'Interesting Images' By Roberts Birze.
2008-04-22 20:04:00
'Interesting Images ' By Roberts Birze.Many people assume that only one photograph is used for creating these images along with the selection tool in photoshop to make smaller selections & paste them together to form the image. But that's not how it works always. Though the technique is very simple but it takes time, all it needs is planning & ability to visualize the scene (now this is a not an easy part). Take many photos of the scene you have in mind & do remember that each of the photo overlaps the other. Using a photo editing software that allows use of layers, you need to create a large new canvas and then cut & paste each image onto a new layer. Further on, its up to you how to take it from there.

Would it really make any difference if you have a longer tongue or if your boyfriend has it? Well we don't think so; then again some may disagree for various reasons! So can you fold your tongue into a "U" shape? Or can you do any of this tongue twisting?
