Here you can post anything that goes beyond simple photography (meaning simple raw conversion), be it a Photoshop composite, removal of objects, adding objects to a scene, retouching beyond skin smoothing, any other creative use of the powerful tools available to photographers. Posts have to include BEFORE and AFTER.

Kicking off with a self-portrait at UofT

Dude, have you ever considered doing a PP event for TPMG?
I'm sure you'd get a lot of interest.
Do it!

This was my first attempt ever at making a composite image. There's over 60 photos stitched together in some manner for this.
It's not something I'll be pulling out too often for a couple of reasons, the main being I don't think the end result is even photography.

Since then I've learnt how to stitch fire together much better so it doesn't look so ridiculous.

Here is something cheerful and colorful. I called it Summer Morning on Muskoka River.

I was thinking the same thing...the small chairs are casting large shadows where as the large shadowless Rhino is...
...mooning us :D
...and not casting a shadow

I had to move fast. Once the rhino arrived, I stopped worrying about the small details.

Really cool concept, I love how you used the mirrors to create multiple versions of you.

The watermark is there to protect my artistic expression and intellectual property.
Otherwise, the poachers from northern Ontario could steal the artwork and flog it on Asian market instead of the actual rhino and moose horn powder.

Hmmm...you just gave me a really funny idea. I wonder what Psy would look like as a Terminator? Gangnam-nator Style!
