This was a photo I took of a mountain range in Colorado.As a class project, we were working on a piece focusing around surrealism, where we took something that does not exist in reality and add it to an image we have taken in the past to create a realistic but imaginative piece. I decided to focus on dragons because I become a bit of a dork when it comes to anything fantasy related (Skyrim, dungeons and dragons, etc.) so I had a ton of fun making this because really, the sky is the limit here. I brought in some images of free flying dragons and added them to my photograph and edited it all in a way to achieve the look of an photograph capturing these dragons and a distant castle within. The goal for me was to make the unreal as real as possible. So the faint blur and mist around the dragons I did intentionally, so they would not become an eyesore from their previously pixally state and to kind of imitate that capturing of movement that we see with so many photographs.
