When John and I were first introduced to this project, we knew we wanted to work on it together. We decided to walk down a trail near his house, but this time, with a purpose. We enjoy the sights of the lake and nature, and hearing the sounds of birds or even an occasional rustle of a bush caused by a deer. Being able to capture these on photograph to turn into a bigger project sounded like a great idea.
One day while I was at John's we decided to go ahead and knock out our project, we couldn't wait to start. We got on a couple bikes and biked down to the trail. The wind blowing past me as I rode felt great, the weather was perfect. As soon as we got on the trail we started shooting. I took way more than the suggested 10, but was able to pick the best of them later. We walked all the way down and back and took any pictures we thought were interesting.
On our way back we experimented with action shots on the bikes. It took many attempts but I believe a few turned out really well (pictured left). I always enjoy spending time with John and when we do things we both share interest in it makes it even better.

To start this project I turned each image black and white and adjusted the contrast to my liking. I tried to switch up the look by darkening the sky and making the greens and yellows brighter to make the foliage and tree leaves pop, instead of the sky like it does in the original image. Next, I laid them all out onto a photoshop canvas and started lining them up to match. Then, I began using the eraser to blend them together. My usual blending points were foliage, and I feel that those blends are my strongest. The trickiest part of blending was blending both of the paths pictured left and extending them using the clone stamp tool. I feel this panorama captures the beauty of nature and its interaction with humans.
