3D Orb - Rust

As some of you will know I did a month of rust in my topics album last month. So for the rust theme this month I have put my pictures from last month into a 3D orb and made a reflection of it too. I think I need a stiff drink now and a lie down. ha ha.

I would like to thank you all for checking out my photos and if I haven't got back to you individually in the last few days I apologise. I will try and spend some tonight checking out your photos, but it has been a bit busy here the last few days.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs. a few of you have asked how this was done. Here is the link to Gavin Hoey's tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKbUM5NLJ_g
Have fun. I did change the last bit though and used the gradient tool instead of the brush to fade out some of the reflected orb.

[gabriel]

@originalintentionstudios @pittcj17 @lafish @seattlite @eyesmile @dolphin @kwind @kwiksilver @chimfa @paulaw @kathiecb @tabarlett @golftragic @tomtom @debilz @lilminimonka @pcoulson @rosiekerr @april16 @libertylady Thanks so much for your lovely comments and favs for this picture. I hope you will all try the tutorial now and come up with a 3D orb picture, but a word of warning, keep the bottle of wine handy.
I wrote out how to do it on a piece of paper so I have always got a copy of the tutorial now and just work through it step by step. This is the second 3D orb I have done and it does get easier the more you do it.

[Marnie]

@onewing Pardon the idiot question but - what tutorial? Must've gone through to the 'keeper.

[Babs]

@golftragic Sorry I had done a group reply earlier here and linked the Gavin Hoey's tutorial to my reply.
Here it is again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKbUM5NLJ_g

[Marnie]

@onewing Ta muchly. I'll check it out. In fairness, I probably received the original, but it's long gone. Sorry.

[Babs]

@golftragic Have a large glass of wine handy the first time you do a 3D orb picture though. The second one you do you only need half a glass.

[Robyn]

Neat collage and processing. Fav

[Margo]

This is totally brilliant A Fav

[Babs]

@flyrobin @777margo Thanks so much for the favs. I must think of another theme for a 3D orb picture. This is my second attempt at it.

[Marnie]

@onewing Sounds like good advice, thanks Babs.

[Deb]

Amazing Babs! Fantastic idea to capture all your great shots and display them in such a creative way.
