Covid apocalypse
For this week's Flickr Friday challenge, "A view from my window" I did something really different for me.
Typically I only work with photos I've taken myself, but after struggling to develop a decent concept using the windows in our condo, I decided instead to make a composite from other images, applying some of the techniques I've been recently learning in Photoshop.
In this case, the window image is from another Flickr member, Roman Scipio: flic.kr/p/bJ8S3M
Check him out.
The apocolypse scene outside is from a Google search: images.app.goo.gl/fSM3bb2NYt41kgPn7
As far as editing techniques, basic masking, composite color blending (to make the light from the scene outside blend with the window/sill), displacement map and liquefy effects for the "spray paint".
It's a pretty bleak image, which is not at all in my usual character, but I was pleased enough with the editing to submit it for the challenge.
