chattius 2,536 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 In the world before digital fotos, do a filter with the colour for the background in front of the camera. do a filter with opposite colour in front of the flash. Where the flash is strong the filters eleminate each other- neural colour- Background the flash filter has less effect as the camewra filter and so the background is coloured. Was fun to try out effects with filters and black paper, for key hole like effects, colour effects, ... Of cause all can be done with software now. Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Welcome back Sil! They two pix are great, are you using photoshop to finish off the photos? How did you get the good color difference tween the women in the back and you in the foreground. lol, get in the front of the pic more often, yer a great ham! gogo I can't afford Photoshop. I am using Two Corel products, Aftershot pro and Paintshop pro X4. I always shoot with single point focus, spot metering and pretty wide aperatures. I don't really like group photography so I am trying to single out one person in the group, letting the others get underexposed or overexposed. That shot also had some digital magic done to it that I have saved as a preset called 'The Henry Way' Thank's for the warm welcome. Link to comment

Knuckles 904 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Nice pics guys Probably never ever upload one of mine...would probably break the forum It's funny how subconsciously you'll make a mental picture of someone by listening to them (especially a dj on a radio station) or by reading/texting with them. And when you finally see the person it's never ever close to what you envisioned. Except for Brad....I totally saw that lightning bolt coming lol 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,117 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I tend to picture people as their avatars. Knuckles, for example, is obviously a floppy golden retriever sitting at a computer. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,073 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Threads come back alive, Facebook has not taken us down yet! I remember when this thread went up years ago, Ogame was the thing then, and everyone found it novel to have a place on the net to have picx... who woulda thunk it All these new posts up got me to look up the community in pix, I've seen most a ya's, but Flix, finally great seeing who I had envisioned in my head, musician! Theuns, is there anyone in your family that does not have blonde hair! gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,117 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The following pictures are in no specific order/timeline.... Delta! Ooh, great pics, trips and stuff are a good idea for photo posts. Let's see if I can find some where I'm actually smiling/looking at the camera. Well first, here's my mug. Funny thing is I NEVER wear my beard like this, but I liked the look enough to snap a pic of it to laugh about later: I actually look like this, with just a goatee, like 99% of the time: Anyway, some interesting places I've been: Tintagel Ruins, Cornwall Glastonbury Tor, England. That was a looooooooong climb up there Tower Bridge, London Stonehenge Florence, Italy Another one in the Glastonbury Gardens Link to comment
Delta! 988 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Theuns, is there anyone in your family that does not have blonde hair! gogo Yes. My father had pitch black hair, but as soft as silk, his brothers and one sister also had black hair. My moms sister and brothers had brown/ black hair. My moms natural colour is like mine. I got the colour from my mom and the type of hair from my dad. Even now some of my aunts and uncles and old family friends call me a "sybokkie" directly translated means a silk deer... It is great to see all the pictures. Just waiting for knuckles to post one or two... Delta! Link to comment
Delta! 988 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I tend to picture people as their avatars. Knuckles, for example, is obviously a floppy golden retriever sitting at a computer. And what do you picture me as with my avatar pic? Delta! Link to comment
Flix 5,117 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Six-headed being? LOL. Honestly as a Dryad woman. Didn't even register that you were male until I saw these pics in this thread (even though it's in the info there, that's the power of avatars, at least on me!). Link to comment
gogoblender 3,073 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Flix, how many instruments do you play? I think that pic of you with the cellos is sparkle gogo Link to comment
Flix 5,117 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Flix, how many instruments do you play? I think that pic of you with the cellos is sparkle gogo Thanks, it's actually a string bass, the cello's big brother. Guitar and bass in all their forms, orchestral strings, banjo, mandolin... pretty much any instrument with strings I can give at least a decent show. This was gonna be me someday: 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,073 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 That is a incredible talent. took piano lessons when I was a kid, and could do great "trix" with speed and could perform well...but my sight reading was always poor, and I hated the theory then... musical aptitutde didn't come as easily to me as others, I guess like you who can just "feel" their way to instruments! gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Oh I am horrible with musical instruments....I was born with no rhythm probably explains why I don't dance either. Link to comment
Delta! 988 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey Knuckles. You do know that we are still waiting for a picture of you...? Delta! Link to comment

Popular Post Silearth 6 Posted January 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2014 God, this has always been my favorite part of this forum. I can slip in quietly and see new pictures of everyone. Not sure when I was here last. I was looking through my things and found my old copy of Scared Gold.... Not much into gaming these days, unless you count Candy Crush. But, since this is a picture thread.... Now I'll warn you; I don't have many current pictures that haven't been twisted in some way. But here is one, I believe I took it in December when I was making cookies for my kids. [url-http://s167.photobucket.com/user/hlmichel/media/CookieTime.png.html][/url] 2 Link to comment
