photography workshop with Andre Gallant

I spent a wonderful weekend learning and being inspired by Andre Gallant.   The top image is a panning shot it is too dark on the top but I am still learning.  The bottom image is a dreamscape.  A dreamscape is two images of the same subject combined.  The first image is in focus and over exposed one stop.  The second image is exposed properly but slight out of focus to give the halo effect.  I can combine two images in my camera but this can be done in Photoshop Elements as well.  I am really excited to learn these cool artsy techniques.  I hoping to incorporate these images into my stitching.  So much fun!
