My next image in the magic of books series. I was inspired by similar images I have seen on the net. Each figure or group of figures was created as an individual layer and duplicated. The duplicate was rotated to match the light provided by the single flash (image left at 1/64th) and had the opacity reduced to 25%. Gaussian blur was added to simulate the dof of the original base image of the book and to make the shadows less strongly defined. Another layer was used to blur out the background (a single rumpled curtain) and copious amounts of paint in a variety of tones were added to further build up the background and blur the line where the book ends a bit. Colours were then manipulated a bit more on another layer. All-in-all, I enjoyed processing this image. It took some time but I think it looks pretty cool.
