Today’s Action Chanel 5 in-computer forecast: 90% chance of fake showers.
I wonder if I could ‘make it rain’ with ‘fake 100 dollar bills’?
Totally Kidding. There’s no need to alert those rather humorless dudes at the Treasury Department. Again.

I love the atmospheric quality this has. It just has such an interesting feeling to it. Sort of an eery calm. Did you take this one the time we went there with your parents or was it another time?
Thank you, Annabelle –
it was before that… the weather wasn’t very nice (but only bad enough to make everything flat). Thank goodness for Photoshop. And Spray-bottles. 🙂
This’d make a superb movie poster for a horror film. Annabelle is so right — creeeeepy.
Thanks, Dishy!
Dun dun dun!!!
That’s my go-to horror music.
I’m going to have it in my head all day, now. 🙂
That is a creepy blair witch kinda shot.
I hope my nose isn’t running…
🙂
In case you didn’t notice I think you put the film in the camera backwards…
And I held the camera upside down, too… so the fact this turned out right-side-up must mean… DRAT!
🙂
Can you hear the lambs Clarice 😦
HA!
Quid pro quo, F.L.
🙂
You’re telling me there is no rain that photo or did I read you wrong?
Great pic. Now I just need a rear-view mirror to read it 😉
You got it, sir…
I added the rain later (thought this one would look a bit more interesting that way).
Be sure to keep in mind the objects will also be closer than they appear that way. 🙂
What?! WHAT?! I thought you meant it was fake, but then I thought there was no way it’s fake. So now I have to guess that there’s the Bechyne layer and a more recent water-sprayed glass layer. No, I shouldn’t guess. Photoshop is still a mysterious thing to me for the most part. But I did make my first mask today. Cookin’!
You’re very close – (I’ve done that before)
This time I re-photographed a hard copy through a wet piece of acrylic. The texture can be added in Photoshop, too – but this way each drop of water reflects a bit of the image.
Mask on, U.M.! 🙂
That’s odd. My blog link isn’t in my name in that last comment… and I suspect this one two. Odd indeed.
Fixed and fixed, sir!
🙂
Thanks Sig. I figured out the problem. I was logged into WordPress.com, so my profile was being pulled from there instead of my self-hosted site.
Thanks for the fix. 🙂
No problem, sir!
That happens to me ALL the time! 🙂
It’s in code! I can’t figure it out!
It’s a neat, moody piece, though. Whatever it means.
Hahaha
anks-tee, inky-Bee!
🙂
This is one of your best. This could be a horror movie poster.
Thanks very much, G.G. –
I tried to promote it to the “Snakes on a Plane” people, but…
🙂
Very nice. Good and contrasty as I like them. Those letters reversed look a bit Russian, eh? And thanks for sharing how you made it rain, you clever and inventive man.
Thank you, S.E. – I’m glad you liked it! It seemed a bit flat ‘out of the camera’. And you’re not too far off… it’s a Czech name (well, a backwards one, anyway)! 🙂
You’re really good at creating atmospheric productions. The generational loss from ‘doing it’ old school instead of in Photoshop alone adds to the mystery. Another winner my friend.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Mr. J!
It seems (for me, anyway) that the more things I do / effects I can create pre-Photoshop the better my editing goes / the more successful it seems. 🙂
Clever! Gives me the sense of watching an old film in a worn-down theatre…
Thanks, M.P. – I knew I wore my old usher’s hat for some reason! 🙂
For a gloomy looking picture you still manage to describe in in the most jolly way. I too am surprised that the raindrops were fake! Three cheers for highly modified digital photographs!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Some day I hope to do more analogue work – although digital definitely has it’s advantages as well. I think a combination of both worlds is always fun to explore! 🙂
I love this photo. You process your images very well. I really like the added rainy lens affect. Really made it moody. In all, the photograph itself is really great. Good stuff.
Thank you so much, Chasiti – I really appreciate the kind words!
My excessive editing has a lot to do with the fact my stuff looks just AWFUL straight out of the camera! How embarrassing!
🙂
