For my first picture I tried to blend both my first drawing and picture of the same location, which was near the Staten Island ferry. I copied several objects such as the water from the photo and pasted them as new layers into my drawing. From there I used the move, transformation, and scale command to fit the layers together, and I used the transparency slider to blend the images. Finally, I altered the contrast, increased antialiasing, and added lens flare to make the image more dramatic.

I applied many of the same techniques from my first picture to my second. I took images from my photo such as birds and the sky and blended it in with layers, using the eraser tool when needed. I achieved a slightly different look by playing around with filters, such as cartoon. Like the first drawing, I also added lens flare, altered contrast, and raised antialiasing.
