Cloning



          My strongest technical aspect of this work is how I lined up the photos. I thought lining up all of the photos was kind of simple and straight forward so I got the hang of that pretty fast. I could have worked on lighting better, my original photos had really bad lighting so I had to edit them a bout so they appeared brighter. I also would move so I could try and get my cat to move with the use of one of her cat toys and when I moved back to take more pictures I moved the tripod with my feet by accident. So if I could work on anything I would have better lighting and I wouldn't walk into the tripod.
          The easy part of this project for me was lining up the pictures as I had said earlier I thought that was easy to get the hang of. I also thought editing the picture to appear brighter was simple. This project took me a long time to do because I struggled with lots of stuff. I couldn't properly make the clones appear and would instead white out a section of a photo or simply fade it. I had a lot of problems with making the layers appear and work but once you get the hang of it it's very nice.
          I demonstrated the objective of this art project by lining up the photos in order to properly clone my cat onto the photo multiple times. By having my cat appear more than once in the shot I was demonstrating the whole concept of cloning. If I could do this project again I would change a few things. For one I would get more lights so my pictures weren't so dark. I would also try to get more shots of my cat that didn't involve the chair so I wouldn't have to have two chair clones along with the cat, I mean it doesn't look awful but because the chairs are kind of conjoined I would want to at least have a gap between each chair so they don't appear to be one misshapen chair.
