A helicopter over Plymouth....but not as you know it

[Bololoco]

My first attempt at layering images in Affinity photo. The three pictures are of a helicopter, a cloud and the stuff at the bottom is a tree line in a local park.

Yeah it's a bit crap but i'm sure someone would wear it on a t shirt!

Fancy having it printed then?.....

Maybe once I learn a bit more. This was really just slap dash, and looking at it now, I should have isolated each element of the picture then layered them. The cloud is bleeding through the helicopter and all the colour adjustments I did had an effect on everything and not just the cloud layer but i'll get the hang of it once I bother to RTFM, if I ever bother to RTFM that is!

I think I saw exactly that at the Reading Rock Festival in 1972.....

You remember a festival? I barely recall anything of my party years, they're just one big blur of hedonism....lots of fun though...I think.

Anyway, my fun years didn't start until the 80's. I was still at junior school in 1972 (born 65).

I am rather impressed with the progress you are making.

Thanks. I'm trying to do a bit every day and push myself to do things i've not done before.

The way I see it is that if I make a mistake it doesn't matter, I can always do it again but differently until I get a result I like.

I'm also taking the opportunity to take pics for the monthly competition and i'll change that almost every day. I'll swap it back to my favourite for the judging period.

Also, I take a camera out walking the dog so there's always new pictures to edit and I like the challenge of making something boring into something interesting.
