Nice.

I think you need to make the ground underneath the jeep darker depending where the source of light is.

Very nice and love the Jeep!

You definitely have quite the photoshop talent! I'd be interested in seeing the originals, because quite frankly, I think you went to the moon by the looks of it

Awesome stuff.

Awesome stuff.

Haha! each one of the major edits took a couple hours each, so "to the moon" fits well. lol
Check out below imma post some of the originals and processes.

LOL the blue of the last and first image is the real color.

Fellow jeeper?

You noticed?

Sadly, I don't even own a Jeep anymore...

Two kids meant that I didn't have the budget to keep them running like they should, so I sold them... That seemed better than letting them rust.

Here are a couple of the originals and a little step process of one.


A shot of the 3 original exposures, the HDR, and the Edit.

-----------------------------

Here is a little timeline of the process of the volcano:

1) Original Photo
- This is the original single exposure photo.
(too many images so click to view)

2) HDR Image
- This is an HDR that was created using three shots. -2,0,+2.
(too many images so click to view)

3) Sky Cutout
- I originally knew i was going to cutout the sky and just put in some clouds. So i spent time doing this.
- Its important you dont go cheap and just try to use the magic wand for everything. I spent quite a while using the lasso/polly tool to cut it all out.
- Also add a 1px feather because it helps blend.

4) Landscape / Sky
- Next was to add the background. This is where the whole Volcano idea came in.
- Google images is your friend.
- The background has actually been edited a bit because all that smoke wasn't coming from the top of that mountain so i shopped it to come out the top of it.

5) Lava Stuff
- I wanted to get some "lava" stuff into the shot so i found all these separate pieces and placed them in different areas.
- They are placed behind the original layer but on top of the background layer.
- Blending it all was not so fun!

6) Heat Glow
- Needed to add some red glow to help with the "heat" effect.
- Added red to the sky and to the rock/hill below the lava stuff.

7) More Heat!
- Also added some red glow to parts of the Jeep.
- Dash, Rollbar, Rear, and Hood.
- I know it isn't very accurate but it works.

8) More Lava Baby!
- The sides in front and back of the jeep seemed too plain.
- Time to add some flowing lava to the scene.
- Two images I found and blended in.

9) Jeep Touchup
- Based on some criticism I received, I touched up the Jeep some to help it blend overall in the scene..

10) Bring the Heat!
- Added an overall red tint to the entire image to bring it all together.
