Something for the Weekend - Part 254 - Tarff!

There were some great ideas posted in our previous '180' darts challenge. Thanks to all who took the time to participate.

This week we are off to Loch Tarff in the highlands of Scotland. The loch is close to Loch Ness on the south-east side. It's name Tarff  translates as bad-tempered or, when referring to weather, as severe or intense. There are some sources though, that suggest the word Tarff used here is a transliteration of the Gaelic word Tarbh which means bull. Tarbh-uisge were mythological creatures said to inhabit moorland lochs.  If those descriptions don't give you a starting point for creating and image in this week's challenge then what will?

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”.
  • The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
  • 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!
