Out with the old, in the new! This is the concept behind my approach to photography is “Wrecking Ball”. But more importantly, perhaps, is the picture a good example of the fact that the image “imaginary being stronger than literal. In the photographs, I am sure it is true that” perception is more important than “reality”! I think the public more comfortable and more acceptable for the image that their mental image … fit and let’s face it … many times the reality not only maintain what we picture in our heads. Also, if a viewer sees the image and perception is something that they can quickly, in their thoughts, go to the news … instead fit with their unconscious, the reality of their preconceived ideas. However, in my work experience, catering, unless it looks good in conceptual photography. When I took this picture I went to a scrap yard in San Francisco and shot some pictures. However, it was clear that the reality does not match my idea. What I had was a picture in my head like a wrecking ball, a steel ball at the end of a chain … Smashing through bricks and cement, as the side end of a crane swing. In reality it is a real tear-shaped device at the end of a cable is usually removed as a building … at least that’s what I was seeing, as I have about the filming of that scene demolition in September My ” Imaginary Portrait “was much more graphic and more powerful than reality. I decided to go with the perception of reality instead. As I thought back to my office, I went to my created image , I thought that could be done as a manhole cover demolition ball. Since I had my camera with me, I photographed about a block from my office. I also have the sidewalk and a part that was photographed cracking. Once back in the studio I have an old rusty chain that had gathered dust for some time in my room and prop blow. I scrounged a brick and shot several points of departure. In my stock photo files I found some pictures a computer simulated explosion years ago I photographed for the cover of a magazine. I was struck by shots of the demolition of a road (in 1989 after the earthquake) is the background. Soon I had all the parts I need would make my new photographic reality. To create the image I started with the wrecking ball. I used the filter in Photoshop crashes on the manhole cover, a cover that had consumed years traffic. The filter, with 100% ownership has become a globe of steel manhole cover. I added a maxing to highlight a new level of adjustment (brightness and contrast) and brightness … effective then using the supplied mask level to level to isolate only a small hotspot. I repeated the process, this time black-level adjustment and the painting is down, give the illusion of even greater smoothness. I used the pen tool to create a clipping path around the outside of the ball … the path turned into a selection (with a feather of a pixel) and then inverting the selection before deleting … remains is my new very “dimensional” Wrecking “Ball. I have another crop to separate the chain from the background. After copying and pasting the chain pictured with the ball, I used Free Transform in size and position … then the filter chain to add some ‘curve, the chain … and the motion blur filter to use to add just a hint of movement. , The pen tool clipping path back and work for the selection of pavement that has been directed to be entered in, I am in a crumbling wall by using layer masks to “paint” the sidewalk and out as needed. Masks plan worked well also identify “computer explode strokes of paint dust and debris. Finally, the same technique used to connect the stones. To integrate the whole picture, I used to adjust hue and saturation control in an adjustment layer for the image of a sepia look. This is like a manhole cover and a sidewalk of a more powerful graphics than the real …. Although many years ago did, the picture is a timeless. Through the creation of images that create our “perception” rather than “reality” can store images that both have more influence (OK … pun intended), and a source of revenue longer match. the best of both worlds!
