Mixing players - 7th post

Hi all

This week, Maddy taught us in class about working with layers. As she said , we should keep some of the mixing photos we like. Hence, I would like to show some of my interesting works.

I used the two photos on blackboard in Blends folder to deal with the practice.

1)Darken mode:

This is the pattern I like the most. The reason is that the eye image does not appear so clear or so blur. It is just enough to make the impression. The whole stair in the original one still looks clear and sharp. The big eye above the black stair and between the two black walls really fits in the photo. Moreover, the green leaves spreading through the eye lip contributes to make the image nicer. It gives me the thought about the eye of time.

2)Hard Light
This image is completely different. The eye takes the whole sight, and the stair and the walls just look like the blur background. This reminds me about the memory each of us has last in our lives.

3)Exclusion:


This pattern of mixing is absolutely strange. The colors might have been "excluded" in some ways. As you see, the upper part of the eye still remains the shape and we still recognize it. However, at the lower part, everything looks more blur and not evident. It gives us a feeling that this eye comes from another world, another place, not on earth.

Thank you for spending your time reading this post. Cheers.
