Something for the Weekend - Part 237 - Pot luck!

[davescm]

Thanks to all who took part in our last 'Pi' challenge.

This week I was digging around in a components drawer and came across this small potentiometer, which is used to vary voltage, or current, in an electrical circuit. However, I know that your creative imagination can put it to a much wider use. What can you make 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).

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!

[Peru Bob]

Good catch, Dave.

I should have decreased the brightness of two of the lenses.

[davescm]

Haha, I like that Bob. It is great what different people see from the same starter object. 🙂

I'd never have thought of it... very original use of the image.

The ancient pot seems to be stirring up ancient mythical themes. Here's another one!

[davescm]

That fits very well, Alan, and uses a different part of the 'pot'. I like how you've matched the painted style.

That's the "Watercolor Artist" action from an Adobe Create magazine back in 2019. The resulting PSD is a little over 900 MB, with all the optional variation layers, so I just isolated the "shield" for the final composite and ran the "Sphere Glass" action from the Adobe LookingGlass action set to give it dimension.

[fbeaume]

Great shield... Variable protection?

All rock guitarists know that every amplifier needs an '11' setting ! 🙂 Nice one Trevor.

I've soldered an awfull lot of these to a whole lot of PCBs, so it felt right to use it for what it is.  I also bet that I am not the only one who spends time on detail that won't be seen in the final composite.

[fbeaume]

Haha..Love that!
Well done Travor!
