Binary Perspectives

The young‘uns were making the best of the mild weather when I chanced on this photo-op. I’ve been waiting to do something like this for a while and ‘presto’ (do people say that anymore?…does seem to work in this case) the perfect moment presented itself. It’s one of those rare occasions when I had an idea about what I was going to do with this sequence of images as I was capturing it. Or maybe, I’ve always held this photoshop treatment in mental reserve. Anywayz, glad the sequence did lend itself to an almost seamless blend. A part of the landscape in the background was altered and some trees pruned digitally (I kill the magic I make…below is one of original pics from the sequence) to make it all ‘fit’, but I think it worked out fine for a couple of hours at photoshop.

It was the week spring arrived early…at least by Montreal standards. Early April is a time when Montrealers normally prepare for winters parting blows/snow-storm. This year we had almost a full week of unusually warm and very welcome weather… around 25 deg Celsius one day. I decided to take my new dslr camera for a test run, to record irrefutable proof of the pleasant conditions in case winter was playing another heartless prank. The warm weather of that week has not been repeated thus far but at least spring is here to stay. The above picture was taken from the front passenger seat of my car as we passed the bicyclist on that early spring day.
