Sunset Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Two photographs, one of the ship and one, taken 30 miles away, of the duck. Put together with layers, the erase tool and the trackpad on the laptop (no mouse or tablet and pen for this, travel light :) ) I Used auto level on the ship photograph and the colour of the sea was a pretty good match for the water on the lake, and the controls on the erase brush are fab.

Staff Andy Somerfield Posted February 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 16, 2015 I like this - the merging of the ducks is very nice - gives a good depth to the piece. Perhaps some experimentation with the Depth Of Field filter could add some subtle blur to the background? It's interesting too, the "steam-packet" ship - we have a number of test images which we use here with the very same ship - can I ask - is it the Isle of Man?

Sunset Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's a good idea, the Depth of Field filter, I shall have a go at that, perhaps I can get some "distance" into the picture. I was very impressed with the erase brush, though, it worked so well and so easily. Yes, the Isle of Man :) Photographed from Formby on 21st June 2014 as it was making its way out of Liverpool. This is the fleet's high speed craft, the Manannan, it doesn't run in the winter.

peter Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 30 miles away? That's one helluva lens ;) Nice concept, share the sea. What about expanding on it? I've got a couple of pictures of a light boat, moored up near Colchester, if you're interested.

Sunset Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I made the lens myself out of a cardboard tube from a kitchen roll and some old magnifying glasses - very hi-tech :) Good idea, about sharing the sea, I shall have to sea about that..... leave it with me....
