Composite Portraits with a Mythical Creature

Composite photography, layering together multiple images to make one, has long been used in the world of commercial photography as a way to produce perfectly composed photographs that would be too difficult to create in one shot. As more and more people are beginning to see the benefits of composite photography, the technique is finding it’s way into other styles of photography as well including portraiture. Composite photography opens up the door to creativity for many photographers, including this one who went so far as to build his own mythical creature to add to a young boy’s portraits. Take a look.

Bakster, the friendly mythical creature featured in the photoshoot was built using spray foam and faux fur. In real life, Bakster is only 3-feet tall; however, thanks to composite photography, Bakster appears to be much, much larger. In the video we see him towering over a building, an effect made possible by photographing him in studio then layering that image into the alley scene.

EXTernal Graphics Card For Laptop Lovers

An external graphics card is a great way to use a performance graphics card as a plug and play external device.

An external graphics card is a good solution if you own a laptop or other computer with limited space to install special components. If you’re ready to upgrade your graphics card for better performance, consider an external graphics card. When you are on the go or working on other projects, the external graphics card does not need to be plugged in. When you get home and are ready to do some gaming, just plug in the external graphics card and enjoy the graphics!

When in use, a graphics card can eat up a lot of power. It grows warm quickly, drawing the attention of your cooling system away from the rest of your computer.

This can be a big drain on the system. Save power while you’re not using the card by simply unplugging it when you’re using less graphics-intensive programs, like word processors or internet browsers.
