Merging photos

We're updating blogs in class today, and I'm still a little short on material... are you tired of hearing that yet? Anyway, the best I can come up with for today is a little blurb about photoshop again, and putting multiple photos together.

A few weeks ago in class we took pictures on our downtown campus and used photoshop to merge them together. I worked with a partner to take photos, so photo credits on this go to Andrea (thank you for letting me use your photos, yell if you want me to take this down because it belongs to you).

The three photos I merged into the main photo are pretty obvious, the flower in the lower left, the palm tree on the upper left, and the HPU sign in the upper right. I think my favorite is the palm tree, just because there's already a palm tree there, but I like the way the merged photo looks, it's more vibrant.

This composite is obviously not the most talented work I've ever done, but I'm not used to merging images in photoshop quite yet, so this is what early efforts look like. And it's not terrible... I don't think so, anyway.
