Great idea! Here's one I did recently...

 

[hewee]

Great job Mike

 

[TechGuy]

Thanks. I don't do that stuff very often, but it's fun and a little relaxing to do so... as I'm sure you know!

Hey Mike

How much storage capacity does it take to store all the previous threads and photos

 

[Trooper_fan]

This is the original picture (I hope they don't mind me using it) > Magnolia

... and here is my Photoshop fiddle...

 

[hewee]

Well good to see you did something Mike. Look forwards to more from you.

Trooper_fan this is from the same Magnolia

 

[Trooper_fan]

WOW hewee that's fantastic, did you use Photoshop to do that?

 

[hewee]

I used Painter to get the Kaleidoscope tile and then used PhotoImpact to put the tiles together.

The Kaleidoscope in Painter is really cool the way it works because you can pick the tile size and then it make a layer over your image and you can then just move it around real easy to see the effects. Also you can hide the main image so you only see the Kaleidoscope layer.

Here is one I did with XenoDream to make the ball thing. The background in Bryce and the colors added to it in PhotoImpact.

See others at Webshots in the effect album in the My Picture link below.
They are 800x600 but are all over 300KB

Hewee I have Bryce but have never used it because it looks WWAAAAAYYYYYY too complicated for me... what CAN you use ot for? is it just a landscaping tool or can you make other things with it?

 

[hewee]

Well the main thing is for 3D landscaping but there are 1000's and 1000's of things you can download to add to it. So you can move indoors and have what ever.
Just play around with it. Here is a site you need to bookmark. http://www.brycetech.com/index.html
You can go tru the Tutorials there.

Thanks for the link... it's going to take some getting used to but it looks like it could be alot of fun

Here's my latest Photoshop dabble...

 

[hewee]

Very pretty one Trooper_fan.

xgerryx, good thread idea. Did you add the moon to that shot as well? If not that's an awesome lens!

Here's one I had fun with to liven up my granddaughter's fishing trip.

 

[RT]

And no backyard project would be complete without finding a skeleton to put in that closet

 

[xgerryx]

Hello RT
"Fresh Water Shark", Most vicious apparently.

Quote: "Did you add the moon to that shot as well".
The photo is made from 2 scans of photos I took a few years ago. The deer is imported and the background with the moon was taken with a 300 mm lens plus a 2 x converter.

 

[hewee]

RT is that skeleton in your back yard for real?
Tell us more about it.

 

[RT]

gerryx, yup, awesome lens! When I was shooting 35mm the longest lens I had was a 200mm with a 2x converter. I wish I still had it and that it would fit my digital camera. Wihout breaking it.
When you started this thread I knew it wasn't to be about switching heads on a family portrait. Mine are not much more than that, but you did use the terms 'composite' and 'doctoring.'

hewee, to be fair&square, 'tain't my back yard. It's the same shark fishing granddaughter(to left) with her clan making a flowerbed or an extention of the play area - I forget which.
The skeleton is real, but it doesn't belong in that photo (neither does the bottle on the deck ) it's a pic I searched for on the net to use for "doctoring" when the idea came to me. I made a composite of these two images (attached) with PhotoImpact 4.
As to whose closet the remains finally ended up in, I have no comment.
