And, as long as we're on the topic .... sometimes I frankly don't know WHERE to post some of my stuff. I mean, if I do a lot of post work on something, is it still a photograph?? Case in point ... my gallery image for today. I started with a photo, but there must be 15 post work steps on this thing. I originally posted it in photography, but then changed my mind and posted it as a "2D". But to be honest, I haven't a clue what to call it or how to pigeonhole it. Then, there's my "Experimental Texture" image that I created using the chaoscope program, and PSP, then put on a cube and rendered from inside the cube (with the camera pointed at a corner of the cube). I guess that's a Bryce image, but again, I really haven't a clue. I suppose that's why I like it when the artist gives me a hint as to what programs they used and how much post work they did or didn't do. Not because it changes what I think of the image as a whole, but so I have an idea of the technical difficulty involved. And, so I can see if that work sets a standard for the program (pushing Bryce to a new level), or means that I need to fork over more $$$ for yet another program if I want to do what he/she did.

Could be worse, could be raining.
