Photo Compositing and Manipulation
I used a different set of tools to assemble this photo.  Total experiment but I like the results. Logo was captured from the web, the Layers app was used to create "layers" duh, with transparencies and position shifts and background.  I used the gallery on the iPad to display the work, then shot it with iPhone 4 and ran it through the Instagram app using the lo-fi filter.  
I'm fascinated by bridges.  The one in this composition crosses near Newport. 
From about 10 years of age, these Jaguars has been a favorite design.  I saw this one at a craft fair in Weston, CT.  Out comes the iPhone.  A year later came the opportunity to give it a new life.  Imagine tooling through Chianti country in one of these.  
There are at least twenty layers to the composition with masks and textures grabbed from my photo files.  The map?  It was in a drawer upstairs.  Been there, but unfortunately I was driving a car we, not so affectionately, named the Toad.  
This poster was the anchor for a set of ten created for a wedding reception.  The theme was "jumping".   Appropriate don't you think?   Although the layering is not extensive is did require some of Photoshop's other fun tools like the content aware feature.  I needed a little more water for the composition so it was stretched.    The background is the lovely Hotel Santa Catarina in Amalfi, Italy.  It really is that awesome.  Just a few steps above the Mediterranean.
