Location
All images were taken from the internet. It's a rich source of 'free' photos. You just have to find what you like and then try to blend in 2 or 3 images to make it your own. This is the forth in a series of images using Photoshop with blending modes and a touch of Adobe light room to define edges.Time
Time of day doesn't matter when you're scavaging for free images. Anything that will blend well with what you started out with. I think there is a total of four images incorporated into one. The birds nest was just something that wouldn't go away, so I added the Robin egges.Lighting
It's much brighter and more refined that what I started out with.Equipment
Just collected images from the internet.Inspiration
I saw the potential of the 'peach' colored rose and so I downloaded that first but then the right side of the image needed a balanced. So I went looking for bird eggs and found these beautiful "Only" Robin eggs.Editing
Tons and tons of post-processing to get everything to blend and still look natural.In my camera bag
I use a Canon 5D, Mark IV for my main camera. But I also have about 5 or 6 other point and shoot camera just in case I left the Mark IV at homeFeedback
You have to be very open to adjust images out of the camera. I post-process every image I take, so far . I have not seen an image straight out of the camera that can not use a little post processin. There is a ton of images out there and if you find you only like certain parts of it, then brush away those parts you don't like. And even move more images into your creation to make something unique. Photography is all about creating the best image you can and then tweak it into your own.
