Midterm


I used several images to work on this photo montage. I have tried to do Shivaji Maharaj's coronation in this montage. The background is Raigad Fort which was the capital of his empire. The Fort, Chattri (on the right side), coin, and Shivaji Maharaj, all these images are from the web. The rest like the shield and sword, horse,text in marathi, and musicians are my photographs. For the text I cropped each word and desaturated the image and then applied hue and saturation to get the color. I took the photo of the drawing of each musician using the auction option in the camera. I used several techniques here. Levels Adjustment, match color, hue and saturation, cropping, layer blending, opacity, and duotone.
