A little more hillbilly/rockabilly flavour to this one.
They were shot separately on grey and everything was composited in photoshop.

turned on pandora yesterday & lady in red was the first song that came on. it instantly made me think of this image. the original color of the corset was black velvet.

I rendered the tank, gizmos and environment in 3D, outputting to transparent PNG files which makes the compositing process so much easier. Marcus Ranum's model was shot against grey which meant I could use my usual blend and mask technique to bring it all together.
It took a couple of go's to get the objects and environment to match the low, wide angle perspective of the model, but I'm fairly happy with the result.
A wistful look at those of no fixed abode. Always moving on...
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

Abstract with newsprint. Photo collage of images with effects processed and created using PaintShop Pro and Picasa3.
Just for fun ... messing around with the idea of compositing images today in view of the rainy weather outside. Eggs selfie! Thanks for viewing.
The Biltmore, Asheville, North Carolina.
This is a new technique that I am trying. It produces a type of antique effect. The photo was taken with a point and shoot camera.
The caribou is a symbol of Canadian wilderness. It appears on our 25-cent piece. Sadly, the caribou is disappearing and was declared a threatened species in 2000.

A follow-up image to the 'Dreaming of Sunlight' idea I posted recently. I just wanted something that came close to a happy ending :)
I shot this background back in 2010 while down in St Mellion in Cornwall.
I have to apologize for the ropey resolution of this one. I accidentally reduced my original PSD file to Flickr size, saved it, and shut it down. No backup and I wasn't too chuffed about starting from scratch again. Hey ho!
Thank you Marcus Ranum
Something a little more soft and gentle. The model, Zinn Star, was on a grey background which once again was a big help in the compositing process that enabled me to drop her into the rendered banqueting hall scene.
Here's a before and after comparison
Apparently the full moon of May 31 is really a blue moon. However, a "blue moon" occurs when there is a second full moon in the same month, which happened in May 2007.
This picture was taken just after sunset. The full moon was out but was not directly over the city as in this image. So...I combined one shot of the full moon with a shot of the city and gave the picture an overall blue tint in PS :o)
Its a creation for a friend of mine called "Y." for a very popular racing game "Trackmania Forever", as a screenie for his new track "Paradise Lost".

Another first for me and my comps. I have always used real people in my composites, be they integrated into real backgrounds or virtual sets that are created in the computer.
I did once use a virtual tiger as my main subject. So I thought I'd give a 'virtual human' subject a go and then composite the elements together in the usual fashion and add the finishing touches like lights and bullet strikes.
A shot of Chris from the Bonneville Barons in 'good ol' boy' mode. I guess he should really have a banjo - but this is his main instrument. And yes, the chair is an authentic green plastic piece of crap from the 80's - sorry. Wanted a nice old wooden one.

Like the previous Sarah-Jane shoot this stuff is shot against a grey background and composited them into the scene incorporating various photoshop techniques to enhance contrast and the 'dodge and burn' look.

Thanks to DeviantArt for the background.
1st manipulation where all the images came from my own resources. Some are in my private collection others can be found in my stock account on DA deathbycanon-stock.deviantart.com
Who knows how it came to pass that you find yourself stuck in the middle of a field, sitting on a steamer trunk next to a rusting pickup truck!! This is like a Rorschach test. Read into it what you will :)

Found a new free editing suite online and this was my first creation using the plate in the previous image. Encouraged by my previous abstract images in albums I was browsing the other day.

I have not attempted any image manipulations for nearly a month. I thought it was time to get back to it!

I have to say - if wizards were really this awesome, I would have paid more attention to the Harry Potter movies :)
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,
and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/
I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
I usually wait a while before a revisit to an image - but this one needed some attention straight away. I've made more of the light falling on his arm and behind him and now it 'feels' better.
Apologies to those who viewed and commented on the previous version.
Strobist:
x1 Einstein640 at head height to camera left as key.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera right as fill.

For those of you on my side of the pond - I've been watching 'Ripper Street' on BBC. I had this image of a grimy backstreet with a young lady looking out of place in it. The deeply delicious Susan Coffey came to my rescue again... :)
If anyone knows what that evil looking device she's holding is - let me know. I suspect Jack the Ripper would think twice about tangling with anyone wielding that!
The lovely Susan Coffey has very kindly contacted me and asked if it was ok to post my comp on her DeviantArt page (like I would refuse lol!). Lots of great comments. A few comments query the weapon, thinking it looks out of place. Well, thinking about it, perhaps Jack the Ripper was actually 'Jill' :)

Just your typical day in the zombie-infested abandoned city with your favourite alien sidekick nearby, providing heavy-weapons support for the more… persistent walking dead :)
Thank you once again Tigersgirl for the cool image.
A follow up image to my 'Walking with monsters' comp I did a little while back. Our heroine makes her way through abandoned buildings, felling any threat that gets in her way.
Thank you Kayla Tigersgirl
With the wind howling outside and the rain pouring down at the moment, it seemed right to reflect on the onset of Autumn. Unfortunately, here in the UK, our Autumns are generally wet, miserable and windy. As soon as the leaves turn a lovely red/brown on the trees, the storms arrive and bingo! - all the leaves are on the ground.
Thank you Jessica at Faestock
A distraught wife waits at the docks for news, from returning ships, of a husband missing at sea.
With a medieval dock and warship models to play with as 3D models - I combined one of Jessica's lovely poses with this DS6 rendered scene and added sky, sea and birds.
This one, with the subject's strong lighting, has a nice painterly feel somehow. A current fave :)
