This is a really simple trick to creating an ordinary photograph with some text into an engaging image. I have already done this in the GIMP: how to make see through text to image in gimp!

Experimenting with the Canon Macro 1:2.8 Lens and its amazing how crisp and clear the images are 
Unfortunately I was unable to get the DOF(Depth of Field) right in this shot, due to the hastiness of Bees:)

Digital Blending – Dynamic Range – GIMP
On April - 16 - 2010
When wanting to combine two or more photographs for a higher dynamic range (HDR) or correcting an overexposed photograph, I mostly use programs like Photomatix, however it is sometimes too difficult or frustrating fiddling with the settings for minutes getting nowhere. So, there is an easier way and in certain cases much better than an HDR especially if you want to avoid those really surreal photographs – Digital Blending is the way to go, you can be much more selective with your increases/decreases in dynamic range and get more realistic results.
