Challenge entry for week 3: [url=http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1362849/tp/1/]Digital March Challenge (Week 3)[/url]

Non-Human.

I was working for days on another theme for this one and then Oletta came up with something similar to my idea of doing a road trip theme, so I wanted to find another theme. I decided on doing this one and realized that I had way too much available in stock photo's I've taken. But this is a subset of the collection of photo's I've taken over the last two years, most in the last two months actually.

1. Sunset shadow on Aladdin in Las Vegas.
2. Stick pin in my desk at work.
3. I-90 going east in the evening just pass North Bend, WA (while driving with one hand inside car).
4. Bolt head at playground we took kids to yesterday.
5. Seattle City Lights and I-5, 4 second exposure from parking garage at Amazon.com (I liked how this curved the top set into the bottom set of pictures)
6. Wine glasses on tray in my dining room with sun shining through.
7. Dolphins at Mirage in Vegas.
8. Polished stone bench with reflection of building on top (I love this picture because nobody knows what it is unless I tell them).
9. Bored waiting for my take out order to be ready and liked the hues.


Interestingly enough, none of the shadows are layer style "drop-shadows". I actually wanted a multi-lightsource effect that draws you into the middle so all the shadows are "multiply" blends of the layer above scaled down slightly and possibly blurred to soften the edges. But when doing a layout about light, you have to go with the flow and let the 2D nature of images convey 3D space.

All of this is done inside Photoshop Elements 3.0
