Gobstopper Abstract

Description

Using Willie Wonka Gobstoppers, I created this abstract. I blurred out a photo of gobstopper candies. In another, I did a macro of some of the small ball candies. I then took these two photos and layered them together and put a difference blend on them. This gave the the macro gobstopper balls a glowed appearance. I then layered in the blurred image again, masked and then brushed in the front glowing gobstoppers.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 10/16, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 100, White Balance: manual white balance, Focal Length: 300mm, Camera Model: NIKON D80
