Hi yall! Last week i saw this amazing photo from Akemi (nongo) and i told her that she just took my dreamshot. A few days later i managed to capture some rays myself for the first time. And i dont think its "gallery-worthy" but i just wanted to show her my poor attempt, LOL. So here it is.

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

you got that naturally? ok... i'll fall for it... it's far from being "poor"!!! :P you should be proud of this one it's a very cool catch of the light rays! swats :]

That is pretty dang cool, Andreas. I think it's beautiful! I love the way the rays look on the left and how the plants on the ground are lit up. Glad you shared this one. :)

You got me Cindy, LOL. It got a slight adjustment actually....ooops. I added just a wee wee wee bit of radial blur to it. Just to enhance the rays that were already there. Thanks Damia. #:O) ....psssst... swats??? Is that a step up or down from SMACK and WHACK? #:oP

don't see why you couldn't use them in your uploads/text... but not in comments as the "<" & ">" has been disabled there 

It's not jibberish,silly.It's broad scots.It means your pic is great and I'm surprised you don't see that.(Bonny is pretty.) And sadly yes,smiley-impairment is a very serious disease indeed!You're lucky you at least have a dictionary.Alas,currently there's no help for the smiley-impaired.Sigh. :(

naw... dead cuz personally i liked the HTML in the comments,
used it all the time for color back when it was acceptable,
but it was deemed as "a problem", for some were abusing it

& yes foolishness is a word
but not folishness!!! haha

Has someone done another set of smileys then ?

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Thanks you guys!!! I suppose i dont think its gallery worthy since i got sick of it. Ive been playing with it for hours trying to make it to look like i want...and i just cant do it. So this is basically just how the original look Joe, just a tad brigher rays. Well i might just post it someday then. Im off to work. See ya later!!!!!

Andreas, you know how much i ADORE your images!!!! and while i think it's awesome that you captured the sunrays, this image is not one of your best IMHO. you said you didn't think it was gallery-worthy, and i'm not sure what you meant. if you meant it's not up to the usual standards of your photos, then i'd have to agree with you. now you know me, Andreas...i always go goo-goo gaa-gaa over all your images!!! well, this is one that IMO is just not that great of a pic. to me, the left upper quadrant has a large patch of what looks like burned out highlights. Also, the lower left quadrant looks pretty dark to me; i don't hardly see any details at all on my monitor. well, it's just my 2 cents. i do think it's cool that you captured the sun rays. Now maybe if there was a way to do some postwork and bring out some of those details and then do something about that left side...???? hmmmm...i wonder how it would be to layer this with another image. Perhaps use a photo where you have a nice sky and then blend it with this one??? maybe a silly idea but just a thought. anyway, congrats on capturing the sunrays 'cause i know that's sooooo hard to do! :)

Hey, Andreas, thanks for the "rays of light"!!!! It's really hard to capture a shot into the sun with the rays coming at you without getting some burnouts. The "rays of hope" I posted was a special shot to me cause I was waiting to be shown my new house, and it was sooooo foggy cause it's right on the water, (high bluff) and then suddenly the sun came out and I jumped into the car to get my camera. The man showed up to show me the house and I couldn't stop clicking away, LOL!!! He just watched me for awhile, and kind-a got a kick out of it. Anyway, this is another shot from that morning, with more blue sky... I hope you like it... Akemi ;)

Thanks for your honesty Sheila. Like i said...i wasnt all that pleased with it either. And niiiiiiceeeeeee one Akemi!!! I sure like it. Congrats on the new house as well!!! #:O) (no time to link to cool-looking smileys from work...better be a good little worker or they will probably promote me even higher...muahaha)

Okay...how do we get the madonna song to play in the background of this thread... ;]

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

Too bad we can't do that.But then we would be infringing on music laws too. What a world. Sigh. But it could get pretty nasty sounding if there was more than one embedded song in here. LOL Especially if it was auto start.
