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.

Been building this chap lately, first time making a jeep, and I quite like it! Took inspiration from many builders, mainly Carpet Lego.
Black and white filter, because some colours in it just don't look well together xD
Soon, I will modify it into later Willys CJ I think. I also have a pick-up truck built, so stay tuned for next upload sooner than, like 3 months!

Morning songbird sing away,
Learn the tune to another day.
Bring your wings and choose a groove,
Sing a song of love and truth.
We’ll soon remember if you do,
When all things were tall,
And our friends were small,
And the world was new.

Now here's a story. I recently took my 20 year old Mercedes E Class for it's annual service and MOT and as I drove away from the house the car's acceleration felt odd. The garage who service the car said they couldn't find the cause of the problem as 'the car is too old for our diagnostic gear'!!! They recommended that I took the car to AF Tuning. When I arrived I found a garage that looked very 1960s but it had other Mercedes, Porsches and even an E Type in for attention. AT Tuning fixed the problem and allowed me to photograph the place at the same time. Amongst all the repair gear were computers being used to diagnose faults. They are able to tackle all sorts of models and problems. I recommend them.

Hi friends! Welcome to my new mini series! I've been working with the awesome and talented Alex Zyuzikov to create and design a fun comic series that will hopefully bring something new to Flickr and all our contacts! It's been a fun challenge since I live in Arizona and Alex is in California. It's also been a way for us to stretch our imagination and use our talents in an unusual way! I really hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!
Don't forget to add me or Alex as a contact so you can follow along!

I'm told it's a rare early 1990's black Epiphone Broadway.
