Kali asked me to take a photo of something I fear. I think Covid is my biggest fear, peole getting too close, the vaccine failing and me getting ill. Not so ill I need to go into hospital, but ill enough to be nursed by me- which would be worse than being ill with C-19!
This took forever to set up and take and even longer to process. You can see the join and my terrible attempt at cloning, but I've had enough of playing in Eff-inity- and it does look better than before I started to edit it.
Based on tips I've resubmited this
The daffodil and title might make many Brits of a certain age laugh.
Here you go @kali66 ! My Pass the Pigs friends helped me come up with the idea of Covid being a fear to depict (no spiders or snakes here at the moment!) and I thought about a composite of me crowding myself out, or coughing all over me, or even a photo inside a superarket which is the scariest place to be at the moment! Hope you approve of this. I an see my errors, and I don't have the knowledge or skills to correct- but one day I will!! Great challenge- thank you :)
i've always wondered why a maternity hospital would have a large stash of birth control pills. you'd think that they'd be out of business if no one gets pregnant often enough to use the hospital. 😂🤣
in any case, the 'join' of the composite could've been remedied in post by lightening the exposure of the left photo a bit so it has more or less similar shade as the right photo before joining them. that said though, i think this works, too, as to me it looks like the crazy lady on the left is from another dimension, while the even crazier and paranoid lady on the right 😂is getting all huffed up over it. challenge met. aces!
First of all, it's a very funny scene and nicely composed. When I have created composites with several copies of myself in the scene, I set the camera on a tripod with the camera controls in manual. That way the framing and exposure remain constant for all the images. Then, it is just a matter of using layer masks to add and remove parts from the composite image. Using a feathered brush in the layer mask helps to eliminate any obvious border between the images.
This is wonderful, Jackie! I would not worry about the join and it is so good to read the comments from those who have done this before. It is so good to learn from other's mistakes.
I have yet to attempt this!
It's A FAV!
You’ve got the expressions perfectly and did an excellent job of having you on the right looking at you on the left instead of having your eyes looking at the wrong place. This is not easy to do and I applaud you and how well you have done it for your first time!
@tdaug80 - i do that all the time, but i find that if i move even slightly, the camera captures different light, if you know what i mean. so i would have two photos with exactly the same settings but the lighting varies greatly. frustrating sometimes.
Superb job of meeting the challenge. I think that you did a good job with this. I think your friends have given terrific tips for composite shots that I hope I can remember.

Great job with the challenge too.
