How did you combine the photos? I can see how you would be able to take surfer from multiple pictures, but how did you combine the wave? #3089534

Chris Welch July 27, 2006

Gregory, the wave is a composite from the 4 photos. I use layer mask in PS on each of the layers, and selectively erased portions to make a full wave. The bottom layer is on the left, and I add layers and erase sections to blend the photo.

Each section of the wave behind the surfer makes up a part of the full wave. If u look carefully just below the fourth shot u can see the border between erased areas. Sloppy PS technique on my part!

BTW, the photos in your gallery of the white spires are fantastic!!! #3090085

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
