Twirl

[Alan]

First attempt at a new technique

[Ironwood]

A bit of a "mind bender" there Alan.
Have you been getting bored too ?

[Isac]

That's so cool big guy! C'mon - tell all the others members how you did it!

[Alan]

Thanks you two.

I actually found a link to this technique on Brad's Nikon Forum last night, (thanks for the clarifying PM btw)

I could let you try to work it out - but for those with no patience click HERE

Like a lot of these techniques I think a lot depends on choosing the right image to work on. I just picked a couple quickly at random. One can do all sorts of other things to the image on the way through of course. The posted technique is just the start.

Have fun - it's a bit addictive so there may be a few more to come.

If you want another 'Challenge' you could try to work out which of my recent images were used (that shouldn't be hard)

I could tell you, but I would have cheated. Then you would call me a big Galah

[Alan]

You got it

[Isac]

The idea is really cool and I've made an action that you can use to change all sorts of things to get different effects - Tis fun, like you said. Thanks Alan.
By the colours you have in your "Guess the Image" shot, I would say it was a bird?

[Alan]

Thanks Greg. I'll have to have a look later - yes, bird related in the second one - Brad got it

This is fascinating stuff Alan. It can be used for background blending for landscapes as well. Just used some tree brushes on this one.

There is no end to it is there

I don't know how people can be bored with so much stuff to play with

[bill jolley]

I really must try this. Thank you very much for posting

[Alan]

have fun

[Isac]

Enjoy Bill and keep posting, AP really needs all the support it can get.

[Isac]

My social life is suffering because of this addictive stuff. So I have introduced the original TWIRL, which could easily become another addiction

[Alan]

Excellent!

This is cool stuff Alan - This could go on for years!
