Gary gave me a Photoshop challenge: Open cat Samson’s eyes.

I photographed cat Samson at the Yavapai Humane Society today. He was very nervous and would not come out of his kennel, so I shot him where he was. He would not open his eyes. He will be rephotographed when he is feeling less stressed.

Gary challenged me to open Samson’s eyes with Photoshop. This is just an exercise, we would not use a doctored image for an adoption photo.

Fake Super Super Duper Moon

Photoshopped fake super moon over Watson Lake in Prescott, Az. It’s a real photo of the lake at sunset, and a real photo of the November 2016 super moon. But I made the moon layer about ten times larger than life.
My visual answer to all the super moon hype.

green screen photography, photoshop composite

Gary has been practicing with his green screen set up in preparation for work he is doing for the Prescott Public Library. Yesterday I posted a photo of him working with the police chief. Earlier in the process I was the model, or the voice activated lighting dummy. Model sounds better, no?

He got a nice shot of me and rat terrier Stacy, we were in front of the green screen. Then he used software to subtract the green background, and add in a background from another photo. So here I appear with Stacy in front of some urban tagging art. Gary created my shadow in Photoshop to make the composite realistic. It’s hard to tell this is a Photoshop composite as he did a really good job.

For the library project, Gary is going to make a set of posters to promote reading.

Dogs, fox, photoshop composite, Stacy

On a hot Sunday with time on my hands (I’m retired) while laundry is in process, I photoshopped Stacy’s head onto the body of a fox. I always thought Stacy looked fox-like, and I’ve wanted to do this project for a while. It was quite a bit of work to blend the tones in a sort of realistic manner. I’m not happy with the left side of the junction of Stacy’s neck with the fox’s shoulder, but it’s not bad.
