How To Create Images Like This
======================================
I do love confusing people with photos, its fun xD
======================================
If anyones at all interested, heres my lovely image analysis for my A-levels, describing how I did it in detail and shizz
======================================
For this image, my main aim was to create the strongest lead through line effect as possible, something which Peter Keetman (the artist Im studying) continuously did throughout his images.
To make the image ‘my own’ I wanted to create a large sense of surrealism and almost disorientation.
To create this image, to start off with I set my lens to 18mm to exaggerate the perspective of the building as much as possible, helping make things in the distance look further away, and placing the end of the line of shops right in the middle of the image, helping out with the lead through line.
I also opted to use a very deep depth of field in order to not lose any detail in any of the shops.
======================================
Then in Photoshop:
-Using a mixture of the tools in Camera RAW and gradient maps, I adjusted the colours to suit my preferences, upping the vibrancy and turning down the saturation helped bring out the greens in the image, I also upped the exposure and gave the blacks/contrast a boost.
-I also saw the image as too ‘cold,’ so I turned up the white balance, giving a much more warm feeling.
-To sharpen the image without creating colour artefacts, I changed the image mode to lab colour, as opposed to RBG, then turned off the A+B channels, and applied a small radius, large amount, unsharp mask.
-I then selectively dodged and burned areas of the image to bring out the details I wanted, and lose the ones I didn't.
-I then applied a very small noise reduction just to remove any unwanted grain.
-Using the patch, clone, heal and content aware fill tools I selectively removed every person out of the image as I saw them as unwanted distractions from the subject and patterns.
-To create the whole pattern itself, first I cropped the top and bottom third of the image off.
-I then selected the right half of the photograph, duplicated it into a new layer and flipped it horizontally and placed it at the left hand side and flattened the layers.
-Then I selected the top half of the image, duplicated it, flipped it vertically and placed it at the bottom of the image.
-To blend both the horizontal and vertical ‘reflections’ I used a mask and filled it with a short black to white gradient, fading the line between the layers.
-To finalise the image, creating as much disorientation as I could, I rotated it 90 degrees, making the sides of the building appear to be the path.
Personally I believe this photo tuned out exactly how I wanted it, it is full of patterns, has a multitude of lead in lines, and appears to very disorientating.

There's some sadness I feel when I see the elderly struggle with their daily difficulties ... even a casual walk can be a challenge ... but there's also some comfort when I see these folks surrounded by friends and connections ... that offer support and companionship and helping hands ...
Kaum zu glauben, aber..."Helping hands", eine gemeinnützige Organisation in den USA bildet Affen zu Haushaltshilfen aus, die Menschen mit Behinderung das Alltagsleben erleichtern sollen. Die Trainer bringen ihnen einfache Begriffe, wie "bring", "öffne" oder "kratz" bei. Auch lernen die Affen die Funktionsweise von Lichtschaltern, Schubladen und CD-Playern.
Aber mit rund 40.000 US-Dollar ist die Ausbildung eines Affen zur Haushaltskraft ziemlich teuer

manually pollinate the coffee flowers to select best characteristics to be propagated. The texture of hands' skin is simply amazing. Since centuries mankind propagate positive genetic characteristics using the same process.
This week the clock face of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) had a cleaning. It's last cleaning was 4 years ago. I would imagine this is a job of a lifetime.

This rather tall but barren tree was all that remained from a clear cut. Despite this devastation, new life seemed to spring from one of its now-barren branches. The background fog allowed the new growth to be seen.
Found near the Hoh River Rainforest of Olympic National Park.
A self portrait of how I feel lately. I figure I'd take a stab at making self portraits every day. I think of it as a visual representation of a journal entry. 1/365.
Tunstead shunter ties on to 6M94 to shove in clear so I can run round. Due to unforseen circumstances no 4 road (the only one long enough for 20 HKA) was occupied. seen here on no9 road it's only just foul.
60002 drags a broken 60001 and its train into the loop at Elford on Tuesday 19th April 2016.
60001 Had failed at Branston Jn on the mainline whilst working 6M57 07.15 Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Siding. 60002 was summoned from Toton to rescue and the ensemble is seen running over 4 hours late!
This is an ongoing photo project of a very fascinating part of Ohio. Holmes County has the largest concentration of Amish in the country. With over 220 Church districts, the Amish population continues to double nearly every 25 years.
