Final Shoot - Edit Variation

For editing I used photoshop for all of them due to an arm or a person in frame.
 I used a 2 layers and a mask on the top. This meant I was able to remove the top layer apart from the blur. used the paint brush tool which allowed me to smooth the edges of the blur. In some cases I was able to move the blur around and it was solid compared to some of the others which were more opaque.

This picture was taken on the cliff tops where I had help to hold the tissue paper. Which was useful as it meant i was able to compose the shot better than I had been doing in some of my other final shoots. 

This was taken at the pool where I work. It didn't have the the best back drop as there are too many thing in it which makes the picture complex and confusing in what is the blur and what is the wet play area. I did this one on my own with a wireless remote to take the pictures as I held the tissue paper and moved it. In the pool I was able to not use the 10 stop fitter which removed the annoying blue tint from my work.

A few of the forrest pictures, the blurs where not on focus which is why this was not apart of my final piece. I was able to edit it but by no means was I able to use it. I was alone when I took this, which is likely why i had trouble getting it to focus as using the 10 stop filter the camera wouldn't auto focus.

This was taken on the cliff tops. The background is out of focus due to the 10 stop filter. The blur on this was edited well enough that I could move then blur around and even onto different picture with a similar back drop. I could have done all the blurs in a studio setting and added them in later but I had only thought about it after I took my final shoot.

I returned to a location I used in shoot 3. In my opinion I have improved my work when you compare the 2 pictures. Although this has the same problem as before where the blur is out of focus. I used a 10 stop filter even though It was getting dark it was still too bright for me to not use it. This may have caused how the blur was not in focus but also that the 10 stop filter prevented my camera from auto focusing and also was unable to see down the viewfinder. This made the job of focusing the camera a struggle by: focusing it without the filter on auto, chaining it to manual and then putting the filter back on. I would have to do this multiple times depending on the distance away I was
