+Western Mass Clan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi all! I occasionally enjoy creating a fun Photoshopped pic for a cache I particularly enjoyed. It is especially fun to do it when the cache has some kind of theme. I'm creating this thread as a place for people to post their fun photoshop chops that have made their way onto cache logs or cache pages. Here are a few of mine: "Yep ... this must be the one I'm looking for" Posted for THIS CACHE "The Hint" Posted as a hint for THIS PUZZLE CACHE OF MINE " It's always nice to run into other geocachers!" Posted in my log for THIS LORD OF THE RINGS THEMED SERIES IN INDIANA "The truth comes out." Posted as a tongue-in-cheek note in my CHECK & MATE! PUZZLE CACHE "Scary. Really scary." Me poking fun at one of our local FTF hounds. This was after the FTF on Check & Mate! (three months after it was published). Will he stop at NOTHING TO SIGN THE LOG??? "Sing it again, Jim!" A tongue-in-cheek posted note for my puzzle cache BACK HOME AGAIN IN INDIANA. Jim Nabors traditionally sing's "Back Home Again in Indiana" before the Indy 500 (for those who don't get the reference). Finally ... one of my favorites. This is a part the cache page image for my puzzle cache Cache Bot™. (Notice that it's the same background as the Nazgul pic above.) Looking forward to seeing other cacher's submissions! To keep this thread on topic, please limit your chops to those you've posted in logs or on cache pages. Thanks! Matt Quote Link to comment
+Mule Ears Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Fun pics! Here's mine. After many (mostly happy) hours working toward the final stage of a challenge cache that required piecing together clues obtained from five mountaintop caches, I reached the end of my quest... Quote Link to comment
+Speedowl Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have a series of Bigfoot caches in the U.P. of Michigan. Here is a photo one of the finders posted on the cache page. I thought it was really creative like yours. GC140CB Bigfoot Sighting 1984 (Sasquatch) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...2f-f25312c5834c Quote Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Here's a quick photochop job I did for one of my caches. I expressed annoyance at people calling my current hometown "Stark Vegas", so what did they do, they just started using the term more often to bug me . When our city put up some tacky welcome signs, I hid this cache in tribute to the name I love to hate. Apparently everybody else thought the sign was tacky, too, because the city recently tore it down and is rebuilding it. Quote Link to comment

I like it! If only you could post an audio clip of an angelic choir striking a harmonious chord to go along with it! Quote Link to comment

+mtn-man Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 One of the original and one of my most favorite cachers who would stretch a photo to two is Zartimus. He caches in a Batman suit for real. No shopping of photos needed in his profile If you see him in the Batman suit, that is him for real. I do, however, question his methods for getting to some of the harder to reach caches... Somehow, I am guessing that he might have toasted his Batboots a bit getting to that cache. Maybe he should not have eaten that extra 27 cans of pork and beans for lunch before going for that cache. Still, my *most favorite* photo of all time is this one from November of 2003. Obligatory Trundling Pic! A tradition! Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I love doing this kind of stuff. I posted this one the other day. It's my most recent: That was a fun cache. I found this one out at GeoWoodstock VI: This was taken on a very cold day of caching: That's actually the cache container I'm holding. A very cool puzzle cache: I did a whole series of these for my log on this cache I did this after some of us walked to a 5-star terrain cache: And I did this one for koneko to explain how she got to a very difficult cache: I also have several pictures from some "paranormal" caches that have been...ummm...fixed. It's a lot of fun and I get a lot of great emails from people who enjoy them. Quote Link to comment
+victorymike Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Here is one my sister and I did for the T&A Warrior Women: Tulip O'Hare travel bug. Made a great story to go with it too. Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My original avatar from Jim Warren's bizzare art Went through several modifications over the next 4 years Who here remembers CRR? And the subsequent request to remove it from the avatars? Quote Link to comment
+infiniteMPG Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Found Everyone's A Little Goofy TB in Key West and didn't realize until we were back to the hotel that his head was missing... so I doctored some pictures of him getting an addaheadtome -add-a-head-to-me (with Mickey as the doc and that's really the headless TB, photo shopped, we didn't have an small operating table and a Mickey doll) : And then we were looking for doners so added this potential donor image : We thought it was pretty cute. We ended up replacing the headless Goofy with a new one and moved him along. We still have the headless Goofy we've been tempted to make into a new TB Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) My photoshop pics are are blends and masks rather than "chops." Alright, I made my first silly photoshop chop. Edited June 21, 2008 by Kit Fox Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Good stuff! You'd probably enjoy these old photoshop threads. They're not posted to logs, but still fun. Someone ought to revive those contests... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Some of mine from those threads: (can't find the thread for that last one. Sure did see some interesting old topics though!)

