Rhythm Assignment

For this photo, I combined six different pictures of my sister sledding down a hill into one. I just used the sports setting on the camera to get clear pictures while she was sledding. Then using photoshop, I used the picture of her closest to me as the background, then took the other pictures and used selection tools and layer masks to take just her body and the sled and drag it into the background picture to show her whole journey down the hill. Once I had the pictures in place and resized to look a little more realistic, I changed the opacity so her body became more opaque as she got farther down the hill and also enhanced the photo with basic editing techniques.
I really liked how this photo turned out with the different opacities and the different positions of her sledding down the hill. Using the selection tools and layer masks was a little challenging at first, but after a few times, it was quite easy.



For this photo, I stood in the same place while someone moved a tennis ball down the wall so that when I mashed all the original photos into one, it looks like the same ball is rolling down the wall. Again, I used the picture when the ball was closest to me as the background photo, then used selection tools and layer masks to select the tennis ball in the other photos and drag it into the background photo. Then I used resized the tennis balls, changed the opacity to add some interest/emphasis and then enhanced the photo with basic editing tools.
I was also really happy with how this photo turned out, especially the way the tennis balls look like they are rolling down the hill and also how the colors of the wall and balls stands out so much against the white snow. I was surprised at how simple this was to make once I got the hang of it.
