affinity photo Lightbulb Landscape (Composite)

Photo Composite, inspired by a recent post.

This is very weird, Lou. But I like it! (Also, a nice job with the warp!)

[Ldina]

Thanks, Seth. (It's not the first time I've been called weird!! 🤣) It was fun doing.

[smadell]

Well, I didn't call you weird, Lou - just your art. On the other hand, who knows???

Thanks, but as they say, "if the shoe fits, wear it!" 😀

That makes me bark. WOW. 

I had a similar idea once before, but my creativity ran out of steam. 🤪

I like that you saw fit to place the lightbulb on its proper side and not horizontal with the landscape.

Here's another variation...

Ldina has made an especially beautiful composite with a lake in a light bulb. I was delighted to see this and a few other APhoto composites posted to this forum recently.

Beginners might want to view the Affinity Revolution tutorial from 2016 describing a way to make such a composite.

There are several similar tutorials discoverable in a simple Internet search.

I have been fearing that APhoto is a dying piece of software. There have been many recent negative comments about the future of APhoto in these forums. Worse, many questions from new users have languished for one to two months without a single response from users or from Serif support staff. And there have been very few APhoto entries in this sharing forum. Some of the most prolific authors of tutorials have stopped publishing. Let's hope APhoto will be less neglected in the future. For the past few months, I myself have been using an alternative product for most routine snapshot touchup editing, but I return to APhoto for anything that is technically demanding. APhoto's model for editing still seems best to me.
