It's May the 4th, Star Wars Day (May the Force...May the 4th...we've been through this before). I certainly was happy to have the welcome distraction of playing with my toys. Since I haven't been going out as much, I've been trying to experiment with certain photographic techniques at home. For Star Wars Day I decided that I would try and create a lightsaber in Photoshop. I'm not a big Photoshop user, so I thought this might be a fun little project. I dusted off my old Darth Vader action figure, found a nice grey background and then proceeded to erase the plastic toy version and replace it with a somewhat more authentic representation, or that's what I hope I did. That will be up to you, the viewer, to decide. The photograph was taken at f/16, 1/200sec, ISO 100 at 70mm with some flash bounced off of the ceiling and a little bit of Photoshop work to create the lightsaber. Is it perfect? Probably not, but it was a fun try and it took my mind of of things for a couple of hours. That is priceless. May the Force be with us all.
