Juxtaposing archive images

I decided to use this archived image of Corbiere Lighthouse as I know I already have photographs of this heritage sight and therefore can layer these images in order to show the juxtaposition of the site over time.

I am going to layer this image I have taken of Corbiere Lighthouse because the images have similar angles and both the images have a lack of colour, which I think will add an overall gloomy mood which would be interesting to contrast.

To juxtapose these images, I layered the archived image over my own photograph to project the contrast of the area over time. I then lowered the opacity of the archived image to create a ghost-like affect, almost representing time fading.
