And now, for something completely different... inspired by an article in a Photoshop magazine I was flipping through at Chapters today... which gave me an excuse to go back and play around with an old image of Lisa.

Let me know whatcha think.

Kinda... out there, eh? lol

I'm a day later than I meant to be on this, I've just had a busy few days.

But, I do have a photo to share. I took this photo from our back balcony a few days ago.

Actually, the photo is the result of 3 individual photos taken in rapid succession, one at a set exposure, one a stop under-exposed, and one a stop over-exposed.

I then went to town on some selective enhancements in Photoshop...

I stacked the 3 images in seperate layers and selectively masked out certain parts of each layer.

I did some selective curves adjustments, some selective sharpening and softening, some selective Shadow/Highlight adjustments.

A touch of Nik Sunshine filter was added, and a bit of "Painting with Light" , and the result is as you see here. The final image is made up of 13 layers in Photoshop >_< )

As always, click the pic to see a larger view, and comment/critiques are welcome.

My Photo of the Week entry this week is a response to Chica's Photo Projectz challenge... to put together a collection of my photos representing all the letters of the alphabet.

I decided to use all existing photos I have on my hard drive / backups ... if only to give me a good excuse to look back through older photos.

I'm not sure I chose the best method to create a slideshow (I used Photo Story 3) ... but it worked anyways. It only outputs in wmv format (Windows Media) ... so if you can't view that file type let me know and I'll try to convert the file somehow.

Anyhoo... without further ado... here it is... save this file and play away (right click the link, save as...

I uploaded the video to Youtube... hopefully those who can't watch the link above, can see this video. The quality of it is horrible, but better than nothing...
