A large percentage of my Photoshop work is putting pictures together. This opens creative doors way beyond what we can see. For example, there would be no way to capture this kind of image in Venice without making a composite. To have the models sharp and the background abstracted can only be done with two separate images. Using the cut and paste technique they can be combined after-the-fact. I shot the background with a two second exposure, and the models were photographed with a shutter of 1/200th of a second. I used the pen tool to make the precise selection around the models so when the edges are examined at 100% magnification, you can't tell this was a combination of images.
