Something for the Weekend - Part 216 - Rock on!

[davescm]

After last week's 'Walk on' challenge in Yorkshire, I thought we should continue our outdoor adventures. Everyone loves a rock pool, so we start this week with some coastal rocks on the Northumberland coast. What can you make with this? Will it be something that comes out of the sea, or something living in a pool?

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”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, 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.

To download the 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!

Steampunk Lava Beach

That's the second Steam Punk elephant I have seen today.  I love that reflective lava texture.

[davescm]

A clockwork world 🙂 

As someone who creates textures in Substance Designer, I do like that shiny lava texture.

The lava texture is insane!

[PaintedKitty]

Really love this!💕

Do you think we will find any intelligent being here?

Naaaaah, lets go back to Proxima Centauri!

 

[davescm]

But pinch some rocks first of course 🙂

[Monika Gause]

Don't you think it will be a little on the bumpy side?

[davescm]

Well I did say rock pool 🙂  Nice take on the theme, Monika.

Even when the Martian seas dried up, people still went to the beach.

[Valdair Leonardo]

Loved it haha thoses hidden bones are definitely something to be scared of lol

[davescm]

We've had the past view of the coastline, I hope this is not the future!

I was thinking along very similar lines, considering what happened to the oceans on Mars, but in the end I wanted to spin it as a bit of fun. The middle and far distance are composited from a couple of Curiosity rover images, and I lifted the "beachgoers," originally from a shot of Ventura beach in California, from a different composition called "Life on Mars: The Proof!"

The lovely coastal scene is perhaps not quite as serene as it appeared initially....

Awww, he's just saying,  'You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'.  🙂

He's saying "waiter where is my smoked salmon? "🙃

Gen Fill is not getting any better at doing faces. 😞

[Trevor.Dennis]

I had a thought about the dreadful job Adobe Ai is doing with faces.  It apparently draws on a zillion images as source material for Ai images, so what if you happened to see your own face in someone else's Ai derived artwork?  Is that a possibility?   Could there be consequences?  I am definitely not a tin-foil hat wearing loonie-tunes paranoid, but I have decided not to tick the Permisions question at the end of Photoshop Preferences.   

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Well I opted out  of that , but then I recently got a check from Adobe for it. I don't want to know.

This summer you're safe. We need those flags at home (neighbours have already decorated their home - they are huge football fans)

[davescm]

It would still be dark if the towels are just going out!  🙂

That has a definite Schrodinger's cat feel to it Dave.

Who's going to be brave enough to look @Trevor.Dennis ?
