The images used: DownloadNorman mailed me two images – this was the original shot made by his son.

… and he made this out of it.

Quite impressive. I redid his work in the video and added some extras for the sky. You’ll see an other way to rotate an image, two ways to blend different versions of an image with a layer mask and a bit more about curves. I got this as a result.

Edit: Look also at the next show. I made a big blunder in this one and had to fix it in the next.
I promised some links:
Tim Jedlika shares some of his webspace to host the picture files. His gallery can be found here.
The wine.
