Post Production Work: Two photographs I made (one of clouds and one of a man steering a gondola on the lake in Central Park) were merged (layered) using Photoshop CS4. The cloud image was used as I shot it, although I used only a portion of the original shot. The gondola image was adjusted using layers so I could control the opacity to fade in and out parts I wanted. I stripped away the entire background of the gondola image leaving just the boat, the man, the oar. Both images were adjusted in Lightroom 2 before being brought into Photoshop CS4. In Lightroom the brightness and contrast were slightly adjusted on each image.
