Practical

In today's session, we will engage in two exercises centred around creating double exposure images. Initially, we will follow the class tutorial to create a double exposure composition. Subsequently, for the second exercise, we will use our own image to create another double exposure composition.

Reflection

The exercise taught me how to blend different images together smoothly to create a double exposure picture. I learned about adjusting how see-through things are, layering pictures, and using different blending styles. This exercise was also a challenge because I got to be creative by putting different things together to make a good visual composition.
