Ah, now, not sure about the dragon. It is difficult to distinguish where the backgound and the dragon start/end. It could be my monitor not up to the job. Excellent use of colour and the presentation is superb.

Cheers for you honest opinion! Again, in the original you can see the details a lot better as in this tincy stamp sized, micro resolution pic. :D

Here is one I made earlier...

Raven

17-Jan-08, 13:09

Aww highlander, how lovely is Bruno???
Although I dont think that there is much wrong with the first photo, I have cropped it to a more pleasing 2:3 raito ie 6X4" or so...
I have selective sharpened bruno and tweaked the curves slightly, that was it
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd169/Scotland-visions/27thjune028.jpg

With the second one, I would try to get Bruno on completely and not cut his snout off. I have again, selective sharpened a little, altered the catchlights in his eyes and on the nose. I have left it in the 4;3 ratio otherwise I would have cut off to much of Bruno.

I hope that helped :-)

Sorry, photobucket only displays it so small, please pm me your email adress and I will send the originals ;-)

Hello Scout, that's so good it's almost believable. :cool:

Deemac

19-Jan-08, 15:48

Interesting image. (If it was me . . . . )

. . . . . Copy the reflection layer and flipped it vertically (and move up to the top of the existing water), then created a blend mask to make the new layer fade out as it goes up (bear with me). Then create another mask using the car image, reverse this selection, and cut (so you now only have a copy of the reflections over the car surface). Then change the blending mode to something like screen etc. (probably also reduce this layers transparency value).

All this would then hopefully give the impression of the water reflection light bouncing over the car body/wheels to add to the realism of the image. (Its a subtle little deatil that might "sell" the shot better.

Here's my rough stab at this (all without the use of the original image/files layers)

I can't work out how I did this photo, but I'm quite pleased with it.:cool:

Tugmistress

19-Jan-08, 20:57

It's great psyberyeti :) now you have to go back and repeat the exercise until you know how you did it then tell me ;)

Deemac

19-Jan-08, 20:59

Mmmm - As they say "the devil's in the detail".

I'm not saying my effort is a complete success (the water line needs some Z axis attention - ie the water line is completely linear and the vehicle has parts that would be more forward than others etc!!)

I also didn't have access the files various layers etc. etc.

PS: Look closely at the numbers (22) and the chrome wheels . . . . .

All I was trying to say was that the water (and the reflections in the water) would be reflected back onto the car and was trying to simulate this to make the image look more realistic. (to me it is presently very false/artificial looking)

Sorry if I've not conveyed this idea too well.

Deemac

19-Jan-08, 21:01

Psyberyeti,
Yes, very nice work. I do like the look.

Keep it up, you'll crack photoshop;)

Psyberyeti,

I'm not sure. I just keep prodding buttons until I see something I like. Hopefully, I will be able to plan what I do someday, but it seems very far off at the moment. Some times it is easier just to use Picassa (which you put me on to and for which I am very grateful). That's an excellent, simple tool when you need it just for tweaks and straightening.

I liked your idea on the reflection tweak on the car. It just takes it that bit further.:cool:

@ Psyberyeti, well spotted with the water trees :-)
@ Scout, it might look even better when you would have choosen a white background to go with it??? Clever pagecurl effect though!

Here is one I prepared earlier ;-))

I called it: "Harvest Moon" I know, I know.... I have got this moon thing going on :-)

I recently seen some doc. that said photographers were staging their photos, at a cost of well over $10,000 + its totally changed my ideas of photography.

Thats why this picture is ace, tell me how u did it?

She's saying "Where's the moon? My dad says some bar steward has stolen it".:lol:

or "What mountain"

or "It's a bit of a grey day"

or "All they way out here and I have to stand in a pile of elephant poo!"

or the dreaded "Change nappy now!!"

or..., oh I can't think of anymore, but there must be loads of captions for this photo.

Raven

Thanks for putting this up Isis. Didcot power station is a fantastic place. I used to live right next to it. It is superbe to look at - technology in the landscape and all that. I love the clouds and the wisps of steam in this photo. This is a typical Sutherland/Caithness photo - no matter which way you point your camera there is always a power line.

Isis

02-Feb-08, 00:08

I lived right next to it as well! Were you in didcot?

I lived in Sutton Courtenay to the north of the station.

I loved taking pics in this area, the power station was quite dramatic and there were monkjacks kicking about and lots of red kites.

Look at all of the stars.... and they needed a big telescope to see them...

The radio dish at Rutherford Applton lab, about 1979. I have no idea if it's still there. I used old technology for this photo, a sunny-cross filter. I still have it with my collection of disused SLR's and lenses.

Hello Isis, I lived in Didcot and could see the power station from our house.:cool:

Your software does not seem to be too bad! I t always depends what you want to do with it though...
The Rolls Royce amongst the software would be Photoshop, but this is quite expensive if you only want to play arround a bit. Maybe you could get a copy of Photoshop Elements somewhere, I think this one is cheaper... and sometimes even free.

300 was the title of a recent film about the 300 spartans who fought against the massive persian army to protect there homeland,it was that or kneel before and kiss the Persian kings butt and the Spartans definately didnt do that. .The film was shot in a moody dark sepia tone kinda way.

OK, this is a bit of a cheat. This is my photo of a product, but I did not have to make any changes to show my favourite colour. I must see if I can copy this colour onto a photo of my car... that would make it just perfect

[It is the fluorescent lime green by the way]

OK, I finally painted my car my favorite colour. It is not really very good, but I like the new colour rather than the old mud grey

Oh well, if it did that it explains why the LHC is now broken (apparantly an overheating magnetic unit caused the one sectorr to expand and push the rest of the ring out of alignment. That's why it make this last bust of energy. I think the captured photo is due a boson-black hole interaction. Next time we could all get sucked into nowhere - a bit like Birmingham New Street station.:eek:

Mystical Potato Head

12-Jan-09, 01:44

Bought the snakes one in Derby.
The Strat is a home made job.Fill a bin with water,pour a little red,black and white
oil based paint onto the surface of the water,swirl it around to mix the paint,hence the name a swirl paint job.Dip the guitar slowly into the water and the oil based paint sticks to the base coat of the guitar,which was white in this case.Wipe away excess paint to the side of the bin,pull the guitar out and dry with a hair dryer,finally give it about a gazillion coats of spray varnish.
It was this guitar that "inspired" his Swirly Strat Jam that got him 2nd place in guitar idol 2008 at London.
