Alien Schtick Men

[Matt K.]

Was trying filters out in PhotoShop. Got excited. Used two differnt images (though they look very much alike at first glance, but if you look at the drum sticks and thumb position ), mirrored one and shtuck them on the same canvas. Then I went berzerk. Images were taken with ISO 3200 @ 1/40th, f 4.5 with the kit lens that came with the camera. Oh well Oh, and I had no idea where in these threads to shtick this image ...

Definitely a cool effect.

Thanks for your comments. Funny, actually: I belong to the Foothills CAmera Club here in Calgary. Greg draged me into this. So I attended a couple of meetings, then I decided to enter the first competition open to me. It was a digital creative competition. I entered two images, one of which got an "honorable mention", the other one won first price. So in my first competition I took tow ribbons home. Then came the drought and none of my images ever came close to winning. No big deal, since I do this for the fun of it. Anyway, here is the Honorable Mention image, the forerunner to the Schtick Men.
