More random crap. One is one of the datacenter rows of stuff that I work on. The other was a couple of nights ago in my back yard.

Thanks Aaron. The crescent moon was harder to shoot than I thought it would be, but the tripod helped.

8) Cool backround effect on the Mustang!

 

[evangilder]

That isn't effect, that is a pan shot. He was moving at about 300 MPH, I shot that at 1/100th of a second. Not an easy shot to catch.

Several awesome shots Eric, love the P-51..

 

[Geedee]

Thanks guys. Been working on posters today. They seem to be my hot seller right now, so I put 15 more designs together and got them over to my store. Here are a few examples of what I have so far. Anyone have something they think would be a good seller?

Love that Stearman shot and the 'Stangs a classic !.

As no-one has added any yet, I'll throw a few in for consideration if thats ok ?

Edited...shots removed...

 

[evangilder]

Those are nice, Gary, but this thread is kinda for me to show my shots. Feel free to create a Geedee's shots thread though.

 

[Geedee]

Ooooops, sorry, thought that was an invite.

Embarrassing shots removed to be placed on a seperate thread.....shuffles slowly out of the room in reverse, cringing at dropping a clanger !

 

[evangilder]

No worries, Gary.

A little Photoshop fun...

It does show that using photoshop can make an image appear as if it is drawn. I have done some drawings as well, but unfortunately don't have the time to devote to that anymore. So I do the next best thing, Photoshop. But I will never misrepresent my photoshopped work as original drawings.

Nice stuff Eric. I really like the filters you can use in Photoshop - especially the fine art ones.

The dark patch across the top of the Mustang I don't really like but it still looks good.

 

[evangilder]

Yeah, I wasn't crazy about it either, but it kind of make a border. The color version looks better.

 

[Gnomey]

Yeah, it does. Wonder where the patch comes from because I can't see what would be causing it on the colour version.

 

[evangilder]

Sometimes you get strange artifacts in the filters. I'm not sure why.

 

[Gnomey]

True, perhaps doing the filter separately for both the Mustang/background and the sky would fix the problem?

 

[evangilder]

Probably. I was just messing around with it. I don't think anyone would be looking to get that, except maybe the pilot or the aircraft owner.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Cool shots and work Eric. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed!

Hey Gnomie, the dark patch in the B&W is caused by the filter's "rounding to the nearest shade". I encounter alot that when I'm doing skins for IL-2 and have to reduce the finished skin to a 256 color BMP from a 16 million color PSD. It happens most often when there's a gradient present, especially a sharp contrast...it just pixelates the heck out of it.

Great stuff, Eric...I like the different effects on the pilot!
