The basis of my thesis.

Canon A720 - 1/60 sec - f/3.2 - ISO 400 - ~35mm

Overhead fluorescent lights.

Used GIMP to adjust levels, added white background to extend the image for the watermark. Blended the two layers using layer mask and a gradient. Scaled and watermarked.

I sat the helicopter on white paper, which isn't exposed as full white (because then I'd over expose the helicopter). As a result, I couldn't make it look quite right on the white webpage (or on the white pages of my thesis). This can be done with a light under the paper, but this wasn't practical.
