This thread was a stroke of genious Kort!!! It saves me the trouble of making more of my stupid crap-collages.

I like this one because the sea is really smooth on one side of the harbour wall and not on the other :)

Ooooooo, Rich, I like that first one..... the POV is very interesting!!!! It just begs to be played with......
LOL ;p

Andreas............all those shots are great!!!!! The first one I had to look at a long time before I realized it was a flower...... I thought it was a bumble bee on a string!!!! Hahahahah!

Okay, I have to dig up some more...... how many pages do we have to come up with?????

Wood I, would eye!!!

My back door, please ignore the shopping bags in the corner :b_blush:

I've since removed the fence.

I like that first one..... the lighting on the door is sooooooo cool!!! I say clone out the bag and post it!
I also love the deer shot.....very special moment!!!! The cat is cute with that colorful face, I hope he comes back for a visit. Not sure of the type of flower, but it's beautiful! Now I might have to check my files for some flower pics!!!! LOL ;p

Of course I don't mind, Andreas, I really like what you've done with it. Much more atmosphere and feeling.

In fact, btw, I hope that no-one thinks I would mind any constructive help (you can consider them all DITIs, LOL). Heaven knows I will welcome any help I can get!!!  I'm really not happy with any area of my photography skills, but I'm not discouraged.

Wow, speaking of a crap load of crap...I got some!  :blink:

Off to bed for me now to watch the last episodes of Family Guy and American Dad....YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbupboth:

Those are some sharp optics and a nice sensor! My moon is suffering from detail envy! :)

Well I love them both - Andreas' has detail, but Kort, yours has mood and that colour makes for a wonderful image! Good job to both of you! :thumbupboth:

LOL, thanks for the pep talk! ;] You are quite the ambassador.

Just the truth matey, no more, no less!!! :biggrin:

this one was an "outtake" from the other afternoon of camera frollicking... it seemed they were competing with each other - the tips of their wings crossed at the back and sometimes "bowing" to reveal their full body and sometimes their backside to the other... then they just did this squarking at each other and went in unison towards the waves both doing the same.  I thought it was quite amusing sat about 4 metres away from all this happening (with my camera pointed at them snapping away).

edit - yeah i forgot to mention - the other guy made himself scarce as they were moving towards him  "if i duck low and move out the way, maybe they wont notice me"

I´ll have you know that i didn´t even touch the saturation slider.....there are other ways to increase color. :tt2: LOL@your shot. Are they taunting him? Poor gull.

hehe - no they seemed to be competing against each other - initially i thought it might lead to violence and a cool action shot but then realised they were just showing off.  Maybe it was dominance over female rights or something, the other guy was just there (maybe she is the girl they were after).

Oh - so what did you do? duplicate layers and blend modes?

Just for the record: i did try using two lenses laid down like this in unison - it didnt work too well :biggrin:

Hi Rich.I'm not sure what idea you had originally,but if it were mine,I'd redo the shot so it was sharper,etc....Then I'd take another shot but of my eye,separate it from it's bg,liquify it,to distort it slightly,and then composite it into the center of the first pic,so you have an eye looking through a lens metaphorically looking at an eye in another lens...But hey,that's just me.LOL.

Since there's not much other subjects I shoot these days I'll post the subject I have been shooting

Now that made me laugh, too!!! What a cutie!!

Ice cream? I want some too! :)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!Now that's one happy face!!!That would be my favorite subject, too.Thanx for the smile.  :^)

Cake actually :)
It was his first birthday :P

That's the same way I eat cake!!

haha - that second shot is better - more context and definitely a scene i can relate to (having seen videos of me eating as a child).  :) i love the bit of cream on the side of his head :biggrin:

Marlene - you could actually do it by just putting someone's eye infront of the other lens... that sigma logo was the lens cap focused through the other lens. That was the idea i was playing with - and you are welcome to give it a try  Tho you have to use a low aperture to get the dof to make everything in focus so you know what you are looking at :)

Yeah,but that wouldn't be as much fun...lol.

MUST....EAT...GIANT...MOUTHFUL! Too funny. ;)

Can´t let the thread die people!!! Keep posting anything!!!!!

These are just some drop-shots that came out pitiful but at the time when i took them i thought they were quite okay....now i just wanna puke when i see them, lol.
