Thank you, Allen. It was right by the Sand Dunes. #3327693

I know the area well. Not too far from Devils Racetrack. Nice concept #3327712

What did you use to merge the three? #3329573

Ola Laguna September 19, 2006

HI Allen,
To merge those pictures I used Photoshop CS2. At first I had to enlarge and crop the first picture (the one with a cloud where the girl is walking down with the backpack). My second step was to select people from the second picture (the one where the girl is passing her camera to the boy). I decreased the size of the figures and I placed them in the middle of my new composition. On the end I selected people and the ground from the last picture (the one where the boy is taking a picture) and I put it on the end of the composition.

WOW! I read how you composed this ... and all I can say is, I wish I was this good. Was this a "happy accident" type of composition or did you know you were going to do this when you set out to take the picture. Really love it.... #3452425
