Multiplying Multiple Image Experiments

These three images are experiments. Only the first one ended up as I intended when I shot it.

It was very overcast and it was, to quote Pooh Bear, a blustery day. We did not see any other dogs except those barking through windows. So opportunities were somewhat limited.

#1 is pretty straightforward in that I was standing still (indeed the "standing still" part is true of all of these, subject to Harry pulling on his leash.) There were 12-13 frames merged and aligned in Photoshop. All layers were at 10% opacity before flattening the image and then I adjusted the curve and color with the usual Photoshop tools.

#2 was processed the same way except for one twist. Since it was such a grey day I used Luminar Neo's sky substitution capability to make the sky a bit more interesting. I was surprised that NEO extended the sky to the white areas around the original layer edges.

#3 was a bit more complicated. There are 13 layers shot at 300nn in the inner rectangle that were aligned per usual and then flattened. Separately I processed an image shot a few seconds after the others at 70mm. The sky, again, was a substitution in Luminar NEO. Then I combined the two images as layers and resized and rotated the inner rectangle so it would align with the wider image.

So, today I earned how to resize and rotate a layer. It is not difficult if you know how, but it was not intuitive.I also decided that tomorrow I need to figure out how to make the background surrounding the aligned layers transparent rather than white when I overlay it on another layer as I did in #3.

And Harry thought the most exciting thing that happened today during our walk was that he pooped three times.
