I was photographing the sunset on Howard Murph Memorial Park in Rockport during my recent visit to the area\u00a0when I noticed a\u00a0bird flying around. So, I took multiple images hoping that the bird would fly in the middle of the sun. It did all but that! So, I took all the images that I captured\u00a0and merged them into a single\u00a0image using Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Composite images are quite popular today. I&#8217;m not a big fan of them as I tend to be somewhat of a &#8220;purist&#8221; photographer. I like to photograph real images. Yes, I make some changes to saturation levels of what the camera captured\u00a0to reproduce\u00a0what I thought I saw in an image, but many artists spend a significant\u00a0amount of time &#8220;creating&#8221; new images from multiple images. The photographer we met in Rockport (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnMartellPhotography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Martell<\/a>) was one of those photographed that likes to &#8220;compose&#8221; an image and may capture\u00a0multiple images to make a single, more dramatic image. There is nothing wrong with that approach as there is an artistic license to photography in the same way that painters paint what they &#8220;see&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6842\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6842\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160216-Howard-Murph-Memorial-Park-Sunset-Birds.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6842\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6842\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/composite\/howard-murph-memorial-park-sunset-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/20160216-Howard-Murph-Memorial-Park-Sunset-Birds.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
