       So for this final project, I decided to make some abstract artwork with some automotive photography of mine. I plan to use different sets of cars for the rest of the images that I produce. I love Porsches, so I might make it a Porsche themed project. I also do have some other cars that I could use, but we'll see. I like the direction this image is headed, so expect to see more of this for the final iterations.

 

 I tried another technique to capture the motion/sequence of the act of throwing the frisbee with some radial/motion blurs. I thought that better captured the energetic nature of the act. I also changed the aspect ratio of the image to cut away some unnecessary space. Took me an hour or so fiddling around with the orientation to get something I liked. The composition is raw at the moment with little to no crazy photoshop effects going on besides the blurs and some color correction, but I wanted to leave it this way intentionally for this progress post as it is the idea in its raw state. After looking at it for a while, I do appreciate how clean it is, but I do want to add some effects to it.

 I love playing with my pups, and playing with them is most certainly a sequence. I thought that frisbee would be an interesting subject for this, and I had a bunch of photos of them in motion running for and catching the frisbee, so I went with it and started playing around with it. Here's what I've got so far. I've composited a series of images taken at different distances. I thought that compositing them all together like this illustrated the repeating sequence of playing frisbee: I throw it, they run, they catch it (or don't), they run back to me, and the sequence is completed. 

 

Had some more fun with these and played around a bit with different orientations of things and colors. These two were my favorite that I made. I added some blueprint elements to the first one which I thought looked neat and broke up the composition in an interesting way, and for the second one, I rearranged everything a little bit and added more "chaos" to the mix.
