Fooling with photos

More experiments with photography and the computer. Photomontages are a great way to brush up on your computer and design skills as well as being a lot of fun. I do these in Photoshop Elements 2.0 on a Mac computer.

Here I added my hand to create an oddball image.

By adding my hand as well as a line sketch I create an interesting situation.

On this photo I retouched out the road and added the background section where it had been.

Just adding the red spheres makes for an odd, interesting image. For you artists out there in blogland, this is a terrific way to experiment and come up with creative images, try it yourself.

Hi!

I was thinking maybe you, and your readers, would be interested in taking part in a digital art contest organized by MyARTYshow.

You could win a graphics tablet worth 1200€, the opportunity of being exposed in a French gallery and, through the Facebook page of the contest, winning 1500€ if you collect the most ‘like’!

MyARTYshow organized this contest to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the brands: Gauloises, Bugatti, Sucrettes, Lesieur, Banania and L’OrĂ©al, and the 200th birthday of Peugeot. You have to create three pieces of art: each one for a different brand upon the seven suggested. All media files are allowed (movie, picture, sound, aniation, etc.). It’s fun to do! You’ll see. :)

You have until the 15th of February to participate.

To submit you work or ask any question about the contest just send an email to: concoursdigital@myartyshow.com; or you can go to the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/concours.art.digital.MyARTYshow.

Nice, the Pavement Ends looked so real. Oh, I can't help but noticed your wrist watch? Is it a BATMAN watch?
