Manic Movie Monday

Spent a while on Friday night trying to get a half decent photo of a heron. Not a keen lover of birds but herons make a great model for a newbie wildlife photographer as they tend to stay still for long periods of time.

This one didn’t want to co-operate though and insisted moving and making me cross a bridge over and over again. My goal is to one day have a photo of a heron in flight, no wait, I have loads of them. My goal is to get a photo of a heron in flight, and in focus.

But anyhoo, thats not what todays blog is about…

Inspiration

Recreating something is a great way to learn Photoshop. It can be quite shocking too! I recently saw a poster for a Ghost Walk at a castle that had no more than an outer glow, emboss and a blurred cloud layer.

Ok, before you lynch me, I know it is the design that is important not the execution, and for that reason I believe that designers are under valued. (Phew, I think I might just have gotten away with it)

Leading on from Planet Photoshop’s tutorial, here are some links to movie poster sites, with a few of my favorites.

 

Have a great Monday, see you tomorrow!
