"A happy stroll in life will make your walk all the more colorful."
This was part of a calendar idea that I had going for 2009. Never got around to getting 12 photos together (I managed to get 5 together) for this year so I have put it on the shelf for next year. The object of this composition was for the umbrella to 'mimic' a rainbow. I know that it is not entirely true to the ROY G. BIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet) because I felt the green needed to break up the blue tones at the end of the sequence.
Details: I had my youngest skip and jump while taking photos on rapid fire. Camera was on a tripod to ensure composition stayed fixed. Then I choose a sequence from the photo shoot and began processing.
Seven layers each with one shot of the sequence layed out. I did have to do some selective editing to make sure clouds were not 'blurred' through overlap.
Selective editing to change colors of umbrella which is originally red. Why spend a ton of money and time trying to find the right colors and same size of umbrellas when it can all be done in PP:-)?
this is the best photograph .. fantastic happy feel and excellent processing .. shame you couldnt enter this one in a challenge .. love the different coloured umbrellas and your dancing child .. a beautiful and imaginative image .. :)
