Challenge 1080: Steaming ahead
I photographed this miniature steamroller at a rather glorious steam fair in Suffolk this summer. It's a perfect reduction of the original. Can you make this full size, with the same drivers? High res is here.  |

I like the specially tailor made cloth logo on the shirt. That's enthusiasm! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

The colour scheme on the left & right engines, that I photographed at our local steam group are as I shot them. Only noticed when I finished that the are all the same. |

The Ditchling steam rally was recently held on the village green next to the churchyard. People courtesy London Photoshop.

Did Ya Like That? Animated version: http://youtu.be/DK0XSFSnx0Q Just for fun, I thought I would see just how much better an AI version could do: http://youtu.be/SXN8MiYE9cs It did occur to me that members outside the UK might have no idea who I am referencing here. Fred Dibneh was a famous steeplejack with a passion for steam engines. He once famously said, “Did Ya Like that? (in a broad Lancashire accent) after felling a tall chimney.

Re: Challenge 1080: Full Steam Ahead
That's great action Frank. My late wife lived in tornado alley in the USA and would have really appreciated it. |

Nicely done Frank, with a top speed of 3-5 mph they need to 'step on it'.  |

Re: Challenge 1080: Steaming ahead
Thanks Ben and Loyd. Luckily we don't get tornados here, would certainly be very scary. He's got that one souped up Loyd
I couldn't find a background I needed so I employed AI to "Make a farmers field with a dirt road crossing the front" Remainder of image used a searched tornado image, a rebuild of the subject including turning the mans head and rebuild where they sit, dust and debris PS brushes, spin blur, and some color grading, dodge and burn, sky replace, etc. So in short, I plead guilty to succumbing in part to AI. |

Re: Challenge 1080: Steaming ahead
Well done to everyone who submitted this week. Great entries. Whether it's this flu that I'm recovering from or the odd perspective in this image but I struggled this week, almost giving up. Then I remembered Frank talking about Photoshop's Nano Banana and Steve's tutorial, so I investigated. I may be crucified for using it but I cannot fault the results. It's astoundingly accurate. http://vimeo.com/1138369952  _________________ Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting! |

Re: Challenge 1080: Steaming ahead
Loyd - you've been busy, nice work. Anna - Looks good to me, Nano did a great job on that perspective. I don't see anything wrong using it for that - you still created the finished product. Love the animation ,gas masks, smoke, bouncy ride, etc. I agree with David Mac's comments : see : "Generative Fill and More In PS 2026" |

Re: Challenge 1080: Steaming ahead
After rebuilding the steamroller I asked AI to place on a dusty road and here's the result. Must admit the results are tempting. ( I could not honestly claim this to be my own work).  |
