Something for the Weekend - Part 238 - Blast off!

Community Expert ,
Apr 11, 2025 Apr 11, 2025

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

 

This week I thought we might start with an industrial scene. This was the last blast furnace in Redcar, but unfortunately it was closed down in 2015 and has now been demolished. Sadly, it marked then end of the use of blast furnaces, to make steel by the river Tees, which had gone for 140 years.

What can you make with this industrial scene?

 

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!

 

Dave

Yep. And to think the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation called it, "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!"

I'm less concerned about the death star and more concerned over that other planet that appears to be very close. It could well pull up the tide, the coast being very close, and I'll get my feet wet!

I do like the colours in this, Junior Rocha.

If you had a bit of a run up and really went for it, you could jump from one planet to the next.  Red Bull and GoPro would sponsor that in a heartbeat.

we don't know, maybe one planet is going to collide with the other, 2 planets and the death star, wouldn't that be "the 3 body problem"? 😁
