Fire Escape...
© 2010 shootme

Found this birds egg walking today with my son. Got down and took this HDR. Went home built a ladder from wooden skewers and tooth picks, took a photo of the ladder removed the background and placed the ladder on the egg photo. Took care as to the angle of shot for the ladder and the shadow cast to be something similar to the actual shadow cast of the egg.

First attempt again, just trying to teach myself photoshop (since I have it).

Hope you had a good start to the working week.

Absolutely marvelous Peter. That what artists would do, Make your own photograph. The work you did is 100% believable, if you didn't tell I'd not have known. Photoshop is amazing, the more you know how to use it the more you enjoy it, and the results are always rewarding for the time spent.

A picture is a present you give yourself

Thanks for the encouraging comments. You are right it is fun, though I really shy away from using too much photoshop as it changes pictures too much from reality. Where I use it significantly like this I'll always spell it out. But I need to start learning how to use the softwares available and use it in a fun way. Again thanks for your kind words.

This is great Peter....very inventive and artistic. I especially like how you told us all the details, I always need the details. Shouldn't your head, with sunglasses, be peeping out of the egg?

Thanks Dana, just seeing what the limits are for what I like to do with a camera and Photoshop, it was fun doing this. I hardly know how to use Photoshop so with some practise there I guess is no limit.

Very funny and a wonder exercise in photo shop and ingenuity. Thanks for sharing the details.

Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
