where I have started a 31 day photography challenge **

So, to get me in a photographing mood, I have decided to start this challenge with a GIANT camera, and SPARKLES. (wait, are they called sparkles? I don't even know. Whatever, you know what I mean!)
Regardless, here is how it happened:
This is the main image I started with,
now the thoughts that I had while doing this are:
- needs to be expanded and cleaned up,
- the pillow should be exchanged with a camera,
- my feet have to be reconstructed,
- we need to add some sparkling lights to the diffusers.
so here we go:
this was done through stitching in some of the images I have taken of the scene without me in it. However, we now still have to remove the shadows from the T.V...
Now we added the camera (taken in the same light and location of the main image so that it can fit in and not look so 'superimposed' into the image)..
After that, I am adding back my arms from the original image (since the camera was slightly bigger than the pillow)..
after I added my hands in, and blurred them a bit (since my arms were more in focus and the camera body is out of focus.. so a little of Gassian Blur is added!
yaaaay!! now we are getting somewhere! added some life to those diffusers! yum!
yes, yum.
Since I love all things vintage, I am adding some textures to the background (on soft light), then erased it off of me and the camera.
Some curves adjustments!
et voila!
enjoy xx
