Went to a Steam Rally today, here is one of the exhibits.
Thought you would like to have a play.

Here's a quick one to start off.

Bumpmapping and drop shadow effects. Some Overlay painting with black pen as well. Saturation adjustments too. :)

lkroll, very nice. love the clarity.

This picture begs for the old treatment. :classic:

Thanks Craig; bumpmapping tends to sharpen photos a bit (mostly an asset).

Like the frame Fox. :)

I like this picture! 2 men and their famous boiler...

Apologies for using Fox's idea, but he was right it just asks for treatment as an old image.

Here's a sketchy-smudgy sort of a thing.

Lovely photo Peter S...

Great renditions by all but i particularly like the two old treatment ones....works really well for the steam engine...

Here is mine done in Photoshop CS2 with the oils art history brush and then Flaming Pears Aetherize...brought back some detail with the detail sharp art history brush...

Patricia.... :happy:

Certainly shows how a lot of work pays off.

Beautiful job!

Mervelous work in this thread so far. It is uplifting to see. Thank you for sharing and for making me wish I had more time to work on pictures such as this one.

That goes double for me. Mine was a little rushed, and it shows after seeing this lot

Here's a sort of watery colour effort.
Based on the Sergeant action from intellsketch in Russia.

That looks nice, good job Mitch. :pleased:

it begged for this treatment...lil bleach bypass look with full frame print/filed out neg carrier

i love the old looks here but lqqker, once again, you've captured the perfect look for this one.

Combination of Painter and Photoshop.

I really like this shot and thought I'd give it a shot.

Took my time getting a post here but here it is better late than never my mom say's

photomaster, nice. the posterizing works well here and you got just the right amount.

skydog, good, but all that black makes it look like the smoke is just choking everything up. could just be a gamma setting on my machine, though.

palms, i like that. i can imagine the tractor being just freshly delivered from the factory...all new and sparkly.

i love this stuff :)

Mitch that is weird, different, vibrant and i think it is great :thumbsup:

Palms

Thanks Palms!

Mitch.

mitch,

not very familiar with post-impressionism. kinda weird but kinda like it too. would hate to be the driver though.

Craig,

I know what you mean about the way it would drive, - I think I had a car like that once. :dizzy:

Mitch.
