I've Scrunched the original image on a whim.. and as usual, once in Photoshop, ideas for treatments and enhancements to the 'Relic' effect of this one-time homeplace.
I've passed it time after time.. well. 'after time' means more in this case, don't it?
Finally.. with an hour to 'execute', I pulled in right next to the 'No Trespassing' sign .. ;-)
turned on it's ears, so to speak, this double-blossom calla translates graphically well into black and white, with careful conversion techniques.
Now, of course, I can't remember just how I did that, but since the original color was a pale green, then whatever technique adds contrast to that color or color channel should help.
If I still had the blossoms, I'd probably have framed this not so tight, but I didn't have this particular image in mind when I shot it.
Advice to "shoot tight", "get closer" is best augmented, especially considering digital media and zoom lenses, by at least a frame or two shot a little looser, too, eh?
Some more mucking about with Daz 3D backrounds as the basis of another composite with Yann the man and his trusty slap bass.
This was originally meant to be a bar interior background. Every time I try to render it out - it crashes my Mac. Meh!
Yann is shot against a neutral grey backdrop. The rest is added in photoshop.

Jim Rhodes was sick and tired of playing nursemaid to Tony Stark's sorry, drunken ass. Did the Man think he was the only one to come out of the 'Nam with nightmares? Rhodey had been there too..and you didn't see him crawling inside a bottle everytime some little thing went wrong. Goddamn hard to be a bodyguard when the boss was his own worst enemy!
"Invincible Iron Man"! What a load of bookoo bull.
He'd just about had it up to his armour plated butt playing corporate flunky; a flying Mr Fix-it kitted out in Stark's admittedly hardcore War Machine armour....
Here he was jetting his way across the damned ocean on his way to smooth over Stark's latest drunken blunder. For Christ's sake, while wearing the Iron Man armour he'd crashed into a Goddamned civilian airliner! Splashed it too!
What the hell Tony!?
Sure, boozehound or not, he'd still been enough of a hero to use his repulsors to cushion the fall of the wreckage..land most of it on a nearby island...so at least there were survivours. Then he'd wobbled off into the skies. Talk about hit and bloody run.
Later, he sent Rhodey back to 'Deal with it.'
Just how was he supposed to do that anyway? Stark had already made the problem 'go away' at the corporate level. He'd shovelled a shithook load of money onto the weird little private foundation that turned out owned the island.
Why send Rhodey at all then? Tony had muttered something about, "Insurance" and sent him off without so much as a by-your-bloody-leave.
Helluva thing.
He just knew none of his other ol' 'Nam buddies put up with this kinda crap. Betcha damn ass they were all pulling in big money flying commercial heavies themselves; none of this covert para-military shit for them, no sir!
Christ. With his luck maybe one of them had been piloting the bloody Oceanic plane...wouldn't that be a kicker!
Easy Jim.
Coincidences that big just don't happen.
As the clouds slid by Rhodey thought about his 'Nam bros.
A-Number One pilots all. Austin, MacReady, O'Niell, Colonel Blackhawk...even that Looney Toons madman Murdoch and his tech Sgt. with the Bad Attitude, Bosco Baracus. (Awesome mechanic!)
Hell, they'd never believe what old Rhodey was up to nowadays....
Shoot, all Rhodey wanted to do, all he'd ever wanted to do really, was fly.
Leastways he could still do that.
-----------------------------------------------
I could easily have called this one "Rhodey's Ramble!" or indeed, "All Rhodes Lead To Chrome".
I promised myself I'd do a flying pic with an Iron Man figure and after doing the night shoot with Galactus I wanted to do something daytime outdoors. It was time to show the impact that "Irony Man's" drinking was having upon his friends, and I'd only just got the War Machine Marvel Legends figure so 'figured' the mojo was right...
In the Iron Man saga, the long suffering James "Jim" Rupert Rhodes was a U.S chopper pilot in Vietnam who helped rescue Tony Stark from the jungle after the latter had his 'Origin'. After the war, Tony hired Rhodey as his pilot and bodyguard. At one stage Rhodey started wearing Stark's War Machine combat-optimised armour, which led to Rhodey's character getting his own spin-off book...
Rather than photoshop the figure against a skyscape, I just took Rhodey outside, placed him on a piece of wire (later digitally removed) and took shot after shot until I got the right angle on the light and the right cloud and sky combo in the background.
Oh, I'm afraid I had to use that silly arse socket that's built into the figure for its flight stand to fit into. Sorry Rhodey!
The thruster burn and camera flares (all six of 'em!) are all photoshopped, and I've also done a little work around Rhodey's eyes to highlight them more.
Funny, the sky started out socked in with grey clouds, not particularly good flying weather! I was actually okay with that, it suited Rhodey's bitter mood and the text. Then, the sun came out and sang to me and War Machine looked so damn fine in the light that I went for the Knight In Shining Armour look instead.
Turned out 'ol Sol knew what I wanted better than I did. The soaring lightness is a wicked contrast to the text and underlines Rhodey's hellwithit, least I'm flyin' summation. Now that's Irony, Man!

