Contest 50: The first half century
Wow, 50 contests! That's nearly a year of Friday Challenges, and it marks a real milestone. To mark the occasion, Focal Press have agreed to donate a copy of Martin Evening's excellent Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers as a prize for the best entry. This is the bible of Photoshop: it covers everything you need to know about CS2 in exhaustive detail. The contest: make the best montage you can using elements from previous Friday Challenges. I'm looking for wit and inventiveness, of course, but more than anything I'm hoping for a consistent, convincing montage that looks as realistic as possible. Over to you! |

Re: Contest 50: The first half century
ok, I'll kick it off then. 50 challenges, now that deserves something special. If only I could have found some polish you'd have seen some reflections in the tabletop - thankfully I didn't !  _________________ minds are like parachutes - they only work when they are open |

Cheers, I'm just a very quick worker ! I'm on holiday this week so a bit of both, a case of the 6 P's really, I'd have been knackered if Steve had set a different challenge though !! All in all, good fun. _________________ minds are like parachutes - they only work when they are open |

Re: Contest 50: The first half century
Has it really been that long since boiling an egg and putting the fish in the glass? Another year older, and let still unwise as to create the perfect montage! Nice challenge though, serves me right for clearing out all the old images I had saved from previous challenges last month. Just had to scroll though all 50 to download the original from each. Not sure how so many landscapes/buildings are going to fit into one montage seamlessly, I think that ALOT of imagination will have to be used! Surpised that a signed edition of your book Steve, is not the prize? _________________ "There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age."

Re: Contest 50: The first half century
I'm in the same boat as Tabitha. I just finished copying my old files to an external hard drive, when the Firewire interface on my iMac pooped out. It will be a long time before I can afford to fix that. I may be better off getting a new computer. Now that the G series has ended, since Apple computers will now be made with Intel chips, how will that affect future software updates? Will people have to get new computers if they want to upgrade to CS3 in two years? Sorry to get off track, are the images for the old Friday Challenges available for downloading? (After Glen's terrific entry, I may not try. I can't compete.) |

Re: Contest 50: The first half century
A suggestion. seeing as this is a bit of a special challenge, how about we all post our solutions to this on Thursday (if they're ready). That way we won't get any "stolen ideas" comments and we can all have a look at once. I know I've posted already but after Steve's suprise find for my lucky day I've been polishing ever since so if you want please disregard my first attempt, I was just being lazy. (I hate polishing anyway) Looking forward to Thursday - what d'ya think?
