Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep

Thanks Steve
I was really stuck for ideas this week. Incidentally, it's TB1 & 2 in the pic. Whatever would Geoff Tracy say?

Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep

Thanks for the kind words Steve. Had trouble with Charlie's legs, I couldn't find a suitable pic, could only find a head & shoulders shot and tried (unsuccessfully) to rebuild the rest of his body! I'll do better next time.

Thanks for the feedback on the Jeep roof and the yellow lines.

The overall idea was that I was trying to be satirical here (failed again!). I read in the UK news that Camilla was photographed unloading/loading shopping into the back of her Land Rover whilst parked on double yellow lines, and some people were upset that she didn't get a parking ticket or reprimanded by a Traffic Warden.

Thanks again Steve, good points.

Re Land Rover, I had substituted a ~1983 Royal Airforce Land Rover "Airportable" SIII variant instead of the Jeep in first entry!

Second was the Jeep.

A truly gorgeous rendering from LonnieK...

Thanks, Steve. This was a fun challenge and yielded many excellent images.

9 separate pix were used in my comp (scene, jeep, 1 for each of the 4 gals, towels, clothes and helmet). Manipulations included fabricating all the reflections, water FX, bokeh, flare, toning, etc. The jeep reflection required slicing up the jeep; flipping, transforming and reassembling all the pieces -- a challenging vehicle at a challenging angle to reflect.

I think my result is quite convincing (provided you can believe in floating jeeps) even if not nearly perfect. I'll get there eventually!
