This is, unfortunately, the only edit I was able to get out of my shoot linking to Tom Hussey. This was because of the lack of suitable subject that I could use as well as the limited amount of time I had to do this shoot. I do, though, feel that this is a really good image. To make this edit there were a few simple things that I had to do in photoshop. After taking the photos and checking that they were okay, I opened up the images in photoshop. I used the quick selection tool to go around the mirror in the image of the younger person and then inversed it and deleted the background. I then dragged the mirror image onto the other one and positioned it so that the mirrors lined up in both images. I then simply flattened it. Although a very simple technique I feel that the end result is a good one and it shows the 'Passing of Time' well. I had my camera on auto settings and auto focus.
