a slice of time

This is my nephew's alrm clock - well, it was to start with I guess!.

Since starting my 365 project in May 2011, I have always tried to challenge myself to post using a technique, edit or 'eye' that I had not previously used. Today I thought it would be OK to post a Droste effect once again (original post http://365project.org/ltodd/365/2012-01-11 ) - and challenge myself to edit faster...well, one thing led to another, and another, and another....and....well, I can tell you after 3 years, I did not edit any faster at all, - but I did a whole lot of extra layers & steps!!)

Photographically it is a challenge to get the clock face starting image square on, and without reflections.

http://365project.org/ltodd/extras/2015-01-04 are some of the stages in the development of this shot.

[Lyn Todd]

@northy I was thinking about you when I tried to see if I could do the selection *without* using Topaz ReMask. Ha! (it was a time consuming *fail* & so in the end I did it in ReMask in a tenth of the time!

[☠northy]

@ltodd was it you who put me onto remask in the first place? It's such a humongous time saver...

@ltodd @northy Lyn, what was the background color and was it nearly homogenous for the entire clock?

[Mike Gifford]

@ltodd @northy Lyn, okay, I just looked at your other link with the steps. I can see the progression of the initial extraction, droste effect and then onto the layering, background and such. Cool stuff!

@christineaz Hey thanks Christine - sometimes I wonder about where my mind takes my editing!!! ;-D Welcome to 365 & I hope you enjoy & learn as much as I have over the past few years. It is a very supportive community.
I do really enjoy this particular style of fantasy editing the most, and wish I had more time to experiment.
