Hi

First of all thanks to @jane-e and @Trevor.Dennis for bringing us the last two challenges, also to all those who took part in them.

I got the idea for this week's starter image when thinking about the last perspective challenge. So I bring you this scene of an empty lift (elevator for my friends over the Atlantic). What can you now do with it?

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. Sorry to have to add this last one but it has come to light that some of the starter images have been taken (not by our regular participants) for other uses without permission.

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

I'm a bit late but better late than never 🙂

Here's to 'keep going'.

I wonder how long you'd have to wait for them to line up with some were going up and some going down. 🙂

@davescm, I didn’t think anyone was going to notice your small gray buttons on a gray wall, so I've fixed them for you. Is big, blue, and obnoxious good?

I almost closed your page when the image changed. I hadn't realised it was animated. I like the view of the ocean. 🙂

I like the ocean too, Dean, and when I came up with the title A room with a view, I remembered SFTW 59 (hence the woolly indicator), with Findhorn Beach,

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/something-for-the-weekend-part-59-a-room-with-a-view/td-p/10331258

That was the reason for my giving it 10 seconds; and I almost ran out of luck.

The challenge for me (on all floors) was that the bottom of the view is very close to the horizon corresponding to someone sitting down (as in the starter picture and all the others).

I managed to have the Armadillo (SEC) included on the other floors (too faint and far away to be visible on the 9th floor).

If you never saw this 1999 movie, you probably won't get it. But that's OK. 😁

I had to look it up and I don't think I've seen it. I'll have to put that right 🙂

Some nice touches there Trevor - I particularly like the "sound of the piano not playing" and the wanted poster.

I know bamboo grows fast but I wonder how long it took to reach the third floor ?

Dave

Dave, the big ones of the "that is not a bamboo, this is a bamboo" kind can grow up to 3 feet a day, and up to about 100 feet in total, so depending on storey height a bamboo could pass the 1st floor after 2 days, the 5th floor after 6 - 7 days, and the 9th floor after 11 days, corresponding to the floor indicator, which also indicates how far up we are in SFTWs.

For this place, it might have been more suitable with square bamboos. In recent times different folk have tried to develop them for at least some 50 years, where I remember Japanese attempts to develop it on a large scale for more convenient construction, but I should be surprised if no Japanese or Chinese had tried it hundreds (or thousands) of years before.
