Photoshop (Mis)Adventures
At last! My folio of images has been safely deposited into the University electronic “Drop Box”. Time to catch my breath.
This subject has been one of slooooow absorption. Anyone that has tasted Photoshop will understand.
Our task was to build 3 composite images, either on Decay or Scale. Each one made up of 3 source images. As I’d tackled Decay previously, I thought Scale would provide some levity. It did, along with buckets of frustration. And that was without the 20 page accompanying written report, complete with screen grabs to prove we actually did the work ourselves.
Jez was the (un)willing model for some of the source images. Tying them all together was the tricky bit. Anyway, this is where I’ve been for most of the week…
COMPOSITE IMAGE ONE - “Indy’s Footsteps”
Source Images
COMPOSITE IMAGE TWO “I Believe”
That’s a book on Dragons Jez is reading. Make the connection?

COMPOSITE IMAGE THREE - ” Ready for Takeoff”

I’m looking forward to getting some real sleep tonight. Another exciting day tomorrow as one of my uni lecturers has invited me to share her Studio, which is shared by 3 other prominent artists. Bugger, I bet the excitment keeps me awake!

a belated happy new year to you, my friend! e.
That sounds like an interesting project. I bet you’ll have fun exploring it when the tasks are over and you have free time. I loved the one of Jez and the dragon. Well done. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sleep well.
Thanks Diane,
I have had more than enough screen time for a looong time. Both of my eyelids have developed some sort of tic, probably complaining that they haven’t shut for a while!
Yes it’s quite an honour to be asked to join a real working studio, but I don’t think I can for a while, well at least not until semester finishes. Inspiration does love company though!
Cindy,
I love what you are doing with Photoshop…as mentioned previously is on my wish list.
I have an order for this afternoon and if you get back to my blog could you have a look at the two photos for reproduction and postcards?
I guess the last thing you need is more thinking. I like the dragon and Jez…Am a bit of a fantasy nut….
Cheers,
Elizabeth
Hi Cindy, long time no see. Great images - very realistic, they don’t look superimposed at all.
Ohhh I’m jealous……..you have both the time and ability to pursue your fave things……LOVE the Indy footsteps.
Just had a super long weekend away…..didnt feel the need to pull much hair out….the kidlets were suitably worn out each day….
We have been having some fantastic breakthroughs with James lately (your spell no doubt) he is trying (and continues) to eat our food (its only been 5.5years since he did this - when the Autism first showed its head)…. he has also made it through a swimming class (with lots of splashing kids - he has been having his lessons alone til now)…
Holidays are almost over, then the builders arrive…boo (but I am looking forward to a nice new bathroom!
Cheers!
Hey Guys, good to see you here.
It was fun taking all the photos for the final images…the hours of neck/eye/back strain at the keyboard not so much so. Still, I hope to cut down on all the time wasted on mistakes as I learn.
Elizabeth, great to hear about your work being sold in print - you have a wonderful eye for images. Would love to see your postcard collection. I’ve bought postacrds from local photographers/artists from the Post Office ( a lot Photoshopped from local images of wildlife). Aus Post seems to be a great promoter.
Tim, I don’t know about “realistic”, but thanks. I used the term “suspension of reality” and “hyper realism” in my wolly of a report. Must get over to your blog to check out all your adventures.
Kim, That sounds great about James, don’t know if I can take any credit! A new bathroom! Lucky chook you are. I was just lamenting my lack of a bath tub in this house - I am well over due for a good soak with a glass of bubbly, good book, candles, and a closed door!
