Glass/Transparency

For this Project I decided to I wanted to use a wine glass for this picture and that I wanted to take a picture of a landscape inside the wine glass through my window, but as Friday was rolling around There was still no cool sunset outside my window so I decided to use another picture for it. I decided to stick with my landscape inside the wine glass and I chose a picture that I took a month or so ago from the outside of a car window of a nice sun set right outside of town. So I took a picture of an empty wine glass with the view of my window outside, then I put the two pictures in photoshop. When I put the two pictures together in photoshop I was still learning how to use photoshop, but I remembered a little from what Mr. A taught me. I put the empty wine glass picture as my background and then I put the sunset picture right on top of the wine glass. Obviously it didn't fit in the first place, I moved it around and tried to fill the whole cup before doing anything to it. After that I put the sunset picture in a hard light and started my editing. After everything was outside of the wine cup I started using the eraser to erase the parts of the picture that was outside of the wine cup. I ran into some trouble because I couldn't get the edges of the sunset picture from the to be straight, and instead of the outline of the picture being straight it was all bumpy on the outside. Then I decided to smudge the the outline and it turned out perfect. Then I put the whole picture in a gray scale and color selected the wine glass and I was very happy with the results.
