Rob is not only an awesome twister, but a fantastic photographer, so I tried to make this last photo of mine a bit more creative.

It is a friends birthday today. He is a great Dr Who fan, and often likens his flat to the Tardis due to the amount of junk in it, so I made the tardis for him.

I seem to remember Rob made a tardis, and photo shopped it flying through space. Rather than photo my tardis just standing there, this was the route I went for. Not knowing anything about photoshop, I pinned a black sheet to my bedroom wall, and hung the balloon in front of it .....well space is black !

I then made three loops of clear 160s to make a kind of wormhole thing, and sellotaped them to the sheet, and got the photo. It needed a bit of adjustment, so I took the brightness down to make the background sheet more even, and brought the contrast up to bring out the tardis.

It still needed a bit more, so I used "paint" on my laptop to add the stars, and then Hey Presto....this is how it came out.

Thank you Rob for your inspiration  :D  :D
Kind regards
Kevin

I think the wormhole thing adds to the design Kevin.
