Joiner montage

My joiner was of my motorbike as the lines that it formed where very good for the style of joiner that I decided to do. I liked the way that the very perfect lines that the motorbike has are the muddled up and form a very imperfect joiner which creates a juxtapostion between the perfect nature of the lines and the very imperfect look of the joiner.

I could have changed some of the filters of this image and perhaps just changed parts of the image and not the entire image, for example I could have made one part of the bike black and white then other parts of the bike in full colour.

Ideas for Photo Montage

This photo montage is the kind of image I want to create when I do my own as I like how lots of images all come together to create one 'whole' image which is very rough and imperfect.

This is another example of what I would like to achieve with my photo montage, this image was done by David Hockney and it shows him taking all of these pictures for his montage and it is in the montage itself. I like how it forms a whole picture but does not form one in the conventional shape of an image it is in a very ranodm shape, and gives it an even more rough and imperfect look then my first example. However, this also gives the idea of an unfinished image that needs something else before it will be complete.

Compositing an Image

This is the plane that I have had to composite onto the other image, in order to do this I jad to first select the whole plane to be copied onto the other half of the compostion. In order to do this I used the magic wand tool to select the white background, however this only selected the white whereas I needed the plane so I inverted the selection so that instead of having the plane as the only thing not selected it was the thing that I had selected. The only problem with this was that some parts of the plane had not been completely selected and some parts of the background where still selected, in order to select and deselect the parts i needed I used the polygonal lasso in order to get a straight refined edge to my selection.
So that I didn't have a "halo" around the edge of my picture I had to feather the image by 0.5 pixels. This then meant that I could easily copy and paste this plane into the other half of my composition.

To make the plane look more as if it hasn't been photoshopped into this image I needed to resive it and keep the proportions constrained, I needed to resize the plane down to about 75% of it's original size. To make the plane look as if it is turning I rotated anti-clockwise this gave the effect that it was turning away from the camera. The only problem with this picture now is that it doesn't look as if it is moving as there is no motion blur in order to change this I went into filters->blur->motion blur, I then needed to make sure the angle on the blur is the same as the angle that the plane is flying in, then made the distance for the blur abour 15 pixels. However when something is moving the leading edge doesn't blur so that is why I made this on a copied layer of the composited image so that I could delete the leading edge this made the plane look like it was moving and made it look very realistic.

Stained Glass filter

This filter changes the image completely, it may however been in a very different way to changing the colour to black and white it still makes the image look drastically different from the original and makes it look surreal.

Tiles filter

This filter is completely different from the first two filters I used as it is in colour. The use of the tiles in this picture creates a very rough, jagged and imperfect feel which is a juxtapostion with the buildings in this image which are all very perfect and crisp.

Photocopy filter

The next filter that I used was the photocopy with the detail on it set to high. The effect I found on this one was very similar to the effect that i found with charcoal, however with this image it doesn't provide the same effect and feeling that the charcoal does as it doesn't capture as much of the definition that is captured by the charcoal.
