in a desert of sand surrounded by nothing but sand, and it is a mystery as to how the tree ended up here and how it remained alive. The quote "Maybe we are all cabinets of wonders" connects to me with this wonder of a tree, and it's the sense of self uniqueness and the wonder for that tree to keep pushing on and survive the harshest of conditions when no other plant could. That determination and self drive is something I strive for, that, it why I made this self exposure this way, with this picture. Overall I think after editing I would say that his project was a great success.
