I am from a family for five girls. I have never had a brother and just love watching my sons bond. Bridger (my 2 year old) has loved Emmett (3 month old) since the day we brought him home. Bridger squeals with excitement with everything Emmett does. I wanted to capture a moment. Bridger was showing his new toy car to his little brother while helping him sit on his lap. To add the type effect I created two layers of text, with a mask for each, with words describing brothers. I changed the size, color, leading and opacity on each layer. Then I added the word "Brothers."

Blending was fun...but there are way too many options. I blended parts of the temple into the main picture of the temple. The "Holiness to the Lord the house of the Lord" is hiding in the bottom left. I wanted it to be hidden and not pop out. To blend the pictures I drug them onto the main image of the temple and did a "normal" blend. I adjusted the opacity on the different layers to make the original picture more visable. With a little cropping and brightness/saturation adjusting I was done.
Really nice concept with the temple. I would only suggest you bring out the text slightly more. I only saw the words after I noticed that you had taken the shot of the "Erected" stone.
ReplyDeleteI love the one with your sons. I think you chose the perfect font for brothers. And your sons are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pictures with your sons. You did a really good job of editing. The only thing I would change is maybe the slant of the erected sign. It looks almost like you meant to have it straight.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with the Temple. Really a great and creative idea.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the temple with a sunset in the background. And you blended the words into the picture subtly. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of using "Erected 2008" as part of your blend and text. Very creative.
