Another one that requires a bit of both: shooting and post-processing.

Your task this week is to create a 3-piece storyboard: one larger composite consisting of three pictures, a large frame and a title (your copyright can be there too).

Your three pictures could be sequential, could be a parts of a pano, or their relationship could be even more loose. However, there should be something that unite them all, as well as the title.

No need to jump over your head to make PS create the realistic mattes and frame, but some attention in that direction will be appreciated.

If you decide to get creative (like going vertical, or using differently sized images with non-grid layout) - please, submit a good simple one first and then go ballistic.

One storyboard per entry (multiple entries are OK). Fresh pictures only. PS-wise: go as your heart desires, just don't go overboard with it.

For the rest of the rules, please consult with this sticky.

Let's get some story going!

Please check Jeff's entry, the end result should look like that.

So, I was shooting at a miniature golf course out of necessity to get out of the house and not go too far.

I didn't use any filters, just some lightroom presets that I tweaked a bit to get the outrageous colors. I hope everyone gets the joke.

While you are it, I suggest to resize the last one, so the size of the main flask matches the first two images (currently it's slightly bigger)...

Different orientation, just to be...er...different.

From a shoot in a creepy nature preserve last weekend.

(Sorry if you had to scroll!)

Still too small for you? Check out the original photos here.

Yes Nikolai. I know you are right but I don't know how to place 3 pictures in one and I don't feel like Googling and so, for that purpose.

This n pictures in one doen't attract me ...

It was done automatically with Automate/Contact sheet...

Huumm... May be later I will try ...

For advanced framing here are few steps one can try:

Create a new image with the target dimensions
(optional - extra credit) Add a bg image, free transform to fill the canvas, levels to make it high key, opacity low to make it very barely visible. Also add some gradient over mask to create a diagonal visiblily shift.
Add the target images
Resize, crop and arrange the target images to their final positions
Merge the tree image layers into one
Open this merge layer style dialog, add stroke and shadow (and whatever else you want)
That's all folks!
