Great shot Fiore. Just one question. How is Santa going to fit that monstrosity in you stocking? Big feet?

Great effect Josh.

i used a filter in CS3 aswell as a black&white conversion

Guess how many gadgets I used to get this shot

What can I say? I'm a shady character - paparazzi lurking in the shadows

TRIED OUT THE NEW 25MP CAMERA FOR A TEST DRIVE TODAY, SHIRLEY AND I WENT TO APS MILL NEAR BRANTFORD, DECIDED TO DO A SELF PORTRAIT OF US WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL,

Self Portrait using shutter release cable, single flash and reflector. The flash was too strong and put too much spill into the room so I had to darken the background in PS CS3 to get the effect I wanted. First processed in LR2 including B&W conversion.

Thanks Steve ... It's a preset plug in for Lightroom called Surreal Edgy Effect, then I slightly over sharpened the image and darkened the edges. If you would like the preset plug-in let me know and I will email it to you. I'm thinking of creating a plug-in gallery were members can download plug-ins and post ones they have created too.

James, Very cool effect. How did you do it? Steve
