Old Friends

This, for the multiplicity challenge offered up by the Photoshop learning group. It was supposed to be me, with my arm around me, on a park bench. (Not a fan of the frontal selfie... not at all.) I did not properly think this through, because I wanted to have my arm on the park bench, around the other "me." Oops.. gone. Oh, well... no permanent damage. I was in a huge hurry, because the light was fading and I was rushing after work. Still, I learned the method and that was the most important thing.

Thanks, 365, for helping me focus on this. Maybe better in the future?

Also, I appreciate your generous treatment of my "Theater Stairs" shot from yesterday. Very kind of you. :) Such a creative and supportive bunch... wonderful.

Good work. I have in idea how to do the multiplicity editing.

[Gena Pegg]

Very awesome... I really love this Rosie!!! Looks like two friends (maybe twins) sitting together in the park. Well done!

[Rosie Kerr]

@kwind @eyesmile Thanks, guys... some days my project is going to look like it is very "under construction," but I am trying to do some growing. :)

[Danette Thompson]

I like that you are trying things and showing your progress. I think the arm looks buried in her coat. Looks great for a first time.

[Kim Harper]

I like how you've got your heads leaning in toward each other. I agree with Gena that it looks like two friends sharing a special moment. You're learning so many techniques. Good for you!

[Emilie Cartoun]

Super fun, good for you!

[gloria jones]

Well done

[Jane Anderson]

Very cool!

[Maggiemae]

Very clever - is this done with two shots put together? Love your tag!

[Rosie Kerr]

@maggiemae Yes, two shots, put together. In a sort of a way. ;)

[Elizabeth]

Well done! This technique would be a fun one to learn.

[Dianne]

Nicely done!

[Sheralee S]

You did a great job with it Rosie! I haven't tried one of these yet.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

You did it!

[Tineke]

Well love to try this too, it is amazing what you can do with photography. Here on 365 I see so many challenges almost to much to try them all LOL. Thanks for sharing, itlooks so good.

[Renata Jaroscakova]

Well done. Great creative selfie.

[iCamera]

Just super for first crack at it! Nicely done!

[Joan Robillard]

Well done, indeed. Maybe if you had laid a thread marking your where your shoulder hit the bench you could have gotten closer as you wished, but this is still well done.

When I saw the title before reading your commentary my first thought was, "Wow they must be good friends or twins because they are dressed exactly alike!"

[Francoise]

well, if you hadn't pointed it out, we might easily have believed that the one twin has her hand under the other twin's jacket hood.

[Margaret Obey]

Wonderful

[Nicole]

it is the thought that counts! and you did great with the photoshop technique!

[Denise fuller]

super

[Kathy]

Well done.

[Ukandie!]

Nicely done.

[Keri]

Clever.

Third (continued from the stairs—I'd hate to miss the beginning of act II), I love this, and hope to try it someday too. I don't have Photoshop, though... Only LightRoom. If it can be done in Gimp I might give it a try.

Anyway, sitting-back-to the-camera selfiers unite !

[Rosie Kerr]

@squamloon I think it can be done in Gimp (which I tried, but was not bright enough to figure out). The Adobe Creative Cloud (both PS and LR) is $10 per month... until they raise our rates, because we are now hostages! Thanks for stopping by.
