These two photos are heavily photoshopped. The first photo is not one, but two images combined together, and on both of them the background has been tampered with. I shot these some years ago when I was hired to do some shooting for a film festival called Bollywood Filmfest in Oslo.
I don’t have a lot to say about these photos, so I’ll let the images do the talking (click for larger versions):

– Our fellow blogger Mr. Frizzie at flickrcomments arranges this thing he calls the A-Z archive. This week his theme in the A-Z Archive is the “P! challenge“, and since these images are photoshopped I thought I’d join his “P! challenge” – P as in Photoshopped.

These are very beautiful images that you have created. I brought Photoshop a few months ago and still don’t know how to use it. I even have two books that I got to help me, with no luck. Finally decided just to use trail and error method. Maybe someday I will be able yo do what you did. Ha Ha! Some people have it, some don’t.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I used Photoshop daily back in the days when I had an interesting job. That was before the “internet bubble” or the “dot-com bubble”.
I’ve continued photoshopping since then, but not professionally.
The trial & error method can be great, but if you really want to learn some techniques I recommend that you buy a book with a CD, or follow some tutorials.
There’s lots of free tutorials online.
As challenged as Francine 🙂 So whatever you are saying is Latin to me! The results are wonderful!

Good job Cardinal!
Thanks Margie. Please invite me to the next rendezvous with seafood 😀
Stunning and vivid, I like how you captured the richness of the colours with your work.
Thanks Ms. SMCWrites. It was a colourful film festival to be a part of.
Is it called High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining at least two more photos?
No, it’s not HDR. HDR is used to enhance the colours. I’ve combined shots to add movement in the photo. You can read a good article about HDR in this excellent photo blog: http://www.unframedworld.com – What is HDR-photography?
Oh, I see…thank you very much for the explanation. 🙂
I’ll check the link. 🙂
Great photoshop. I haven’t gotten near that yet, it sounds daunting to me. These photos are great!
There’s no reason to be scared of Photoshop – it’s a photographers friend 🙂
Nice images of the colourful dancers 🙂

I love Bollywood movies especially the dance sequences… 😉
I’m finally catching up but will have to come back and comment later on other/ future posts. Thanks for your patience! 🙂
I used to enjoy Bollywood movies too, but (sadly) after you’ve seen a few you know them all.
hope to see it again in our second “B” challenge 🙂
