Before and after "Evil Superman"

This is my Superman Hot Toys that I photographed (again) a couple of weeks ago.
I wanted to see if I could change the collectible into the Evil Superman from Superman III using Photoshop, and this how it turned out.

The movie-accurate Superman collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Christopher Reeve as The Man of Steel.

Liquid skull

I needed to test my Einstein flashes to freeze motion today, and that worked fine. Einstein good :)
I have a couple of ideas I'm gonna do later with different liquids.

The liquid is milk with some color added. This picture was made just for fun because I liked the first shot and how the milk behaved. It looked nice I think.

The first shot.

Here I removed my hand and the bowl using masks and added some more milk from other shots.
Changed the color of the milk using Hue/Saturation and added a light in the eye using Knoll Light.

Camera Raw

You can use Camera Raw to recover and retrieve information in your pictures. You can also retouch, change colours, straighten, crop, sharpen, reduce noise and so on.
Experiment with Camera Raw, and you will find new and cool ways to do quick edits on your pictures.
Well, that's my opinion :)

I visited this place again yesterday to find an angle for a picture I am going to shoot later this summer. The guy in the picture is me taking a picture with my iPhone. I had my Canon 5D Mark II on a tripod when shooting this.

Click on the pictures for bigger view and better browsing (without text).
