Hi

Thanks to all who took part in our piggy bank challenge. There were some great ideas and images.

 

For this week, I've set a scene for you. 'Twas a dark and misty night in old London town....... but what happened next?

 

The “rules”:

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

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the image below at full size, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun

 

Dave

Hah!  I spent several seconds staring at the manhole cover on the lower right third waiting for Cumil.  I was thinking this is a frame animation, but that's one heck of a delay on frame one.  (I don't see so well first thing in the morning. )  Having seen it in my head, I had to do it.

It is such a beautiful image, I had to place it on the wall of the foyer.

Careful that the mist doesn't leave damp on the wall 🙂

Quick, blow the health and safety whistle before someone comes along and starts a game of whack-a-mole!

Hi JEL and welcome to SFTW.

I do like the illustrative effect on your image. It reminds me of a Christmas card.

I feel like I'd like to see the moon in the background to fit with the atmosphere Dean.  Steve Caplin has a good night for day tutorial that this reminded me of.  I can't find it now, but he has a different on on YouTube    Oh dear.  Steve has some excellent tutorials and I can hardly find any of them now.  Not even on LinkedIn Learning.  Does't anyone know where he lives nowadays?  I'll try his Cheating at Photoshop site, but I don't remember that having a lot videos.

I found Steve's 2 Minute Photoshop YouTube channel

I'll have a look at Nigh-Day video and will look at the moon for my image.
