Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 244 - Electric Avenue

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who posted images in our 'Stoned' challenge. It is amazing what came from a few pebbles on a beach.

This week we have 'Electric Avenue', but not the Eddy Grant single from the 1980's (although you might have that in your head for the rest of the day).  Instead, we start with a piece of circuit board. When I saw it I thought of a night view of city streets from above, hence the title, but of course you may see the same or something completely different. Whatever it is - post it here.

The “rules”:

  • Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
  • 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 your skills, or bring a bit of humor 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 starter image, 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 and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

That must be for the dyed in the wool electronics enthusiast!  I'll get my coat 🙂

When a circuit board goes through Photoshop, Sampler, and Stager, it turns into an art piece. Who knew?

I like the way you have used different angles on the circuit board, Alan, very clever.

At first I wasn't sure whether it was a race car parade lap, but I looked closer and they are floats with motor-cycle outriders. I like it Leslie 🙂

Thanks, Dave, and you were right about one thing: I can't get that song out of my head!

MAX City - a clever idea. This must be for those attending electronically 🙂

Nice! The fire is good and the fire engine attempting to put it out fits very well. 🙂

Great idea! I love the subtitle. I know people who'd love to have a flying car, and not just for weekend getaways.

I like the way the bars (if they are bars) widen at the top and bottom as does their shadow. It fits well.

Nice job. A well fitted overhead view and a breaking news story to go with it. 🙂
