Spit Shine

Still working my way through the collage process and having problems getting the cropped dimensions to match.
So, this didn't come out exactly the way I had hoped, but my intentions were good. Besides, it's all I have. ;-)
But, I am happy with the sense of speed I captured of his hands and the rag.

You did a great job with the motion! What program are you using to edit your photos? Most programs allow you to specify the dimensions of the photo when you resize, so you can make sure they're all cropped to the same size.

@melissapike
Specify dimensions? Really?
I use Picasa and just kind of stumble my way through. LOL
I'll look more carefully and see if I can find a way to beat it into submission with my next collage. ;-)

Terrific collage for starters ! Love the sense of motion! Makes it look very frenzied!

[Simply Amanda]

Super action. Was that your shoes being spit shined?

[Jan Hall]

Yes, your really did capture the motion well. Nice collage too

[Kimberly Balychev]

Ooo I think you did an outstanding job! I love the movement of the rag you capture! Super collage! A++!!

Yes, ma'am, those are my shoes. Either that or I was sitting in someone's lap. ;-)

This is a fabulous collage! Love the motion and focus of the shoe! Well done!

The motion blur is nice and I like how you have your leg like it's coming right out of the shot in the one photo in the lower left.

Ya know, that caught my eye too and I couldn't figure it out at first, but that is not actually the bottom border of the photo. It is a metal trim edge on the step of the shoe shine stand. You can see the rivets there and in the two shots above it.
It did create a weird illusion though, but that's all because I was having such a hard time with sizing and straightening the photos within the collage.
Still taking baby steps here. ;-)

A thing does not have to be perfect to be fine! You're on a good learning curve! Love the pix of movement!

Fabulous collage of action. Have you tried ribbet for collage? Here's what I did with my rainbow month

Great collage. Series of pictures are well set out and I love the movement and speed of it all. Difficult to catch movement so I'm going to give it a fav.

[Sean O'Neill]

What a fantastic collage. A great idea, and I think you executed it beautifully.

Excellent collage and action shot!!
