Duotone - Homework 3


I worked extensively with another photograph that I really liked that was e-mailed to me of an enormous ice sculpture in Harbin (Finland, I think). I finally gave up on it because at a resolution of 72, it was just too pixilated. I tried a variety of things to smooth it out, but nothing really worked well. Rats.

Anyway, I went back to this photo of a boy reading with a dinosaur t-shirt. I purchased an image from iStockphoto and used that for the T-rex image (this came as a jpg). This was fun to do. I found that it really helped a lot to consider how well the images will mix tonally. In the ice sculpture pic, I wanted to add a new young plant growing out of the ice and found that the first two plant pictures just wouldn't mix (I did find one that worked pretty well, but still, sadly, had the pixilated ice sculpture pic that I couldn't fix).
