When you didn't take that pan

Sometimes it just doesn't come to mind to take a panorama of a scene - or in this case the camera was too old to have that capability. But you get a few shots that you can stitch together later and actually make the image you wanted to take.


Later on you can always add additional lighting effects to the image.




Combining two totally separate images

Taking an image of an indoor diorama model, under florescent lights, and combining a natural lite outdoor image, can be a challenge.


But cloning the color of the earth from the background image into the rocks of the foreground pic and adding some blurs and stretches, helps blend the images.

reViewing Lake Louise - Banff National Park

Two shots of lake with Hi-Spy viewing machine and close up of mountain in background

Combined into one shot with HDR filter effect to background.

Horseshoe or Oxbox Bend Composite



Original photo of the bend was good, but the mountains in the background were weak.

Creating a sky image by zooming into the scene enhanced the horizon.



Adding an HDR filter and sunburst made the image more dynamic.


Option of a sunburst and lens flare where the mountain range had a lightened effect.

TV Time

Original Photo - Scanned from 2¼ film negative

Cropped and added animated GIF to the TV screen

Finally created a Google Slides presentation with multiple GIFs and slides.
