Question

Something for the weekend - Part 2 - What Lies Beneath?

  • January 12, 2018

Following on from the great responses to last week's fun Photoshop challenge, I have a new one for this weekend

This is the Canning Dock in Liverpool, UK. That strange building on the left is the Longitude building and is not an artefact of my lens but it actually is built like that. When took the picture I liked the reflections but I wonder what it would look like if the water was crystal clear or if the dock was drained altogether? What would we see?

As with last week :

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 legend.

There are no prizes - just the chance to practice / show off or bring a bit of humour and fun.

As requested, I've posted the image at a bit higher resolution this week, as it can help with composites. When posting back your edited images please downsize to 1500px on the long side.

To download, right click and Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser)

Enjoy...

Dave

    I looked at several football angles with it being Liverpool, and the the club's colours being so vivid.  I thought Matt Busby walking on water, but couldn't find a suitable source image of him.  I also thought about some sort of soccer match played on/in water. Those funy angled building don't help with working out the perspective, but if you are tying to make it work, then as near as I can tell, the vanishing point and horizon are near the base of the nearest corner of the black building with all the angles.

    You're putting too much thought into this

    Ah, some great entries so far

    Semaphoric - if the scenery looks like that underneath , then we should drain the dock tomorrow . I also wondered if the library was left over from 2008 when Liverpool was "Capital of Culture"? I wouldn't like to have a seat under that ship though.

    The enigmatic Mr Fosse sets us a challenge in his intriguing image. Is it only me that wants to translate the Japanese characters and see what it says, or is my PC now running the secret code in his image and is now mining bitcoins for Norway?

    The conspiracy theorists will have a field day if they search and find USSNorway's entry and discover that the astronauts didn't land on the moon after all , they just went to Liverpool.

    Keep them coming, remember anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go......

    Liverpool you say?    Is that the Liver building in the background behind those dark rectangles?  That broad expanse of empty water throws up all sorts of possibilities, so time to get our thinking caps on.

    Now then, calm down calm down

    Wow. How cool is this. Google Earth does an elevated 3D view of Liverpool.  I don't know if THIS LINK will take you straight to it, or if you'll need to mess with the page widgets, but it is a great tool to explore the area with.

    Yes - that's the place Trevor and it is indeed the Liver building in the background.
