About the Image(s)
This was a concept that I had that may not be very good in my execution. I had a Lume Pad 1 3D image of a Train in a museum display case and a Red Hydrogen 1 3D image of my back yard in Autumn used in another photo "experiment".
I converted the back yard image into a night scene using a Color Look Up Table (LUT) in Photoshop. And then overlayed the Train with a opacity of about 35%. Next there was bunch of cloning in SPM and blurring in PhotoShop with a lot of trial and, mostly, error. It is a dark image but it is supposed to be at night and that's when ghosts are most active. ;)
It may not work very well but it was fun to play with and I got to discover Color LUT's in Photoshop.

You obviously has a lot of fun generating this image but sorry overall it is too dark and all I could initially see was a very faint headlight, the rest of your train is lost Posted: 12/07/2024 20:47:54
Dark- yes, but that is the mood for a ghost train. I wonder if the light might be brighter for a scary ghost - and some ghost tracks in the under brush? Interesting 3D image. Posted: 12/13/2024 00:26:41
Interesting composite. Overall the background image look a little dark compared to the ghost train. May be you can add glowing headlight to the train. Good trial. Posted: 12/21/2024 18:14:56