+Kit Fox Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I spent about twenty minutes playing with this photochop. Quote Link to comment
Atrus Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I sometimes enjoy making up Photoshopped pictures to post to a cache, more than actually finding the cache! Well, not really, but it IS fun. Here are a few I made to go on a cache we put out for some good friends of ours, Papermanone & Catlover: A Tribute. Anyone care to join our friends in doing the "Chicken Dance" while wading IN the pool in front of the Taj Mahal? Kind of gives new meaning to the "Earth Cache!" And everyone should get a few minutes in the limelight. ------------------------------------------------------- Another local geocacher put out a whole series of 101 Dalmatian Puppies, each one "representing" a local geocacher. Naturally, I had to be a little different and just ran with the NAME, found a famous person, put a 60CSx in their hand and made up some stupid story about how they never left home without their trusty Garmin. Kathy Ireland was always one of my favorites, and (even if I'm showing my age,) I still enjoyed putting a GPS in her hand... (Twice!) Here's the log I posted to the pupply named "Dale..." Dale Earnhardt was a NASCAR racing legend. I still don't understand why he was considered so great. Even with his Garmin 60CSx loaded with the latest map set, AND with full auto-routing capabilities, he never could find his way directly to the FINISH line! He always seemed to be "lost," and kept driving around in circles, trying to find it! Sometimes he'd drive around for HOURS, and up to 500 TIMES before he"d finally find it! Sheesh! Maybe he never read the 60CSx instruction manual! And for "Dennis..." For Edward, I used a picture of Edward G. Robinson. In the original, he was actually holding a "candlestick" telephone... For Spyder, For "Cassie," I was at a loss. Guess I'd just have to make something up, so I logged: Cassi-opeia is a constellation in the northern sky, which if lined up properly, two stars will point to the navigational constellation, "Garmin." Using these two stars from Cassi-opeia to locate, Garmin" was one of the most primative forms of navigation. Once the constellation, "Garmin" is located, all navigation from that point becomes, "So easy, even a caveman could do it." I really enjoy Photoshop. I just hope that someday I'll get GOOD with it!

slopitch Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 what is the easiest way to get a photo into a post - I am not sure about URLs Quote Link to comment
Shiraz-mataz Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Here's a picture of a Klingon Bird of Prey traveling cache (quasi-travelbug) wreaking havoc on an aircraft on display at a museum. I was holding up the TB with a stick and had to erase the stick from the picture and then add the photon torpedos. It's from the archived cache found here: GC1E22 Quote Link to comment
+Civic Doodie Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Not on an actual log, but currently serving as my profile picture... I have photoshopped out my father-in-law from a picture. You know, just to clean it up. Quote Link to comment
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A little fun here by gvsu4msu on a Walmart cache we did recently. Here are his compadres for the evening all camoed up for the LPC grab: Quote Link to comment
+gvsu4msu Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This one is from our 900th cache find: (I forgot to bring the camera on a night caching run for the photo - so I made one) Here is one where the Cache was renamed for the FTFers (SuperFly, gvsu4msu, and The Conman) - Thus it is now known as Abracadabra - Super GVSU Man Here are some logos we created before the whole "commercial content" thing got heated up a few months back: Here is a special label we made for our special caches known as "LEEocaches". Enjoy - and thanks for the thread. Quote Link to comment

+mtn-man Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Oh yeah... avatar pics...

+robgso Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This was created for the cache description page for a recently published hide of mine. Take a Hike! GC1CY4P Quote Link to comment
+DocDiTTo Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 That's my best side showing under the rock. SD Rowdies photoshopped the face onto the rock, which is actually covering an old WWII bunker. It's part of a cache near San Diego that I found back in 2006. The original photo is here Quote Link to comment
