Worth 1000 Competition, Invisibility

Worth1000.com is a website that offers users to participate in competitions against one another. In one contest the goal was to make a something invisible. It’s best to choose an image that creates a funny or interesting result by the removal of an object.
Here was my submission.

I found the backpack especially difficult, as there wasn’t much existing material to work with. Anything the head covered had to be recreated. After a lot of cloning, and touching up i was happy with the result.

Fashion Work Sample

This background needed a lot of work as it was messy, distracting and not suitable for print.
The end result was more clean and structured  with the repeating cloned windows. It created a nice flow for the eye to follow around the page leading to the model.

Niagra Falls Panorama 2

Here is a larger Panorama taken at Niagra falls from a castle like structure above the line up to “maid of the mist”. It includes both Canadian falls, American Falls as well as some foreground and side structure.
What i find most amazing about these shots is how much more it feels like being there. Our eyes interpret so much more than just the square box in front of them, enter the age of widescreen LCD’s.

This time around i decided to include the original pictures i took before merging and editing. Besides some colour tweaking, i took out a few people who i felt were blocking the view. This one is roughly 62 inches wide at full size length. It’s so large in fact if you zoom in, you can make out people climbing the American waterfall from both sides.

Torn Photo repair

A perfect example of cloning at work on this old family photo. I think this was done for a family member years ago. It would be fun to go back and recolour this one.
