Hey Folks,
While I’m going through my recent images, I processed this one and thought I’d post it for kicks. It’s a simple computer trick, which even a cursory look unveils. All I did here was copy the image, flip it horizontally, and paste it alongside the original. I got a split second to shoot this scene, as the bears didn’t hold the position very long – another bear came by and the cub backed away from his nonchalant mum. I was thinking about the composite when I took the frame, remembering the shot I made a number of years back (on this page).
I don’t do a lot of this kind of photoshop trickery, but sometimes it’s fun. I’m interested to hear if folks like this image or not.
Thanks.
Cheers
Carl
It’s always a pleasure to open my email and see that you’ve posted to your blog.
It’s a fantastic image and I’m fine with the PS alterations.

Nope, don’t go down that road. You don’t want to end up another John Hyde.
Hey Bud!
It is different, but I gotta admit I’m not real big on the PS creations. Cool photo though! Instead of flipping it – you should have pasted an image of you staring down the sow- now that would have been funny.
How does that song go… old friends sat on their park bench like bookends…
Hey Ron,
Me on the back of the cub would be better, eh?
hey Jon, – I actually like Johnny Hyde’s work .. but don’t worry, I’m pretty far from “that road” … in fact, I’m not even sure I can get to “that road” from here.
Hey Michael – thanks for posting. It’s great to hear from readers who like the blog, thanks.
Hey Musa – Paul Simon, no less.

Ya know the effect is easily seen but this works very well. Cool image.
Hey Dan,
Thanks man. Yeah, I wanted to keep it pretty obvious what was going on, so left it pretty simple. I also liked the symmetry that created.
Cheers

You could have at least given them some party hats or something… 🙂
