First, I processed the image in Adobe Camera Raw to boost the contrast and boost the greens a bit (not all the way, check out the last step). During this process, I made the overall picture darker using the exposure slider. I made it darker so the light beams would be more apparent.
Second, I created the burst of light (simulated sun). To do this, I created a new soft light layer that was solid gray (solid gray shows up as nothing in soft light mode). Then, I used filter->render->lens flare to create the flare of light on the soft light layer. I used the 105mm Prime for this flare. I used a soft light layer to do this so I could (1) erase everything rendered except for the actual flare and (2) I could use the move tool to move the flare around on the page to position it in the right place.
Third, I created the beams of light. Check out this tutorial for generating beams of light using the gradient tool: www.photoradar.com/techniques/technique/add-gradient-ligh... This is a great tutorial, but I think that the effect is a bit overdone in the example (he may have done that on purpose so emphasize the effect for the tutorial). For me, trying to make something look real is an exercise in control -- remember that less is more. First, I created all of my beams on a separate layer so I could have control over them once they were rendered. To make the beams less obvious, I first used the Gaussian Blur filter to blur them out a bit. Next, I used the opacity slider to make the beams translucent and less obvious. Last, I created a layer mast and used it to erase the ends of some of the beams (to have them end in different places on the picture) and I erased the beams from in front of some of the trees (to make it look like the beams passed behind the trees in some places).
Fourth, I created the mist on the ground. First off, let me just say that I'm not completely happy with the way that the mist turned out. If anyone knows a good tutorial for creating mist, let me know. To create the mist, I Google searched for "cloud brushes", found one, downloaded it and used it as a "mist brush". Again, less is more. I dialed the opacity way back on this (party because I don't love it and partly because it looked more "real" to me).
Last, I worked on the colors. To boost the greens to the final level, I used a technique that utilizes LAB color mode to boost color. You can find an action for doing this here (second action from the top). I use this all the time (selectively). I've removed the sharpening part from the action that I use because I prefer to sharpen things at the very end of my workflow. After boosting the greens, I used a cross processing action to finish off the look and give it a bit of a different overall tone (it also added a bit of a blue cast to the beams, which I liked). Last, I sharpened a bit and added a slight vignette.
That's it. It's not perfect, but I like the processed version better than the original. Let me know if I missed anything.

This will help me or you if you ever wondered how to take the class eye out of a bratzillaz.

Details on top.
2.Heat the eye with a blowdryer. Get something like a small tiny screwdriver to pull eye out. Next enter your eyes inside the head and your done!
Hope u like it. :) hope this is handy.
Gente, vi numa revista e ameeei!
1 - pinta a cor base para a unha
2 - coloca a telinha (encontrada em qualquer loja de tecidos, armarinho etc) e passa o esmalte por cima (nao coloquei muito esmalte)
3 - tire a telinha com cuidado!
4 - o efeito, tanto visual quanto de textura, fica super legal!
Escolhi fazer um arco iris, mas tenho certeza que um metarizado com preto no fundo ficaria maravilhosoo! Vai dar um efeito de pele de cobra ou escamas de peixe! Experimentem :))
How to make coffee beads from polymer clay using real coffee beans
1. Materials and tools:
-Polymer clay is chocolate brown
-Blade or knife to polymer clay
-Needle
-Coffee bean
The photo is not submitted:
- Grinding: fine-grained sandpaper, a soft cloth
- For painting: matt lacquer for plastics, alcohol or acetone, cotton swabs
2. Roll out sausage from polymer clay (not necessarily perfect). Cut into slices, bearing in mind that each of the two and then get the grain.
3. Carefully cut a piece of mash, form an ellipsoid. Cut in half, punctures on both sides of a needle or pin. Take into account that the needle is thinner than most pins, if the assembly provides for their use, puncture, a grain is better for them.
4. Pressed natural coffee bean to the workpiece. You can change the order of 3 and 4 - first press and then puncture.
5. Serving on the medial side of the grain holding the needle two curved or straight lines parallel to each other.
6. Loosens the space between the lines held, do "breaks" - a few lines across the spent grains from various sides.
7. If the texture is lost in the process, you can squeeze a natural grain of the workpiece - half to half.
8. "Fry" received coffee seeds in the oven according to instructions - 30 min. 110-130 degrees.
9. Polishing with emery paper reverse seeds, saving them from fingerprints. Polish with a cloth.
10. Degrease by wiping with a cotton swab with alcohol or acetone. Cover matt lacquer for plastics. Done!
I wish you success!
Probably the model I have recieved the most positive feedback on. The only thing I changed on this one is the exhaust mounts. Otherwise it remains as I originally put it together.

I used the above measurements for a 2 1/2 inch ruler.. The smaller sizes would have to be done with measurements other than 1/2 inches.
I'm giving this away here.
You can also make one!
Freshly Picked has a great tutorial on making a coin purse.
However, I didn't have oilcloth on hand, so I made mine with quilting cotton, batting and a lining. These are my modifications to her tutorial. Please still refer to her instructions for basic construction technique as my pictures only show how I deviated from her tutorial.

I've had a few emails now about how I take my photos. Now, I'm not a photography expert. I mean, I'm really, really, really not a photography expert. I don't even know what apeture means, and my camera is a point-and-shoot model. The things I do know, I've learnt from reading how-to's on the 'net, and so I thought I'd share with you the number one thing that I use when I take photos:
My light box.
Those things can be expensive (you're looking at about $100-$300 dollars for a store-bought one), so I decided to make my own. Basically it's just a box that you put your object into, shine light at it, and snap away. Couldn't be easier, right? And the best thing about my light box is it costs less than $15!
This is my very first tutorial, and I hope you find it useful (and comprehensible! I worry about how readable the explanation cards are - you'll have to give me some feedback on that, since this is the first tutorial I've ever made, I'm fairly new to the process.)
