Blueprint

[Didache]

Hi all

This is something I did not too long ago which has been sitting in my files.

It's the National Maritime Museum in London, blended with a blueprint effect I devised.

Cheers
Mike

Great fun. I love it. Interesting idea and well executed. No ideas for improvement.

Great idea Mike and it works very well.

[F. Javier Gil]

That looks great!

Great idea and it works!

I like the idea Mike. One thing I think you should have measurements instead of letters though. The idea is unique and the processing is top notch.

Cool shot Mike, I wonder how it would look if the background on the right was a bit more textured blue.

Cool stuff! I stumbled onto this process myself about a week ago while trying to do something else and when I get some free time, may explore it further, though it lends itself much more to architecture and mechanical subjects than fashion

What a terrific photo - what is there not to like!

You are amazing.

Many thanks for all your kind words

Greg - version 1 did in fact have measurements. The problem was that it looked rather cluttered. The letters were a compromise to make it look less so.

Roger - nice to see you .. we must get in touch one of these days. Are you ever up in town?

jetrim - you know, I never considered trying it with a mechanical item. You have made my mind start working (always a risky thing!)

everyone else - thank you.

Cheers
Mike

A whole new "dimension" to using a lens with no distortion !!

Very creative !

Clever and creative, Mike. Love the effect and the blend is very good.
my nitpik here is that since this is a sort of architectural/precision type image given the straight on shot of the building and the blueprint added i feel the left side of the building should be straight with the frame here. Right now its tilting in a bit from distortion. I would just like to see everything perfectly straight for this particular rendering.

Yep, i have seen this done with mechanical objects and its quite interesting

Great idea and execution, Mike

I'm pretty sure there is an effect like this in filter forge, but I'm curious of how this was done.

Yep. Really cool shot. Would it be better with just a slight hint of the photo showing under the blueprint?

I like it a lot it's interesting
