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.
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
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!
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.

x1 Einstein640 boomed high just off centre right for main fill.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
Thanks to DeviantArt for the background.
Funny thing. I was looking back through my very first attempts at composites posted just over a year ago and compared them to the stuff I'm doing now. It struck me that the techniques I use have changed slightly over the past 12 months and therefore wondered how those early creations would look if I attempted them using the methods I employ now.
Well, here we go. The image above is a revisit of the very first composite I did back in June 2012. The main difference apart from the general styling is the background. I hadn't discovered Daz Studio back then and got the background from DeviantArt. I didn't know it at the time, but it was actually done in Daz Studio anyway. My rendering has more detail and a slightly different room design.
I don't think it's necessarily better... Just different.
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".

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.

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.

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 :)
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.

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

I have to say - if wizards were really this awesome, I would have paid more attention to the Harry Potter movies :)

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 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 :)

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.

A futuristic, slightly dystopian image. A lone woman reflects on her life at the top of the tallest tower in the city she calls home.
Joel 1 :15
"Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
Those who practice witchcrafts , sorcery , Satanism , child murder sacrifice / evil blood sacrifice, astral projection etc. are pure abominations / great rebellion against the God most High. Days are coming to a close when your evil has to stop, putting destruction,
glamour and honour of dark arts , that you'll be judge unto darkness forever and ever
of torment and hopelessness , when there is no coming out of it ! The most terrible
day of the God is coming . This is a call
unto repentance and turning back away from those wicked ways . While you are
breathing and alive , there is still chance of turning back. Once God take
your life away, on moments you aren't expecting of it, that will be it for you,
sealed unto eternal damnation . Don't believe the lie of darkness, as there
isn't coming out of it once you're judge unto death !
(Deuteronomy 28:45)
Revelation 21:8
"But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those
who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars--their fate is in the
fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Meanwhile this is on the way....
1 Thessalonians 5:3
"While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction
will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman
with child, and they will not escape."
By seeing many events taking place, and the world obviously against Israel together with the great advocacy to crash Israel, divide God's covenant land ( Daniel 9) , we know this is the timeline. Then we see Syria ravaged , whilst the Isaiah 19 speak of the total destruction of Damascus , then this should be on the way , distress of nations ( Matthew 24 ) , plagues , people's mindset just like the days of Noah , don't need to elaborate this further, just looks around --- these are all Biblical prophecies in our face. Praise God, I have woken up in 2011 and back in the Lord .
Praise Jesus !
Apart from photography, this is also for the purpose
to wake up people and listen to God's voice in your hearts.
2 Peter 3 :9
"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count
slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should
perish but that all should come to repentance."
Romans 8:1
"There is therefore now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit. "
Make sure you are saved my friends, if not --
the Lord is calling for you to open your hearts
for Him .
===================================================
Be hardcore believer brothers and sisters in Christ.
Don't just sit there and get attacked ! Get a lethal defensive by the
blood of Jesus !
This is brilliant message of spiritual warfare if you believe in the power of
Christ ! Make it manifest and make your faith grow , not as oppressed
believer . Chain Emails is subtle witchcraft etc. Return curses , spells back
to the sender who aims to destroy you 7 to a thousand /millions times lethal by the
power of Jesus name. Learn to exercise your authority in Jesus name !

OK,

That was the easy part of the equation.
The harder part of the equation is to elicit an emotional response, to ask you to exit your comfort zone.
Less Is More..!
* The idea behind this image is to expose less information, to allow the imagination to fill in the empty space; the dark spaces on the screen..
* The object of utilizing Negative Space is to reveal a striking visual, using minimal information, but to do it in a way that asks the mind of the viewer to participate in the illusion; to create it's own dream about the information in the image.. Negative Space can help accomplish the task..
* Don't tell the entire story, let the viewer tell their own story about what they see, through the interface of their emotions...
* Let the viewer conjure their own emotions, instead of requiring the viewer to feel something specific..
* Ambiguity with a hint of Specificity in Juxtaposition.
* Let the viewer feel something for themselves, rather than dictating which emotions the viewer should experience..
* Stimulate reaction, but don't dictate the emotion.
* Keep it simple, and let the experience of simplicity be strong.
Art is a stain upon the mind... Let that stain be memorable, emotional and vibrant..
Give the participant something to feel...
