Fun with Photoshop Thread

[tardypizza]

I don't want to pollute Dogged's thread with any more of my shenanigans.

While most would argue that you can't create photochop threads, they simply just happen spontaneously, I beg to differ. Post up a pic, request, or theme and let everyone photochop away.

And go!

I will start by posting a couple examples of photoshopped photos I created a little while ago.

To create this photo, I did the following. I took a photo of a flashlight standing on end in the middle of some flowers. I then positioned the flowers to create a better composition, and to make the top of the flashlight resemble the look of a flower top. I then found photos of the butterflies and lizards on the web, and resized and positioned each, adding them to the photo one by one. I then did the same thing with a praying mantis.



For this photo I took a photograph of a flashlight on a rock, and a separate photograph of the lilypads in a pond in our backyard. I then added the flashlight to the photo of the lilypads. I used the shadow tool to make a shadow next to the flashlight based on the position of the other shadows in the photo.



For this photo I took the same photo of the flashlight used for the lilypad picture. I then found a photo of a rocket launching, and replaced the flashlight for the rocket. I then took a photo of Saturn taken by the Hubbell space telescope, and added the flashlight to make it look like it had reached orbit around Saturn.

Next I took the first photo of the flashlight launching into space, and added one of the lizards from the photo of the flowers to the back of the flashlight. I then added both flashlights to the photo of Saturn, one with the lizard and one without, to make it look like the second "manned" flashlight had reached orbit.

Holy crap, I don't even know if it's possible to top that.

This one kills me:







If this thread is going to stand any chance, I deem that the current theme should be "everyday objects in space". Can anybody come up with anything nearly as good as Dogged?
