Overlap: A Junior Conceptual Transport Project by Marina Sigunova (2017)

The object of my photograph is two bike wheels overlapping each-other. It was taken in the early afternoon along with the rest of the shots I did for that project. We have a “balcony” in our first floor apartment that we primarily use to store all the bikes we’re not using on a daily basis. These two particular bikes belong to my mother and my sister who aren’t using them as much at the moment. There is also a lot of junk in the background that I was, admittedly, too lazy to fish out from behind the bikes. I choose those particular bikes because they both are bright and colorful which makes for a neat contrast.

I used a few adjustment layers to fix up the contrast just a little bit, no drastic changes there. I think I am getting used to them. That’s good because I know those are used often. I also attempted to blur out the background but I couldn’t really do it the proper way because I didn’t had enough time, so, instead I did a decent enough selection of the background and then made a copy of it on a separate layer on top of layer one and applied gaussian blur to it. Which is probably not the right way to do it, but it sort of works and that’s what counts.
