Toronto Photo Essay: Skyline Fusions

These are so strange yet intriguing. Were these cut and pasted digitally, or were prints cut and pasted together (it's not clear from the description)?

very interesting!
I like the Port Edward one in South Africa!

My guess is that they were prints cut and pasted. Good question :)

I simply razor cut along the shoreline, tape the two shots together and scan. I clean the join line up with a Microsoft program and sometimes use the flickr one to juice up the colours and add snow to some shots. Some of my photofusions join shots that are 32 years old to ones from today. Matching exposure levels and colour as well as reflections with their source can make things more challenging. On some shots, I've done a flip on the lower half for a more pleasing result. Colour saturation can also give the photofusions that punch that draws your attention. I've discovered on flickr that I can pump up views on a dead picture by increasing brightness, colour and levels.

These are really interesting. It would be cool if some of these were real scenery! I particularly like the two boardwalk ones.

These are awesome! The Acapulco one is my favourite.

I can't see either tower in the nude beach scene! (j/k)

These had been catching my eye on Flickr... very fun and attractive pieces.

Awesome!

Love the analog meets digital approach these entail! So cool, Robert.

THEY SHOULD DO A TO FUSION WITH TORONTO SKYLINE AND THE AL AQSA !!!!

Love these fusions.. they make me smile :)

I loved the Tanzania on Toronto skyline. I was hoping to see other skylines fused. Perhaps the parliament buildings or the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop for variety.

I think Tanzania was really cool. I think it would be really funny if there was Mount Everest in the background.

toronto is the best city in the world!!!
