Something for the weekend - Part 11 - We're having a ball!

[davescm]

Hi

The image below was snapped inside the ballroom in Blair Castle, Scotland. Situated near Pitlochry, the castle is well worth a visit and some parts date back to 1269 AD.

The trouble is my image of the ballroom shows it empty. It is still used to host Highland balls, wedding receptions and private dinners. So your challenge this week is to put on an event in the ballroom.

As usual, 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 artefacts, right click and then use Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

That's simply awesome Trevor ! I'm a bit dizzy now though.

[Jodi_Frye]

Ha ha That's really incredible work Dave !! Made me smile for sure !! Really neat ! 

[Terri_Stevens]

Be sure I will get you for this Dave , I bear grudges

[davescm]

Haha. To be fair, I did include myself - you don't think I actually go around playing the bagpipes do you (at least not all of the time). Anyone I left out - there is always another weekend

Jodi and Rista, I love what you have done!

[Semaphoric]

Did somebody say "Ball"?

Trevor - I like it. I may be wrong, but is this the first gif we've had in these weekend challenges ? Next we need the After Effects gurus to join us with full movies

Semaphoric - good idea - I'd not thought of turning it into a basketball court

Keep them coming guys

The Shooting Gallery in Part 4 was an animated GIF, albeit with long delays built in.  AE Would be perfect for SFTW —  Mylenium  is a wiz with AE, so let's try and get him to play.

I'd forgotten about that one Trevor, also yours

I can see the ball "animating" into the net!

(Is that a word?!?)

[Jodi_Frye]

Love the basketball game !! Reminds me of my elementary school gym. They didn't have much storage at the school and the gym always had stuff piled along the edges ...

The Curator is getting interested!

Dave, my apologies for the theft.

[Jodi_Frye]

  Ha ha that's awesome Rista !!

[Terri_Stevens]

Thank you Rista, but I'm not as thin as that-my husband thanks to you, having seen that, has told me to go on a diet I must admit though I wish I knew where I could buy that velvet top as I really like it

My elderly relatives - the ones who think Photoshop is the corner camera store - consider me the best family photographer because in my pictures they always look like they really do:  20 lbs lighter.

[Jodi_Frye]

Ha ha Rista I thought you were going to say 20 years younger.   Wish I could use the healing brush on my actual face !! Bye bye wrinkles hello smooth skin
