    Metamorphosis

    Paper Art I shot a couple of weeks back, which started off like this, shot in table top studio with two flash guns bounced with red and green gels



    An hour and many layers later, it turned into a butterfly

        Re: Metamorphosis

        thanks for looking guys. It looks more complicated than it is.

        Using the basic shot, I selected the paper art from the background and pasted as a new layer on to an enlarged black background, then duplicated the paper art layer, reduced in size by 10% and rotated 5 degrees then moved into position. Repeat on the last layer a number of times and you end up with this



        I then used my "spiral" action and 16 layers later, this was the result



        the bottom part of the image was then selected,copied and pasted, flipped and joined to this stage



        Finally the head/body and the antenae were made from the basic shot and added making the final result

                  Thanks for that, especially the explanation on how you achieved the final shot. I don't have the artistic or photographic ability to do anything like that and I'm damned glad that there are people that do!

                    Great images, Stan. What amazes me even more than the impressive processing is your vision in seeing a butterfly to aim for. Excellent.
