Apparently yesterday, 21st June, was "International Selfie Day"...I missed it.
I should also say that while I have LR I don't have Photoshop...the set up is half the fun, but that damned pen nearly had me back in my straight-jacket.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Wonderful on many levels. The center tableau is the star, but I love the ominous shadows and cracked walls behind also.
On a slight aside; I swear I have that teacup ( well the same pattern, not the actual SAME cup) inherited from my mom. Half a world away, who would have thought?
@taffy Thank you so much - I'ma little bit pleased with it myself :) @gardencat Who would have thought indeed - this one is from my Grandmother, Royal Doulton. Because we're posh ;) @nicolecampbell Thank you very much :) @golftragic Thank you kindly - and if it's any comfort, it pains me to accept it ;) @cyn_kirby Thank you very much - the set up is half the fun ;) @kali66 Consider them inserted and accept my thanks :) @bill_fe Thank you kindly good sir :) @jgpittenger Thank you very much - he is right handed...I didn't think of that! @alophoto I can't think what... ;) @julzmaioro Thank you very much :) @northy Thank you very much :) @maggiemae Non-scene...I like that :) @marcy0414 Thank you kindly - I had to put something in all that empty space... @kwind Thank you very much, always appreciated
@jesperani Thank you very much :) @atchoo Thank you so much :) @dide Thank you kindly :) @pistache Thank you very much :) @dkbarnett Thank you very much - sorry to take up so much of your time...
Always thought there was a little photoshop trickery in some of your work. Hats off to ya on this one mate. Superb lighting, extremely well composed and how DID you get that pen to stay upright? Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
@vignouse Thank you very much - there's nothing quite like a good arrangement ;) @salza Thank you very much and yes, I have to agree :) @rosiekerr Thank you so much :) @radiogirl Thank you very much :) @tonygig Thanks very much :) @socalgal Thank you kindly :) @fotoblah Something something thank you ;) @trishaclancy Thank you very much indeed :) @hrs Thank you very much :) @paul10 Thank you very much - #saynotophotoshop ;) The pen was balanced very delicately with a couple of long pins behind it. Then I'd move and it would fall over and I'd have to start again. There was a little cloning in LR to remove what could be seen of the pins @juliedduncan Thank you most kindly :) @gigiflower That's what I thought, and that's me saying that! @tracie8266 Thank you very much :)
@aikiuser You can see right through me... @stimuloog Thank you very much :) @linnypinny Thank you so much :) @scotthouston Now there's an idea...and yes, LR does have it's moments... @humphreyhippo Thank you very much :) @shepherdmanswife Thank you very much :) @ianforbes Thank you very much - I enjoy the challenge ;) @novab Thank you very much :) @happypat It was bound to happen sooner or later ;)
@annied I posted this on a Facebook page as well and a local politician said exactly the same, to which replied "you ain't no oil painting yourself" :)) @pinkpaintpot Thank you very much :)
