Ive accidentally ended up on a BTEC Level 3 photography course a bit of a surprise to find myself there as Id enrolled for Conversational Russian! :shrug: This sort of thing happens to me all the time; in this particular instance all I can say is that its a good job I happen to have a camera 
The module for this term is Experimental Photography with the emphasis on experimentation being weighted towards post processing rather than in camera.
Ive decided on the theme for my final project but could do with some Photoshop effects suggestions. Ive got a few ideas and have planned shots in mind composed with the PP Id like to apply subsequently. All final output has to have been inspired by the work of other photographers or artists and this is what Ive come up with so far:
Zoom blur - inspired by a Kos Evans shot entitled Fizz
Solarisation inspired by the work of Man Ray
Tilt shift cant recall where the inspiration came from; in my files somewhere
Selective colouring as above
Abstract mandala Katerina Drzkova/Ryo Ohwada
Triptych entrants of the POTY January competition (who will be credited, of course
)
Double exposure e.g. Lee Millers Exploding Hand
I appreciate the fact that Ive got some of the terminology wrong just my own shorthand but Im sure anyone visiting this section will know what I mean.
The foregoing list is actually more than enough as far as the lecturer is concerned but Im so enthusiastic and would really like to go the extra mile and produce a truly dazzling portfolio for my own satisfaction, not just something that will pass an exam.
If anyone has further suggestions theyd be really welcome. Thanks in advance for your help

p.s. Not for one minute asking for anyone to do the work for me or even point me in the direction of tutorials/reading material. Just name me an effect (the more the merrier) and Ill thoroughly enjoy researching it myself.
