Been a while since I've blogged anything up, so I thought I'd throw up this shot from the Australian F1 GP recently.

Triptychs and Halftones
I put this one together on the weekend after seeing the "comic book" effect on a Mythbusters episode.
How did I do it?
Once I'd cropped the image to a suitable size, I did a bit of calculating to figure oout how much room I'd need for three images to sit side by side.
Leaving a bit of extra room for a border and spacing between the three, I created a new image at the size I'd calculated.
Then in the original image, I cleaned the image up, desaturated it, applied a Cutout filter to the point that most of the detail was contrasted out, then applied a Halftone Paper filter.
Next, I copied the image into the file image I'd created earlier.
Once I was happy with the image I duplicated it into three seperate layers, and applied a coloured Fill Layer to each.
Then it's just a matter of merging the three images (once spaced appropriately) and getting the background layer colour sorted.
Finally I cropped the image where necessary and flattened it.
That's it ;)

Candid Shots
This one was taken in Beijing last year on the walk back to the hotel. It's great if you can capture people at their most relaxed.
Next up I'll be attempting a little photo-art. I've got hold of some new brushes and patterns and will be experimenting over the weekend to see what I can come up with.
