[Guest Judy]

Polly is busy this weekend but I've sent her a  text  to ask her start a new Challenge.

 

[Clicker]

Just  had a look at my phone  to see a text from Judy  ... Sorry  a bit late responding ... I seem to have been cooking eating drinking or washing up dishes since about 9am  this morning ... with house guests staying since last night to next Monday ... Love it  but ...phew ..

I have put up a new challenge very quickly ... Hope the dates are correct Judy.... I am  not good with figures at the best of times ... let alone after the 3 GnTs and some (?) wine  anda Tiramasu that had more alcohol in it than coffee .!! Thanks for  the three votes  folks ... ..so just a whisker  between us all it seems .. I will pop in later tafter midnight when everyone  else  is zzzz ing . to say how the image was done Chrissie ,...It as a steel drainer on the draining board ,cropped  and  distorted in CS6 with the "Shear " option....

I'll Post the original later on ...

[Guest Judy]

I was wondering about that boozy Tiramasu you told me about. Think the dates are fine but ... have sent you a message about my further probs with the world, universe and such like

[Kobione]

Well done in this one Polly - a lovely image

[Brian]

I'm home!!

Well done, Polly. like it a lot.  I've read your description of it, but would like to see a blow by blow description of how it was achieved. If you get the chance that is.

[Korky]

That really is a super image and it's the one that would've got my vote if I hadn't been away visiting Lord and Lady Brightlingsea.

Well done the Click Lady!

Thanks all ...  visitors  have just left and heading off to Suffolk .......

For Brian...here is the original image ... I wanted  something with straight lines to form a pattern that I could distort  to give a sense of movement  I had looked at wrought  iron raIiings,, Georgian windowsetc   but there wasn't enough contrast and symmetry for what I  wanted. Then grabbing a mug off the draining board to make a cuppa, I saw exactly what I wanted ...raised ridges on the draining  board element  and a stainless steel drainer sat on the top of that. So I stood on a chair to get an overhead shot of it , cropped it,  

 Then I went into Filter> .distort >.shear and moved the lines about till  i got an image that liked the look of to represent movement ...then lastly I ran a it all through a photographic toning gradient choosing a  cyanotype  colour running diagonally to give a slight steely blue tone to the whole image  Hope that helps explain  how i did it Brian ... if not ... just yell 

[Brian]

That's great, thanks Polly. I like to know how these things are done. So much to learn!
