Hi

It's a rainy day at this mill and the doors are tightly shut. Can you open the doors and show us what is happening inside, or even cut away the whole wall and give us a perfect view of the interior?

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes - just the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun.

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below without the forum scaling artifacts, right click and then use Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

Too bad I never have time to contribute to these - this last one was fun to watch!

But let's face it, the general ambition level has gone up by now, to the point where you really need to invest a few hours...

I know what you mean, we'll soon have full motion graphics from the After Effects experts. That said, I hope we don't put beginners off from joining in. All are welcome.

The new challenge (SFTW part 15) is up now and should be suitable for everyone from complete newbie to Photoshop guru !

Also - anyone is welcome to set a challenge. I tend to put these these if no-one else comes forward - but if you have an image for a future week - just let me know.

stays with the time theme... this steampunk gauge keeps good time

I'll throw my ring into the hat. (Did somebody say make the wheel move?)

Thanks for the fun image and concept Dave.

Outstanding Pete, and really quite funny.

This is not a full on job as I left out the blades, and I really must get to grips with Illustrator, as I had to think about how to do the wheel face. Only nine frames because of the eight spokes — it would have been a mission to do otherwise.

Nice Trevor . Mind you I think the idea was to open the doors, not brick them up !

I'm glad to see some images flying in now. I was worried about this one when we got off to a slow start at the weekend. Keep them coming.

If anyone has an image for this coming weekend let me know. If not I'll dig out another one.

??? Is this some sort of state housing reference? The building is not all it purports to be? It reminds me of the Beatles movie Help, where they arrive at a row of terraced houses, and each go into their own door, but on the other side is a different story

I used to want a Tesla - until I started to look at them more closely. The thing is, manufacturing tolerances seem to be all over the map. The body parts simply don't match up. I made this illustration up, but this is a very common sight, and I've seen much worse than this. Just look for it:

This is something you never ever see in a European or Japanese car. Yes, it does 0-100 km/h in less than 5 seconds, but my VW Golf GTE hybrid does it in 7 and is properly built.

The Tesla I saw had a listed 0-100kmh time of 2.5 seconds Dag which is astounding. If that is the quality of build, then it has a long way to go - but it does bode well for the future excitement of electric cars.

Back to the SFTW thread. The wheel is a 3D model - the hamster isn't ........

Very nice, Trevor and Dave! Those doors didn't stay closed long, did they?

One of my friends is on her second Tesla, so I get to ride in it when we go someplace.

I am reading a book about Nikola Tesla right now.

Haha - Nice one Trevor - very clever idea and nicely put together. Does it need a reflection in the mill pond though ?

As an aside , I saw one on those Tesla cars a couple of weeks ago and looked up the details when I got home. Those things will out accelerate a Ferrari - silently !

Hey, you are right about the reflection, but it's 12.40 and I'm done for today.

I saw a mass line up of Tesla vs a bunch of supercars a while back.

Here you go. I'd have bet seriously money against this happening. Unbelievable against this line up

Bugger it. Sleep is overrated — if fixed the reflection and will swap out the picture
