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!

I like it - it's a good use of the lamp. Which one is the magician though - the girl or the rabbit? 🙂

I embedded the image for you

Thanks for inserting the image Dave.

The rabbit definitely has control of part of this trick 🙂

[Christelle RD]

Love the concept!

[fbeaume]

Nicely done! Love the idea!

I Dream of the Conjuring

The Genie looks innocuous in the lamp, but together with the rest of the image - scary!

[duuufner]

hehehe.

I love the maniacal laugh!

[Trevor.Dennis]

Woah!  That's one spooky doll.  She'd make a good match for my Chucky.  I didn't note what SFTW it was from, but I put this on flickr in September 2018.  I remember doing the Chucky, but I had completely forgotten that I made it a frame animation.

SFTW37 Who is in the attic, Trevor.

Hahah! Nice, Trevor.

The doll is Annabelle from The Conjuring movies. 

[Christelle RD]

Love the idea of introducing the lamp in a cabinet of curiosities!

[duuufner]

It had to be added to the colletcion. 

[Abambo]

Did you know that there is a lampghost? It took me some Photoshop work on my iPad to make him visible.  

[davescm]

Don't rub the lamp too hard or I'll be out of there in a puff of smoke 🙂

Dave

[Jacob Bugge]

Will there be wishes with a gentle rub, Dave?

[davescm]

I shall not be influenced by undue rubbing of the lamp! 🙂

Dave

[fbeaume]

lol
You're right...Dave is a Genius!

[@mj]

Step aside Will and Robin! Heeeeere's Dave!

[Myra Ferguson]

It was an award-winning lamp 🙂

[davescm]

You've done a good job getting the embossed badge across, and making it look natural, Myra. 🙂

Diogenes, looking for an honest man

He might struggle in today's world! 🙂

Dave

[Trevor.Dennis]

Wow Jane.  That's raised the bar for the SFTW threads, and very fitting too.  Wikipedia says he was known for his cynicism carrying a lamp around in daylight 'Looking for an honest man'.  He'd have something to say about Donald Trump and his followers if he were alive today, and who knew that Jeans was spelt with a G back then?

[jane-e]

Proof that blue jeans were around in the 300s BCE. 😊 Nice edit Trevor!
