Falling Leaves

 


This picture was my first to be published, in the UK magazine Digital Photography.

Technique:

Apart from the obvious photo subjects the rest of the image is made from PaintShop's tubes.

The image is made up in layers, with lower layers becoming progressively darker in colour and more blurred.Drop shadow is added between each layer to emphasise the depth.

In this case I was not attempting to create a realistic look, but the same technique will work on anything were you are creating a sense of depth. Simple rule: "As the distance to the object increase, its sharpness and saturation decrease".
