Challenge: Sci-Fi Celebration (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: San Diego, CA
Date: Jun 26, 2007
Aperture: 4
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/6
Galleries: Food and Drink, Science and Technology
Date Uploaded: Jun 27, 2007

 Took front, side, top pictures of Honey Maid Graham crackers and modified to suit Holo Grahams. Printed and pasted on box.
Took picture of box on diagonal tray on black velvet.
Took picture of a pile of crackers on black velvet. Set 20% transparency, cut out crackers and pasted on tray.
Used airbrush to create light cone effect.
Adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, crop.
Save for web. I couldn't find a futuristic room for a background, so you're stuck with black.
Outtake with basic editing I spent hours on before I found out multiple photos are OK was very similar.
I'm hoping to smash my personal best with a 6.0, but in Expert Editing that may be just a dream.

Well, yes! We are getting there, aren't we. I like the semi-transparent crackers, and the clever graphics on the packet. I could see this going far, like a suit which shows a hologram of a body builders physique on a thin guy, and moves as you do - or slim holo on a fatty. Good luck with this one, though

Creative idea. Not sure I like the plate floating in mid air. The composition is good but the front corner of the plate is a little distracting because it is out of focus.

interesting idea. Just for some reason the box edges are really throwing me for a look, they just don't appear very clean. The tray also seems to be the wrong style for this in my opinion. I would have liked to see these on a kitchen table or something.

Brilliant play on words and hillarious idea! â€Â¦ the tray kinda distracts but almost just makes it more corny which is funny too. 7

It is executed well and it says future. But is future always sci-fi? In this case I guess so.
