Question

Something for the weekend - Part 93 - What goes around.....

Hi

There were some fantastic entries in last week's subway challenge. This week we have something completely different.

 

Those who have been taking part in the challenges for a while will know that sometimes we start with a scene and sometimes with an object. This week it is the latter and we have a wheel and tyre, or actually three views of a wheel and tyre just to give you some choice in the angles.

What will you do with this object? Will you put the wheel(s) on a suitable vehicle or will you use it to make something else entirely?

 

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.
  • 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!

To download the image below in jpeg format at 3000 x 2000 pixels and with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), 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

I've eaten the apples, unwound the bowl, and put the chain back on the bicycle.

Great job with the chain Jane. Did you mask it or create a new chain?

Thanks, Dave! I drew the shapes in Illustrator, created a pattern brush, drew paths with the Pen tool, applied the brush, then brought it back to Photoshop and masked out the ends. The writing was done in Photoshop.

I'm told I get carried away with things. Personally, I don't see it. Anyway, the wheels ARE in there (honestly, they are!!). Hope you enjoy, and thanks again for doing this Dave.

Dave, I'm trying to figure out how the wheel got separated?

As others have said, this is timely. I also need new tires, and I expect I'll need to wheels to accommodate them!

So far it I think I'm the only one who has chosen the center tire. The other two have much more contrast against the gray background, making this center one is much more fun to select!

Jane they were definitely a bugger to select.  I used the Pen tool for the OD, but just used Quick Select to lift them off the background.  Dave did not help us with noisey background pattern either :-(.  I am sure we have asked this before, but if we upload PNG files, do they retain their transparency?  Is that how the supermarket trolly images worked?  It's a bugger when you can't remember from just two weeks ago.

A timely theme this week. I'm hoping to get a new set of rims for my car in the near future. I'm just wondering if they would prove too tempting to theives.

This policeman in Quito is very happy with his upgraded wheels! Thank you for the great images, Dave.

Thank you, Dave. It's just your wheels replacing the ones in the original picture, and the requisite grounding shadows. They actually do have policemen going around on Segways in Quito!
