day 364 - mirrored light paint



i started this one out thinking i would do it all up in camera again..... the idea was to take a picture of me waving around the light saber, and then using the nikon camera effects, duplicate the picture, flip it horizontally, and then overlay it it back onto the original version.

but, apparently nikon didn't think anyone would ever want to flip a picture in the camera, because that's not an option. so i had to do it in photoshop. i kept it quick and dirty, got in and got out, and that's it. the reason one half of the image is darker and less contrasty than the other is due to differences between how my camera handles raw files and how photoshop handles raw files..... i could've fixed it, but i kinda like the asymmetry in all that symmetry.
