What I would like to see for July(being summer where I live)is something beach related.What ever you find the most interesting about a beach.
Make it in any application.
Take it in a photo.
Could be shells,waves,birds or peopple on the shore.
It's about fascinating beach scenes.
Postwork is encouraged to make it very artistic.
How's that.

Great theme. There should be some possibilities for creative results from this.

DJB posted Tue, 06 July 2004 at 11:45 PM

I should have said that taking it in a photo is one option.Use any aplication.

Lovely start to the challenge. :)

bobbystahr posted Wed, 07 July 2004 at 9:45 AM

indeed...a very lovely pic

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

It is winter here in Australia and I love the beach more at this time of year no crowds heat or flies evenings are even better - watching the waves with a slight breeze and this is what I tried to capture here thanks for looking Chris :o)

Pee on it and walk away

When I was a kid it was not the beach that attracted so much as the little rock pools left behind. My usual poser figs rendered in bryce, then postworked with a combination of ps and corle photopaint.

I love to watch the waves, especially the way they foam and boil around the rocks.

OK here is my entry! I don't use much postwork on my images or anything I do. But I think this is just a beautiful scene! And yes artistic in my opinion. A photo taken at the beach! I am including the link to the original post in case you all missed it! Brenda :)

I'm enjoying this virtual vacation. Great job, everyone. This challenge has brought out wonderful images.

RimRunner posted Sat, 10 July 2004 at 12:05 AM

Nilla, you can post as many as you like, but when it comes time to vote for the images, then I'll tally each image as it's own entry. So if someone votes for one of the images, you get the points, for that image. Not that there are any prizes, except being able to select the next theme. :)

If I was Nilla I wouldn't post anymore than that.That one is a fantastic artistic shot,and to post more,might be to take votes away from that one.MHO

Well dbgrafix, you know I just love the sunrise and I live right here on the Atlantic, I don't know that I can just limit myself to only one LOL! It might make for an interesting vote!? I really am not worried about winning, I just like to try to show you some of the beauty I have seen. Maybe one more? huh? just one? giggles By the way that image (above) was taken on the West coast of Florida on one of the top ten rated beaches for vacationing! White sand, blue water and impeccably clean! goes and looks through her gallery Brenda :)

This is one I made for my little granddaughter, who is into "Little mermaid 2". Normal format for me. poser figs rendered in bryce postwork in PS

Well I couldn't resist posting this picture. It's my favourite, and was taken last summer. My Son digging the never ending hole on the beach. Every time I turned around, that's what I saw, so finally decided to snap a pic of it. If this pic brings a smile to even one face then, posting it was worth it.

Kristta posted Tue, 13 July 2004 at 7:18 AM

Cathy, When I first saw your picture, my first thought was "that's my son". Unfortunately, this year, we can't seem to get him to go outside at all. I've resorted to declaring Sundays as "electronics free days". No TV, Playstation or Computer for any one. Some one is going outside to play. Kristta

Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a nice beach ^_^ Dolphins are Poser 3 presets. Did the background in Bryce 3D, and made a UV map for the right-hand dolphin with UV Mapper. I wanted the left one to be a bottlenose, and the right to be a common. No real reason why ^_^

Wow...I hadn't looked in for awhile. Beautiful work, everybody! This challenge is going to be a challenge to pick a favorite of.

" I've resorted to declaring Sundays as "electronics free days". No TV, Playstation or Computer for any one. Some one is going outside" Krista, try threatening to buy only games about playing outside (note they are usaully the boring ones!) or watching only vacation videos on tv. Worked great on my 13 year old son! LOL Cathy, love this pic, you'll treasure this one for many years:).
