Susan is the artist, botanical stuff. One day I might persuade her to let me photograph one.

 

[Darren Turner]

from the last 2 shot it looks like you walked into a sex shop to me ROB

What on earth are they ?

Daz

 

[Glen Roberts]

I don't know what's going through your mind Daz but they are only paint brushes!!!.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yeah, Daz, what's going on in that brain of yours?! Paint brushes they are...

 

[Darren Turner]

oooooooo yes so they are "Paint Brushes" LOL i didn't have a clue what they were & studied picture for an hour & still couldn't work it out.........i think i need a holiday hahaha

 

[Allan Batchelor]

hmm seriously worrying about you Daz been in the hills with the sheep too long

I really like the shop pne Rob very subtle but to the point

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Love the paint brushes, nice repeating theme

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, those 'adult entertainment aids' are very nice Rob, but the interior shot is my favourite. I reckon it would be worth doing a bit of correction of perspective in PS as it is a very atmospheric image. Your lady-wife at the counter?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Poor Darren. Will he ever live it down?

Yes, Susan stocking up on coloured pencils. She is doing a botanical art course.

So, what do you mean about the perspective, Pete? And how should I fix it?

I can see it is kind of leaning backwards...

 

[Pete Askew]

Not if we can hep it!!

I tend to do any corrections like this in PS and I use Edit/Transform/Distort.

First select the whole image with the rectangular marquee tool. Then Edit/Transform/Distort. Apply a grid to help (Ctrl + ' or Command + ') and drag to corners etc of the image to give a correct perspective. To correct click on the marquee tool or crop tool and accept transformation.

For Example:

Subtle, but it really does make a difference. Yet again I'm in your debt, young man

I've never used that technique before, but will remember it. Many thanks. This forum is the best!

 

[Pete Askew]

You're welcome Rob, especially for the 'young man' bit!!