Another big thank you to Tigersgirl for our gun-toting heroine.
What do you do when a big, ugly super-zombie is charging at you in a flurry of fangs and claws? Well, our heroine keeps her cool, stares the bad guy down and prepares to fire one killer head-shot.

A fairly simple layering of the same eye picture I've used before, laid over another hand configuration from the same session. I had shot a few variations, keeping the lighting in mind for final combinations. I processed both images separately in Adobe LightRoom 2.2, including black and white conversion. The develop module of LR now allows opening two or more images as layers in the same image in Photoshop CS4, in one fell swoop. They're really getting this "workflow" thing crankin'.

Shot was actually taken during the day and was turned to night with stars and auroras.
An emotional gift for my parents; printed as an alu fine art.
The creation is called: 'Reborn in a new world'.
Our lovely Golden retriever died some time ago; he meant the world to my parents (and my brother and me as well). Barry is now reborn in a new world, a wonderful new place...
Nothing techniqual spectacular, but I hope you like it as well (my parents were over the moon with this gift).
Created with extra passion. ♥

This was a very low resolution, sub mega-pixel photo of a real, but beyond blah sunset. I used either a free, or a very inexpensive photo/art program and tried to learn how to make it "artsy."
Kodak® used my picture as one of the squares on their Millennium Quilt.

Since I received a lot of emails asking me how I post processed this image, and frankly speaking, I don't know exactly how I did it back then (LOL), so I tried to recreate the effect on this current picture.
First of all, I created this HDR from a single .NEF (RAW) file using Photomatix.
I can't tell exactly what to do there, because my post-processings are always intuitive, and the tone mapping behavior changes from picture to picture.
Then, I opened the toned mapped image on Photoshop and applied a vintage action that Anna Theodora sent me a couple years back. But the action itself does not achieved my goal, so I worked with a different color balance, luminance, dodge and burn tool mainly to supress the super saturated effect achieved by the using of Photomatix, and to reduce the halos and colour aberrations that emerge with the Tone Mapping. Occasionally I play with levels and curves as well, cause Photomatix seems to underexpose the result in some pictures.
This one came about as I wanted a complete colour opposite of the image 'waiting for sunset'. From very warm to very cool tones.

Der Ponte Vecchio (ital. für Alte Brücke) ist die älteste Brücke über den Arno in der italienischen Stadt Florenz. Das Bauwerk gilt als eine der ältesten Segmentbogenbrücken der Welt.
Schon zu etruskischer Zeit existierte hier ein Flussübergang. Nachdem 1333 ein Hochwasser eine an derselben Stelle stehende Holzbrücke zerstört hatte, wurde in zwölfjähriger Bauzeit die heutige Brücke aus Stein errichtet. (Wikipedia)

And as she sits there alone,
frozen in time, in love and life.
The hunger for warmth is there,
but is it within reach?
Can she reach for it,
Or will her heart be forever cold?

