Levitations

Hello hello hello all!

Sooo, recently I've figured out how to make levitation shots... Have any of you done that? It's a looot of fun. So if you don't know how to do it, I'll explain it to you.

First of all you'll need a chair or a stool type thing. That's what you'll be sitting or lying on. If you want to look like you're lying down, you'll have to either use to chairs/stools or balance on one. Then when you've taken the photo, you go on Photoshop or Picnik to edit out the chair/stool. I use Picnik, so I'll explain it with that... You upload the picture on Picnik.com and go on the Touch Up section of the Create section. You then use the Clone tool to "erase" the chair/stool. And ta da, your levitation shot is complete. Now you can continue editing the photo however you want to...

Here are some levitation samples:

  1. I love levitations! It's almost weird how addicting they are... I use Photoshop Elements, here's the tutorial I used for Photoshop or Elements: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurenrosenbaum/2680023138/

  3. I must attempt this.
    Though I'm sure my photoshopping will be less than perfect...

  4. I used 1 stool for all of them except for the one with the blanket... I used two stools for that.

    And my editing skills are by far not perfect! haha... :)
