Another digital creation for my Photoshop class. This is an aircraft director on the flight deck of the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). I shot the photo on a Nikon D1 back in 2001, but I created the digitally colored file this week. I turned this into a grayscale image and then used a posterize affect in Photoshop to create my black detail. Then I inverted it to create a "negative" which I used to create clipping paths for coloring. If your not familiar with Adobe Photoshop this may all sound like jibberish, but I thought I'd include it for the techies. I kind of like it, but I don't know if it works...

Nice one James! Killer graphic! I like the amount of detail still left in the photo, yet at the same time you managed to make it look hand painted. Wicked!
