To create this I took 3 images and concentrated on the factors that stood out which could potentially create a pattern, focus point and contrast. I also looked at the many shapes and values and to do this I edited all my photos to black and white to make it a lot clearer.
I then used a layer mask to make sure I wasn’t working in a destructive way. Because I wanted to convey movement, I used the motion blur on photoshop on the plates to make it look as if they were moving fast and I changed the opacity of them. I also changed the opacity of the 2 images behind to create a pattern in the background.
I then edited the the brightness and shadows to make the plates stand out.
When I was editing the plates I wanted to make the pattern stand out even with the motion blur because this added to the busy environment I wanted to create.
Overall I am happy with how it turned out and as I was making sure I kept in mind how I would balance this image which helped when I was placing the plates. Im happy with the contrast and how it looks soft ,this is because I didn’t make any harsh highlights
