Project #7 - Multiple Image Techniques

The point of this project was to take photos and layer or combine them to make a work of art. The three techniques I was assigned are High Dynamic Range (HDR), Panoramas, and Multiple Exposures. HDR mostly has a practical purpose to have photos of things that are very dark and very light in them at the same time, by combining high exposure photos of dark things and low exposure photos of bright things all into one, Panoramas are created by sticking multiple photos with overlapping sides together to get one long one, and Multiple Exposures involves stacking similar, but different photos of the same subject on top of each other.

 This photo uses HDR, but as is fairly obvious I knowingly used some of the effects that HDR enables me to do use to an extreme extent. I think it ended up pretty wack and cool.









Below is also an HDR photo, I used it much more mildly, simply to correct for exposure, which was too low in parts because part of the house is shadowed by itself.

 To the left is a panorama of a tree. My camera does not have a lense to wide enough to capture the whole of the tree, so I took multiple photos and merged them together to make a single image.






Below is another panorama. This time horizontal. As one can see it could never be taken as a single photo without a fisheye lense because it traverses about 270 degrees of vision. It is also stitched together in photoshop.

 This photo uses multiple exposures that I layered on top of each other in Photoshop. Since I do not have a tripod the background on the original photos were rotated, luckily Photoshop's auto-align tool was able to fix that for me.

This also uses multiple exposures. I took the base photos awhile back, but they layered together very well. I also used auto-align to correct the background here.
