Something for the weekend — Part 83 — Streets of Warsaw

Hi

This is an early morning street scene taken in Warsaw, Poland. In “Song of the Open Road,” from Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman writes:

“You road I travel and look around! I believe you are not all that is here!

I believe that something unseen is also here.”

The challenge for this week is to start with this photo and show us what is unseen that is also here.

You can make it as simple or as complex as you like and you can choose to composite it from photographs, illustrate it, model it in 3D, or animate it. It’s entirely up to you.

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 an expert or somewhere in between.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don’t be shy — join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200 px on the long side.

To download the starter image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artifacts, right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun!

    It was fifty years ago today that the Beatles crossed Abbey Road.

    Dean and Trevor — more Inception! It's becoming a theme of it's own! The Eskmo video was amazing. Think of what M. C. Escher would have done with today's media!

    Jacob — I was trying to decide if your image was dancing The Wave or inspired by Inception, but either way, it made me laugh! And yes, when the weekends run from Friday to Thursday, I do sometimes have to go to work — if you call teaching Adobe InDesign to an awesome class work. It didn't feel like work; we had too much fun!

    Dave — thank you for letting me take a turn and post a vacation photo from my bicycling trip last fall, and thanks to all for messing it up!

    Cheers,

    Jane

    Jane, I must confess I am at a loss concerning The Wave, and I have only come across Inception here in SFTW.

    But you are right in that I meant it to be a warming up to a dance, performed by dancers a bit morning stiff, or just a bit stiff, thrilled about the day to come.

    Dean, Trevor, others,

    Maybe it is late, but far from too late: we have seen more than once that the weekend lasts until Friday.

    I know I should comment on everything, and I will — when I get home from work! Yes, there’s time for more!

    Dean, great job.  Jacob's wobbly buildings put me in mind of Inception as well, but you've pulled it off perfectly.  However, I now feel the need to see the car drive up the side of the buildings on the left, and exit the image fully upside down.  Did James bond ever do anything like that?  In a tunnel perhaps?

    Thanks Trevor. I was also Inception inspired by Jacob's wobbly building.

    It is my second Inception influenced SFTW, last at:

    To the driving up the side of buildings, look at:

    Trevor, Jane,

    You know that an elephant can use the finger(s, plural for African) to hold and use a paintbrush? And finger painting is also an option, though it may give even more splotches on the trunk.

    However, there is an issue:

    Bob — a night scene with lovely lighting and a sad poem from Brontë. Whitman gives us hope again with these words:

    “The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again, they endure,

    The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall again shine"

    Trevor — yes, what else could we expect other than Solidarity Marchers unless it were a Harrod’s shopper zipping up the sidewalk and into her lift with her designer purchases?

    Graham — a night scene with a starry, starry, night and the Hubble (I know someone who had a project on it!) What are the other orbs that are too big to be stars and too many to be planets?

    Joan — We spent an evening watching some of these dances. I couldn’t join in due to an injury I had received a few hours earlier and had to be content with drinking Żubrówka instead. I didn’t know the dances had names!

    Rafael — Those Canadian marchers are a long way from home!

    Jacob and Graham — I found that episode online and will try to watch it in the next week. Does she drown or hit pavement when she jumps?

    most of the other orbs are stars with Alpha Century and the Coalsack tossed in too... if I clean up the background noise you can see them better but then it doesn't look like the night sky anymore because humans see all that noise when they look up

    tell miss that photos of stars look like orbs because they move [well its more correct to say we move] and you need a star tracker to take a photo of stars if you don't want them to go orb-y because it takes a full minute for my sx60 to get the light needed... better cameras with bigger night seniors will take faster photos but the results will show stars that a human eye can't see so it wont look like it does to your eyes if she does that

    p.s, Adobe stock has some very nice models NASA sort of loaned us for use in Dimension and they are free
