Ghosts & Ghouls!
If you aren’t playing Manic Monday over at Crystal’s Aff the Fang, you should be – she comes up with great ideas.
This week, her challenge was to come up with a creative representation of your own ghost.
My first thought was to screen print my computer’s routing table. That would be all too poetic – my daily existence as represented by IP addresses sent wirelessly through the ether. There are probably security issues there, plus it’s not a very visually compelling picture.
So I got out the Photoshop and played, and voila – my ghost, haunting Yellowstone.
Image notes: I cut an image of myself out of a picture using the polygon select tool, feathered 5px. I inverted it, added a 30px outside glow, and reduced the layer to 60% opacity.
I then layered the waterfall image behind, selected solarize on that layer, set lighting to ‘difference’ for dark and contrasty but not too busy.
Happy Halloween!
