UNIT 1 - MOVEMENT - AO2 - Dual Exposures...Again!

Introduction.

So with my previous work on dual exposures finished I must say I didn't feel completely satisfied, so I grabbed my camera and travelled to Lincoln to refine what I have done before..

What could be refined?

well firstly I didn't like the overlay process, for example the last photo I took of this the tree photography that filled the silhouette also filled the rest of the shot accept in a much higher opacity, from the naked eye this isn't a huge deal however I wondered how I could improve my shots to get rid of it. through out my day at Lincoln I took many snaps of possible background images and a few silhouette images. for my final piece of this refinement I selected these two images.

Creating this image:

Once downloading the photo onto my computer I open the program "aperture" to increase the contrast, exposure and vibrancy to create this:

(Settings: ISO 100. Shutter Speed 1/160. Aperture f/6.3.)

I really like this image as the background photo is shown much less compared to previous work, I also really like the contrast between dark and light colours when you look from the bottom to the top. the vibrancy also really works as it creates ideas that this man has a vibrant atmosphere to him. the fact that the second exposure is a shot of street suggests that he is a part of the city. that music makes a city.
