Video supplement:
A bunch of examples to illustrate cutting pictures in half and what use it can be.

This time Martin is sticking a lot of individual images together to form collages. He covers the way of shooting them and how to create controlled chaos in the result.

Video supplement available here (NPC-OLV-2008-06-16; 6:30; flash format).
Show Notes: June 16, 2008
Inspired by Heather Champ of flickr and David Hockney, a British pop artist, we this time venture into a more arty way of taking and working on pictures. By shooting panoramic-like, but without the meticulous control that's used in normal panoramas, we get a dozen or so images that can be arranged into a chaotic collage.
Video supplement:
This week's slideshow shows a few examples of the finished collages and follows the creation of a couple too.
