If the powers that be don't mind, perhaps we can use this thread for those images which simply don't fit a particular aircraft, place or event or images pushed to well out on the bleeding edge of creative vision.
A few words about each image might be of help to those who view these "one off" creations...
Long Slow Decent .. Porterville, CA .. April, 2015
Very neglected aircraft of unknown type.
Image began life as five bracketed frames shot through a gaping hole in the fuselage fabric. I blended them through the new HDR feature in Lightroom CC and then washed that file through Photoshop to use Viveza and Silver Effex Pro.

Looks like a motorcycle got loose on the runway in this pic. 8)
Cool stuff Jay, and I like the idea of this thread.

Those are very, very cool, Vance!
Thank you Matt. I don't have a clue how he transformed my motionless stills into a believable flight image. Tony is a digital Wizard.

I don't have any idea how he did it either, but he did an amazing job.
That is some fine "re-animation" work. The only telltale clue would be the reflections of the museum structures.
Thanks Matt and Jay. The reflections are a give away, but just slightly. I was absolutely stunned when Tony showed me what he had done with the my images. They really have been re-animated through his wizardry. Thanks again guys.
Put the stylus down and slowly back away....

Loving these creations Jay.
Thanks. Just letting the pixel dust fall where it may on these...

While probably not quite what Jay was intending with this thread, it's the closest I could find that looked fitting. While the previous images take us on a visit to the past, thought I'd throw in one option of what might happen...some day.

Nice repaint Dave.

Never thought I'd have anything worthwhile to post to this thread, but I was going through my 'OV-10 Stuff' box tonight (everyone has one of those, right?) and came across a series of 'Wee OV' drawings I did in the late 90s. If I recall correctly, the process I used on these was that I hand-drew an original outline, scanned it in, then printed it out, did the color and markings with PrismaColor markers, then did the fine-line markings with an ultra-fine gel pen on top of it. The biggest problem I had was that I made them too small, so even the finest tip on the PrismaColors made anything I wrote with them look like a first-grader wrote it with a crayon. Had I doubled the size, I could have gotten far more detail, and bleeding wouldn't have been nearly as problematic (I did a NASA OV-10 that bled like crazy and looks horrible).
Aaaaand one more.
This one isn't very good, but of interest because I drew it using a photo Scott Youmans had taken of a Bureau of Land Management OV at Sky Harbor back in the 90s.
Those are very cool Joe....
So Joe was "Blackheart" before Blackheart was Blackheart...
Nice!
Pretty cool, Joe!

Call it a Wingsnstuff Photoshop Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) :-). Here's the BEFORE and AFTER
When are you opening a virtual body shop?
S.C.
;D Wouldn't that be a hoot! Fix it on the computer and it automatically translates to the physical object. All the best to you Scott and the rest of the AZAP group. Maybe I can hook up with you all again this coming August when Susie and I make our pilgrimage back to Arizona from South Carolina. I do miss going out on the photo shoots with you all. :'(
One of those "I wonder......" ideas....

Inspired by Mike Kelley's work "Wake Turbulence," I tried to create my own version. Didn't come out exactly how I wanted to, but still pretty happy. Guess I gotta go back.....
