Digital Imaging
Thank God for Photoshop. Now anything can be done with photography. From as little as removing dust and scratches all the way to transporting you to a land of fantasy. Some much power for the little people.
For some reason, this picture frightens people. What I was really trying to accomplish with this photograph was the goal of matching skin tone. What had to be done to this photo for it to work was to match my original skin tone with the skin tone of the body building. I also wanted a picture that had a strong contrast from my own skin tone. I think this is the best matching that I've ever done. The key is using curves. I'll let you figure it out from there.
For this picture, a friend of mine and myself, stood 3 hours in
line to get our pictures taken with the one and only Spice
Girls. Scary Spice pinched my butt. Actually I stole the Spice
photo off their website. Pictures of me and my friend were taken
with a digital camera (Olympus). We had to take several pictures
to insure that we were looking in the right direction. Adobe Photoshop
was used to place us in the picture. My friend was a straight placement.
I, on the other hand, had to slip myself between the two Mel's.
Part of my image was erased in order to accomodate Sporty's right
arm.
This is the second in a series of three films I placed myself or my friend
in. We were doing a presentation at work and these photos we the gag.
The background was taken from the MIB website. The photo was taken with
the digital camera. We didn't know what kind of image we were looking
for when we took it. Luckily we found this one. I first superimposed our
image on the back ground, then I added the light blast.
