Happy Tuesday everyone - Tonight's image is from the HDR collage series. Like some of the others in this series, the source images for this collage came from Art Alley in Rapid City, South Dakota. I combined 3 photographs of murals encompassing elements of the raven, the words, and a some color. The final piece merged all of these elements together based on the directions of the lines within the elements. Like all of the photos in the HDR collage series, the final image is the result of a black box process using the HDR software. I chose this final version of the image from 4 different process images as I really liked how the raven ended up more central and the words seem to fade into the bird. This series is visually complicated, but I really enjoy seeing how these final images come out from the initial source images. They can be dramatically different from the original murals they are sourced from and often display very different themes and messages. I hope you enjoy these as I really do enjoy making them. Enjoy your Tuesday -
