Something for the Weekend - Part 228 - Light up!

[davescm]

Thank you to all who took part in our previous locomotive challenge. There were some great ideas and images.

This weekend we have a miner's safety lamp. There have been many variations since its invention by Humphrey Davy in 1815, but all work on the same principle and it has saved many lives.

What can you do with it?

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 humor 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 starter 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). It is a png with transparency so you should not need to spend time creating a mask for it.

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!

Indeed, where are all the daisies?

So many Monty Python fans here! Awesome!

If you want to know the way ask a policeman parrot. 🙂

Lovely stuff!

We can't have a SFTW without him!
Well done!

[AlanGilbertson]

But I had these other ideas that would not be denied!

Keep Firefly away from hands and it does a fair job. 🙂 I like the illustration style in the first one.

Curiously enough, neither of these started life in Firefly. The female and the creature came from another service I was trying out, but most of what you see in the final images is GenFill or GenExpand in Photoshop.

Love the fairy tales feeling on these ones!
Awesome!

[davescm]

I love it. The dodgy typing and all 🙂

Thank you, Dave! I just wanted authenticity 😄

[fbeaume]

Did you check the batteries?

It's always better to have a light on when taking the stairs

Light in the woods

[davescm]

I like the lighting - the blue cold forest and the warm glow from the lamp.

[AlanGilbertson]

Is that a Filter>Render>Flame? I couldn't make it work for me, and ended up using a genAI flame that I then messed about with.

Adding a bit of magic. Magician was created with Firefly, touched up and additional elements added in Photoshop, including Generative Fill. Some errors or is it giving away the trick?

Am having trouble inserting the image for some reason.
