Maruyama creates his photos from his 'Nude' series using multiple shots of a person moving, layered on top of each other, to create one smooth movement, making the silky effect that his photographs have. This effect is perfect for capturing movement in a still image.
To get this photograph, I mounted my camera on a tripod and found an interesting shot of the sky. I then held down the shutter release button in order to put the camera into continuous shooting mode. I took around 3 photos per second, and each image is made of between 20 - 40 photographs, layered on top of each other.
To make the final image, I made a layer of each photograph, then changed the layer modes of all the layers to 'Lighten'. This made the layers interact to create an overlap, without messing with the colours or saturation too much.
I then adjusted the levels, saturation, and contrast, to create a nice, vivid sky shot.
I liked this effect, especially how it looks in the top image. To improve on my shot, I would try to take photos during a sunset or sunrise, or of a more interesting sky.

Are you struggling with this unit, you need to get it finished quite sharpish. I can leave marking this until Monday, you need some final pieces and the work towards this.
