First Photos from Greece!

.

I just came back from an unforgettable trip in Greece. I was in Athens, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos. I took more than 5000 photos. Here below are the first pictures I already selected, edited and posted (click on any of the following images to enlarge it and to know where exactly it was taken). I'll be sharing more pictures from Greece in the coming weeks/months. Thanks for watching.

Cologne Panorama (360 degrees!)
.

(click to enlarge)
.

3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (FYI, I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).

finish the whole image...

Pointillist Self Portrait

.

.

This is made with small and big colored dots on a black
background. I painted each point in CS4 with a sharp
brush. It took me roughly 2 evenings of work.

I Have Also Seen This in Paris
.

I took the initial background photo from Montmartre's hill in Paris, France and then added the 2 birds (coming from one of my photo sessions realized during a trip in England) with a huge scale contrast to give the whole scenery a surreal look... (Reminder: Every graphic element shown on my blog comes from my own production/stock and all my photos, paintings and drawings are copyrighted, thanks)