Better Red than Ned?
Strewth!
Well now, this costume was inspired by all kinds of things!
1) I've always wanted to make a brightly coloured Manga type power-armour costume.
Why? Uh....yeah...right.
2) As an Aussie armourer I've always been fascinated by Oz's own metal clad bushranger bandit, Ned Kelly. Me, and just about everyone else in our sunburnt country. The Kelly Gang has a lot of mythology attached to it, and, rather like Arthur, Robin Hood and similar iconistic subjects, continues to inspire new interpretations. Some folks take the subject quite personally; fair enough I reckon. Me, I'll settle for just having fun with it!
3) I'm a fan of Keith Laumer's "Bolo" series of science fiction novels, which revolve around futuristic, gargantuan sentient tanks. I got to wondering what kind of infantry (if any!) Bolos might operate in tandem with. So, I thought it might be possible that they could perhaps carry and deploy auxiliary armoured troopers who could, for example, go into places that a Bolo tank just wouldn't fit without breaking things and causing tears all round.
Yer, there's also a Heinleinesque Mobile Infantry "Starship Trooper" 'fluence in the mix. Perhaps especially in the fact that this costume is so cumbersome that any damned ape could walk up behind me and dong me on the head with a rock whilst I was mucking around deciding which bit of hi-tech frightfulness to use on him.
4) The kind of cossie I had in mind would have lots of potential for space-dominating wings, ridiculous weapons and other foolish but beaut looking clobber.
5) I'm also a fan of Bert Chandler's S.F book, "Kelly Country", which postulates an alternate history where Kelly won the Battle Of Glenrowan and went on to found an Australian Republic! An amusingly clever conceit. Perhaps the Aussie Republican Army would eventually develop something like this armour...
'N razorbacks might fly.
Then again, this is Sci-Fi, anything's possible.
6) I'm a mad keen Iron Man fan, the comic book character that is, which helped decide me on the colour, partly.
So, anyway, this was the Mark I Red Kelly costume I built. "Red" Kelly, incidentally, was Ned's old Dad. Seemed appropriate given the colour I chose, which was
also dictated by the colour of the ski-boots that I converted for the costume.
The bulk of the costume is made from corflute, a double walled cardboard like plastic. They make advertising signs, point of sale displays and retail dump boxes from it. Also, art folios! I started out using salvaged signs, then began buying new sheets of it from art shops, the 'clean' corflute being much easier to paint.
The helmet though, was made from sheet aluminium.
Original costume photo by Adrian Maiolla. All other elements taken or created by me.
Actually, it's worth going into the latter.
The grey concrete 'deck' is an exterior wall of the National Gallery Of Victoria. The three octagonal structures come from the interior of the dome in Melbourne's Block Arcade. The solar panel arrays are from the light standards found along Melbourne's Merri Creek parklands. The structure in the background was just a City building under construction.
There ya go mateys, it pays to be a shutterbug, you never know what will come in handy!

This image is related to a composite I did a while ago called Mud on my dress, blood on my hands. This kinda feels like it came from the same alternate 1930's reality.
I have no idea what's going on. Much like the other composite, it evolved from a simple gangster style image into something way beyond that.
All the elements, apart from Sarah-Jane, were created in Daz Studio and output as tranparent PNG's so I could layer and position them in photoshop.

By all appearances this old man (perhaps not as old as he looks) has end-stage liver disease, maybe from viral hepatitis, alcohol, or (most likely) both. In the US he's not eligible for welfare and can't afford insurance. It is unlikely that he is employable. The road ahead is likely a short one. Still, those eyes look like they have travelled far and seen much, perhaps too much, already.
This is based on a stunning photo by Leroy Allen Skalstad which I downloaded from from Stockvault under a license that specifies I cannot transfer the license or use the image in a commercial project. The findings of liver disease are simulated and the little story is made up

Boston's Freedom Trail has many costumed guides, representing known persons of lesser historical prominence, to lead groups through some of the city's sites significant to the Revolutionary War. Here "Jean Gordon", a former slave who bought herself and is now free, talks to tourists about the many patriots in the Old Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street. Gordon, a tavern wench at a pub frequented by Tories, taught herself to read and write, and then passed notes on her tavern intelligences to her neighbor Paul Revere, who is now buried in the Granary yard behind her.
