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

That's awesome, @Ko.Maruyama! Thoroughly Python, instant nostalgia! All it needs now is a few silly sound effects. 😸

I'm not sure that The Empire would waste Fusion Torpedos blowing up that base.

You've done a very nice job with the lighting there, Trevor. The light on the buildings looks convincing.

It takes on a face shape when reflected and those scary eyes finish it nicely, James.

James, one day you are going to have to reveal what the owner of those scary eyes looks like?  I'm guessing that it is not, in fact, a scary monster, but a harmless nerd with trick glasses with red LED lenses.  No one is going to mess with him, unless domeone thinks to turn the light on. 😉

It's waiting for the day and the hour, before it releases itself from the ground. Until then, it watches...and waits...
