Dream Catcher I

This is a warm tone monochromatic print. It is a composite of three image layers (obviously, she was not actually floating in the sky).

About the clouds, I usually take a camera with me when taking day trips or even when just running errands. On the day I captured these clouds, I was shopping for furniture at Rubin's in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. It was toward the end of the business day, in December, and when I left the furniture store the sun was setting and these wonderful clouds were drifting over a frozen Lake Monona. I jogged to the car, grabbed the Fuji X-E3, and snapped a few frames before heading home. I put the image files in a folder called "Sky," and I used them here. 

A third element in this composite is a thin layer of texture. I take too many pictures of textures -- rust, snow, bark, brick, stone, scarred steel, weathered paint, fabric.
