Photomontage Project "One Step Back"

From the moment that motion was rambled off in the list of ideas for this project, I instantly thought of a train. Before I moved closer to school, I lived in Finley (Fintuckey) And the trains run what seems like every twenty minutes. After living out there for a year, I got used to them. But now I live in Richland, and I for some crazy reason wanted to remember the train. I then took an adventure out to Toothaker to wait for the train. I waited for about half an hour then the first train came by. Being my luck, it was the kind of the train that I wanted to do a project on; it was an amtrak train, not a cargo train. So I waited some more. Waiting for another hour I start to get pretty bored, so I then took off down the road that goes alongside the railroad track. Took some selfies, and pictures of my truck and finally I hear the ground rumble again. 'Get ready' I told myself, cause the day light was running away fast. It came by so fast, such an adrenaline rush it was amazing. I took 78 pictures of one train in like a minute. Also, that is why I named it 'One Step Back' because I was standing pretty close to it and as more of the train went by the more I wanted to take a step back cause I was just so close. 

For this project I mainly used the magic tool, the lasso tool, the blur tool, the smudge tool, and  the eraser to my advantage. Many of my classmates helped me as well. One day in class I got overly frustrated and thought to myself that this is ridiculous that I feel like this, so I then went home and played with my photomontage for 5 hours figuring out photoshop. And wala! Here it is.
