Challenge 1084: A pod with a view
After a recent visit to London's Museum of the Docklands I passed this curious floating restaurant. The "tables" are pods containing around six to eight people, and they're taken for a trip around the docks before their meal is served. The trouble is, all they're seeing is modern office buildings with the occasional Victorian warehouse. Can you suggest a better sightseeing tour? High res is here.  |

Ben, I have just come up to the office to do this, only to find we had the same idea! Back to the drawing board for me. |

Fast Food. I did experiment with Photoshop’s new Nano Banana AI here, as per Steve's 2-minute Photoshop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIcUZMnoCAA, but then made many of my own edits on top.

OFFICIAL BELGIAN ENTRY - Dinner in the sky A spokesman for the department for Arts and Culture encourages the viewer to approach this image with an open mind and not allow distractions, such as scale, to obscure the enjoyment and appreciation of this fine example of Belgium's long tradition of surrealistic expression.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Ben, I have just come up to the office to do this, only to find we had the same idea! Back to the drawing board for me. I guess great minds.... Nicely done Ben Thanks Gordon - nice space odyssey, I wouldn't have thought of that. |

That's lovely Ben but I fear Mr Caplin is likely to have something to say about reflections .................   _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I've left this small so you can't examine it too closely! Because lighting is my 'thing', I thought I would be a real show off and light up the candles. Turns out that came firmly under the category bad idea! It's a mess! But it was a lot of work so I have posted anyway. You can look on it as a salutary lesson on just how quickly 'clever clogs' can turn into 'bigger than boots' ............ .......... and now I'm mixing metaphors too!  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

All ok here, Michael. I woke up to the devastating news this morning. Such a senseless act. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims. _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Re: Challenge 1084: A pod with a view
That is so much better Ben! Thank you for your comments that inspired it - I am much happier with it. I am still trying to work out how you did your candlelight image - it looks great. Did you individually light the sextagons? |
