Jake - Recipe 4

For my picture this week, I got inspired while walking around downtown. I was looking for similar shapes, and it sparked an idea. First, I took a picture of a bike, chained up somewhere. It had to be against a background that was not only interesting, but not confusing (for example, it couldn't be chained up with a lot of other bikes, for it would be too dark and wouldn't stand out). It took me a bit but I found a bike off of South Street. Then, I took the picture of me on the sewer grate.

Next, I used an app called "Image Blender". I did exactly the effect you see in the photograph within the app. I had a soft edge on the way I cut it, and moved /scaled it to the right size in order to match the circles.

Finally, I touched it up a little in the Camera+ app to give a little color saturation and pop to the overall picture. The sidewalk lines and brick background added to the photograph and I think it all worked out well!
