Photographs...

I began manipulating this photograph:

I took this a couple of weeks ago at Caulfield station one evening. I was starting to think of purple double decker buses rumbling down the train tracks, and hot air balloons filling up the sunset sky, or bombs crashing down on the bushes in the background, with the two epople completely oblivious to their surroundings.

However, none of this seemed to work. The image just wasn't right. The angles within the image were difficult to work with, and the train lines made everything a little messy. So I used a better photograph of mine from Bluesfest:

I manipulated this image to death. I grabbed the sky, used the levels option to make the image overall darker, and added a little blue...

I used a hot photo filter for the ground. Then I got rid of the people, that took a while because I wanted to keep all that was separating the ground from the sky - the festival stuff. In the end, I decided that I didnt want the festival stuff, so i got rid of that too, and joined the ground with the sky. To be continued...
