I began exploring different blend modes and ways to combine various images. While working on this my internet was down for some time so I mainly used images I already had on my computer including some photos of clouds from a previous project and some roses I was considering to use with a different icon for this project. I think I was able to get some really interesting outcomes and I know have a better idea of how the various blend modes work and what to expect.
Some of the images I used to combine with the original photo include some clouds, photos of roses and an image of sunset from the surface of Mars.
Overall, I think I was able to achieve some really interesting effects. I also began working on selecting and masking some of the elements within the photograph. I was able to get Wilbur Wright selected fairly easily but the plane is presenting some unique challenges. Due to the many thin lines and the light color of the plane which blends into the background, it is fairly difficult to select but I am hoping with some more practice and a few more attempts I will have it successfully selected
Now that I have internet working again, I think I want to explore more elements of outer space within the piece. Something I find really interesting about this image is that it laid the foundation for space exploration. While the Wright brothers did not invent the airplane, they were the first to fly and I also want to explore that adventure and determination within my piece.
