Photolusion

The term Photolusion is a term started by my Instructor at BYU-Idaho. Caryn Esplin Its when you take a photo or edit two or more to make something look or appear as something that it is not. Google the term and you will see many other great examples of Photolusion.

F 5.6 Exp. 1/80 taken near a porta-potty nothing special.

F 5.6 Exp. 1/400 Just a mad dog.

Just rotated dogs head and used the easer tool on the dogs layer. I then used the burn tool to better match the colors up and i also burn the should to make the head cast a more believable shadow.

F 22 Exp. 1/40 we just back a longways away from the car and a too this shots of the "giant foot." without a tripod i reallly like how moving with the stepping foot created a natural blur. No Photoshop work was performed on this image.

F22 Exp.1/25 Taken from the same spot as the other foot shot just taken with the foot posed in the air. Remember a high F stop number is important so that near and far are in focus.

F 22 Exp. 1/25 placed the camera on a tripod and the just wrapped my arms around the camera and used a time to get this shot.

F 22 Exp. 1/25 Every one needs a push start right? Taken Just like the photo above but with my assistance hands.

    Your dog picture is hilarious. I love the dog’s face. Also great ideas with the car. I like the stomping one the best. how did you get it to look like you were moving? It looks really cool.

    I love this Levi. I definitely LOLed when I saw this. Good job with the blend. It looks real! Good job with the perspective and making it look like he was going to smash the car with his foot. Awesome!

    It looks like you really had a lot of fun with this one! You had so many ideas for your straight. I was at a complete loss for ideas!! Very creative and fun. Nice job with the moving foot stepping on the car. Awesome straight.
