Andy that water drop is nicely done. What did you use for the colors? What lens are you shooting with there?

thx, the original color was red since the bowl was red, and then i put 3 gradauted filters on it in lightroom plus other tweaks. Played with the settings just to see what would turn out. Lens was the 24-70 @ 70mm

i would love a good camera, it would make my work so much easier rather than having to hunt down images on image farms, that i have to pay for and are not ever exactly what i was envisioning for the project at hand.

Sort of a self portrait done for a local little publication that needed a picture of me awhile back.

You'd hit it....smug bastard.

Image

And with the drudging up of old shots, I'm looking around for the pic hybrid love child that GKY and myself had. I thought I had it in a special album for posterity...but I guess not. :tear:

Since there are only a handful of us left should we have one final mugshot thread to see what we have devolved into as this place approached its twilight years...? Maybe not. Or at least for an updated photoshop thread like the 'shove everyone's head into one car' picture...

New camera coming down the pipe... anyone heard of it yet? Looks to be a very cool little invention...

Quote:
...The technique is called "light field capture" which records various aspects of a light ray such as color, intensity, and direction. Regular cameras, Lytro says, merely record all the light rays without discerning the subtleties.

The result is that you can easily snap images and adjust them for focus and other attributes after the fact on your PC, according to Lytro. You can do things like switch the photo's point of focus from the foreground to the background, change the image's perspective and even switch the photo from a 2D to a 3D image...


http://www.pcworld.com/article/230966/5 ... tures.html

I think a major selling point for this will be the after-the-fact focus-point shifting. You could snag a ton of super quick photos of a sports scene and then pick the best shot later and focus it exactly how you need. Anyone got spare money for stocks? Invest in these guys.

I'd heard of that focus-shifting tech yesterday and was going to post it, but then I saw a cheeseburger and forgot everything.

I've got the receded hairline going, no baldness in the back of the head though. I actually don't shave it completely, just down to 1/8" but my hair is blonde so when its freshly shaved it looks like there is no hair there.

I prefer it for the fact that it requires zero maintenance.

I can respect that.

You should cut your hair the same length as your beard.

My nephew is a little swimming badass.

And Canon's 35mm F1.4L is my favorite lens.

That's the toning I do in lightroom - I like a warmer tone to my summertime candids.

because it's a gender specific word. Blonde is the feminine spelling, blond is the masculine and plural.

This is a composite, the originals weren't really the greatest but it is a pretty big picture. Actually my first time using lots of layers and layer masks and what not :)

I found this website called psykopaint which lets you add some nice hand-drawn painter-style effects to your photos. It only really works for the more expressionist style photos, but you can get some good results. I then brought them back into photoshop for further editing. Here is how I treated the photography on my new record:

Kinda wish I knew about this sooner, as it's much easier than hand-painting or using photoshop brushes to achieve similar effects.


That's pretty sweet, brisk!
