Powers of dispersion

Felicity challenged me to use the dispersion effect in Photoshop, after much trial and error I semi-cheated and used an action available through a youtube , made 3 similar and created this gif of my Nephew being badass .

[Graeme Stevens]

That's very cool, nicely done

[kali]

@graemestevens someone else did all the hard work, those actions are crazy complicated!

[Joan Robillard]

Neat photo

[JackieR]

Looks effective, good of your nephew to help you play

[FBailey]

Terrific result, much better than just a straightforward pic!!

Hi kali, were partnered again.

I did consider getting you yo make art out of lobbing kitchen utensils in the air, and feel free to do that if you don't fancy emulating a Philippe Halsman Jump photo. https://www.google.com/search?client=tablet-android-samsung&q=philippe+halsman+jump&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjf1darj_zfAhVzpHEKHZ7gDvYQ1QIoAXoECAsQAg&biw=768&bih=1024 or......... do both??!!!!

[Shanne]

that's a great gif - interesting effect and nice to see your nephew as well as you niece.

[Sarah]

Well done. A great shot

[Stefano Trezzi]

Very well done, nice work

[Krista Marson]

Impressive feat

[Wendy]

What a great concept and pose. His cloak really sets the tone.
This is really well done! A terrific gif!

[Henri Russell]

Well done.

[Taffy]

Wonderfully clever!

[Jennifer Potter]

That turned out really neat! I have not tried to use that filter yet in photoshop!

[Swinging Curtain]

awesome picture you got there. imho what you did is not cheating. photography is a form of art & expressing. also your lighting is on point.

[sarah]

So clever !! I bet your nephew loved the result - thanks for the link too

@graemestevens @jenp @swingingcurtain @samae @taffy @farmreporter @shannejw @fbailey @30pics4jackiesdiamond @sarahlth thanks, i should say if you want to try it the action only seemed to work moving to the left, and i found the instructions a bit hard to follow on the video so used another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox2phkGU9HM&t=259s just to set photoshop up correctly , but used this free action from the link above in place of the paid one on this video

@swingingcurtain haha glad it works, he is cut out from a bush scene and i used gradient fill for the background, i am no studio photographer lol

[kali]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond last time i did jump photos i found out just how unfit i am LOL will see what i can come up with, ideally it wont be a self portrait haha

[JackieR]

@kali66 Happy for you to lob kitchen stuff around!!! just wear a crash helmet

[kali]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I am looking after the grandsons on Friday, perfect opportunity to get something along these lines :)

[JackieR]

[kali]
