Challenge 708: On the porch
So here I am in New Orleans, having arrived last night. It's now 6am and, being 6 hours ahead, I've been awake for two hours. I haven't had a chance to go anywhere and photograph anything interesting yet, so here's the porch of the AirBnB place where I'm staying. What wonders might I see if I take this porch downtown? High res is here.  |

This one really was a quickie before I jumped into the car.

I left New Orleans about 4 days before you arrived. Enjoy the city, stay out of the heat and maybe give the Hand Grenades a miss. |

I'm limited to free video clips and there aren't that many of them to begin with let alone at the proper perspective. I hope this one isn't too boring for people.

Putting a peripatetic porch through its paces - a painted panelled and palisaded patio perambulates through a panoply of palpably peculiar panoramas on a particularly paradoxical and puzzling peregrination. …….. and very nicely done too Sara! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 708: On the porch
Thanks David, However, unlike previous submissions, there wasn't that much Photoshop in this one. Hopefully, I'll be able to use more Photoshop for the next Challenge. _________________ I'm still learning. |

Re: Challenge 708: On the porch
First to hit the French Quarter was GKB, with a scene of marching jazzmen. A fine cutout - I see you’ve taken the flowerbed with it - and a very raunchy angle for the porch. Perhaps a slight rotation to the left? I like lwc's night scene - that’s a very nicely animated seagull. Those perspective clashes make me feel a little seasick, though. Love the animated hair in the second entry! A rare selfie from DavidMac - just what is going on that requires such a solid screen? A good colour match, though, and the angles all work. A knight to remember from michael sinclair, with some serious weather. No New Orleans connection as such, but a dramatic effect. I like the lighting. Very fine work in the second entry - and I note that you’re the first one this week to make use of the bench. Excellent animation, and I particularly like the hypnotised seagull. Very strong work from Ben Boardman, who has matched the background perspective to that of the porch - impressive. I like the added Mardi Gras beads, and the tricentennial plaque. A very compelling image. A cascading waterfall from srawland, and a very neat way of avoiding cutting out all those irritating railings. A remarkable second entry, combining filmed footage with special effects; a good choice of backgrounds, and fun transitions. Somewhat tenuous New Orleans connections, though! A beautifully restored porch from Mariner, with nice straight verticals and a new railing - so cutting out the original defeated even you, eh? I think I’d have considered flipping the background horizontally, so the angle of the river bank more closely matches that of the porch. I like Jota120's solo trumpeter, with the river scene behind. Simple, but very coherent. |

Re: Challenge 708: On the porch
There is no more picture of the girls and I below the level you see. I needed to hide that.
Whilst I would love to take credit for a much better entry than my own I don't think I should ......... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thanks Steve. (Missing were the cat climbing onto the seat and the paddle steamer on the Mississippi  ).
PS your penultimate comment should be Mariner I believe. |

Yes. Mariner. Sorry, I should have stated that properly in my previous disclaimer. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
