 3 shots went in to this, I'm just learning photoshop so I hope it is worthy!! Anyway shot #1 drive in, #2 graveyard, #3 a self-portrait. I used sevral differnt layers and filters on each picture. #1 - Darken and changed the contrast and saturation, then used a layer mask on the screen. #2 applied a low contrast to make it almost black and white then applied transparancy to allow the texture of the screen to show. #3 - changed the color and darkened the image, then applied "glowing lines" filter to give effect. Again applied a transparance to allow the texture of the screen to show through. The result was a fun little tribute to the drive in!

The false-colour editing was a popular sci-fi effect in those days, but unfotunately I don't really like it.

I like the colors and the rows of poles. The one closest to the camera seems a little out of focus. Other then that great shot.

Nice concept, decent image overall... but for some reason it just doesn't pull together enough for me. Not sure if I love or hate the floating screen, but, the old style on the window speakers really just throw off a floating screen.

I love that the Zombie movie is playing to an empty drive-in. It adds to the creepiness factor.

Well, if the zombies are from Mars, then why are they in an earthen cemetary? Nice job on the photo though. But the title is too much....
