while I would like to have a go at compositing elements together, without Photoshop it is going to be difficult so, what are my alternatives?
back in the days of film I'd keep a neg file full of 'interesting skies' which could be printed in on a landscape with a bland sky. I think this counts as compositing but, what if the sky shot was say projected, and the subject lit in such a way that none of the projection was washed out by the lighting? then we can do that slow speed sync thing as well?
or multiple exposure in camera? though that might take some doing. the background I am thinking of in my previsualised headshot, is a whirling spinning cosmos, playing on the line of thought that this subject has multiple ideas some of which could be said to be out of this world.
software~wise all I have is Aperture.
the other way it could be done, the way that Hipgnosis did a lot of their work, regular montages.
what say ye?
