I was out walking recently during a hangover after a colleagues leaving do the night before. I needed to get out as my head pounded and my mouth was as dry as sand and the cool, rainy weather was very inviting. I headed across the river and took a shot of the skyline. I went again today and thought it would be a nice idea to take another one whilst the sun is shining. I wanted to blend the two together to give a ‘before and after’ style single shot.
The problem is, I am no good at this.
I can’t blend and struggle to layer, I tried for a good couple of hours today just playing around on PicMonkey, the editor I use for some of my images and I couldn’t get the hang of it. So instead I settled for this.
You can see from the company name on the building split in half by the images that this isn’t a perfect alignment, but I don’t mind. It is a way for me to monitor progress and see how and where to improve. I really want to keep playing with photos to create different effects as I believe it will really enhance my blog. I have a long way to go to develop but that’s okay. I love the feeling of improvement.
And it is nice to see the contrast between the skyline pics thanks to the weather. What a difference a couple of days make.

Yes, it does look pretty swell to me too. I assume the pic on the left is the dull “hangover” shot, while the one on the right is the “not so hungover” one. Great idea.

Exactly! The weather reflects my moods and the weather whilst in those states. I like the contrast between the two 🙂

It was worth it 🙂 I can’t sit inside whilst hungover, I need to be doing something, providing it isn’t too hot. Thankfully it wasn’t 🙂
