Picture by Simon Wilkinson/SWpix.com - 11/09/2014 - Cycling - 2014 Friends Life Tour of Britain - Stage 5, Exmouth to Exeter - Great Britain Cycling Team's Tao Geoghegan Hart.
As promised, here is how I put together my Welcome to My Twisted World shot.
Step 1 - Using my Canon point and shoot camera (mounted on a tripod), I took this picture.
Step 2 - I then put that pic on the display for my point and shoot camera. I mounted my dSLR on the tripod, held out the point and shoot camera with my entire hand in the frame and took this shot.
Step 3 - Before I took this shot, I set the focus to manual, so that the focus from this shot stayed the same as the one from Step 2. Set the camera on timer and went to sit on the sofa with the same pose. I was off by a tad but oh well.
Step 4 - Using Photoshop, I combined the shots from Step 2 and Step 3 to get this shot.
Step 5 - Cropped the finished image from Step 4 to match the resolution of my monitor (1024 x 768) and made it my desktop wallpaper.
Step 6 - Put on a jacket, hid my hand inside my sleeve, and positioned my sleeve next to the monitor. I had to mount my dSLR on a tripod in order to take this shot. Not easy to hand hold that beast with my left hand and press the shutter with my offhand. Anyways, it took a few shots to get it look right. I still think it looks off, but it's good enough. :)
And there you have it!
REALLY! Watch the full set here: miguel.martinsalmeida.com/2010/02/facity-behind-the-scenes/
I love the Facity project. It is so nice to register the faces of our city! After taking my photo, I'm always inviting my friends to do the same. Today it was the day of my brother Henrique, and three nice friends: Paulo Xavier, VirgÃnia and Lara. And I wanted to be present on this moment, too =)
Paulo's and VirgÃnia's photos wasn't too difficult to photograph. Just a little tantrum. But with Lara... it was really really hard to convince her to take her photo. After 20 minutes of tears, requirements, threats and intimidations, Lara proposed a deal: she will let his father (and not, Tiago!) to take his photo in exchange for candies. After this moment, the tears reduced a lot... but she wasn't too convinced to accept.
After more 10 minutes of negotiations, Lara started to sympathize with Tiago and everything became easier. Finally, it was possible to take her photo! In the end, we went to a café to eat the candies. She deserved them! =)
At night, Lara saw this photos and start laughing and theatricalize the morning moments! ahah
The photos are a a little blur because I need to be really fast to take the photo and hide the camera. Otherwise, Lara will notice my camera and start crying again :p Oh, and on this last photo I loved the expression of Lara staring at Tiago as she was asking "so, do you like it?"
