Landscape in a Bottle

1. I learned how to blend images together, how a clipping mask works and how to use some of the adjustment layers better like levels and hue/saturation.

2. My final file has 33 layers.

3. I liked this assignment because it was really interesting to see how these images that are used for advertising are created and how many steps it takes to make it.

1. For image 3 I used rule of thirds and emphasized the sky more by placing the horizon lower than the center.

2. I used emphasis, proportion and movement by capturing the road.

3. The image was taken around 3 in the afternoon, I think it was a good time to shoot because although the sky was a bit cloudy there was still some sun behind the clouds that brightened the sky just a little. 

4. I used the foreground/background relationship by capturing the road and the proportion of the road from foreground to background.
