this looks like a merge of two pics but is actually only one. i will post the original in the ws.
i took it yesterday whilst waiting to be let in to the shop where i work.

there is a roller shutter behind the door which has helped with the reflection.

luckily i had my trusty fuji at hand so i decided to fire of a few shots.
i played around in cs3 to achieve a, slightly, sinister mood.

no real difference in pp other than using a yellow filter to add some depth.

Brian/Trampas Hi;
Wonderful artwork here. The special effects are very interesting and your thinking is very creative. Wonderful note, as well, thanks.
Congratulations, well done.

Even the original has an interesting look Brian. Excellent PP work to create, as you say, the sinister look. Good tones and textures and a real sense of speed with the slight motion blur. Well done,
David

Hi Brian,
Excellent work! Impressive shot and excellent PP work. Very dramatic scene well captured and presented. Really like this posting!

Howdo Brian

Good effect, the shutter (not the camera one lol) adding the idea of speed to the parked cars. Very clever.

Great effect. Something quite gritty and seedy about it. Probably not the right thing to say if that is where you work!

Pretty impressive again, Brian. How you managed to turn that w/s photo - which many would have deleted - into this beauty is an enviable talent. There is a real gritty west-coast feel to this shot and i think that this technique could be tried again - maybe with a figure walking in, or out, of the shot? I can almost imagine a hunched figure slouching into the frame...

Hello, Brian,
A very nice idea and I guess BW works well here,much better than what I saw in the original colours

This is AWESOME Brian! Very "spooky" in a way, surreal! LOVE the sepia on this, wouldn't work in color! Excellent idea, would have never thought of it myself frankly! LOL! Just LOVE how you saw this!

Wonderful result for such minimal pp work! This shot looks like a post-war image, with everything being gray and that menacing gloomy sky. The lines crossing the image horizontally, the light ones, look like a shock wave coming from a bomb.
Very well done, again, Bri!
Diana
p.s. later ;)
