Greyhound looks very sad.

Mainly because we'd been playing with him & he got a bit confused when I kept pointing a camera at him instead of keeping up the play

Definitely gonna get me a greyhound when I'm older & have the space, they're such sweet dogs.

I found a furry flower at the bots on saturday!

magicbastarder · 31-03-2008 9:36pm

i'm no good at producing shots like that. i always drop the brightness for saturation. which wouldn't suit it.

Borderfox · 31-03-2008 9:48pm

Lovely shot Julie, I left a comment on Flickr

cheers - it's an (i think) myrtle tree trunk, taken in the bamboo park in glengarriff.

Love that shot. Was only thinking of how much I'd love to take some photos in a bamboo forest/park after watching the shogun docu-series on bbc.

A truly wonderful thread with some truly beautiful and soothing photos...

When I am having a tough day I come to this thread and calm myself down...

Please keep up the wonderful work

First time in 7 years I've not moved out of the way fast enough. Taken as the wheel was buzzing off the petal hood on my lens. No glass was damaged while making this.

YogiBear · 01-04-2008 12:28am

Calina, I love that shot.

Is it a piano?

For a given value of real.

The piano is real. The background is some satin I happen to have lying around for this and other purposes. Piano sat on an upside bowl. The photograph was shot with a 40D and the 17-85 lens at a 30sec exposure at f29 in near darkness (light from computer screen and windows basically. During the time I fired a flash three or four times. Original file is RAW.

The processing was:

1) curves
2) black and white layer
3) some of the satin background was messed about with using the smudge tool
4) I think there was a levels adjustment too but I don't have the PSD to hand so I can't check.
5) cropped to near square

I'd venture to say that the answer to the question "is it real" is yes but that's by my definition.

I know that quoting with pictures is no longer allow, but this one is a bit back, I missed it. So, I'm hoping that its ok this time as I have a question (to show which I refer to). If anybody objects, speak up and i'll remove, no problem at all

The question is;
Was this taken in Kerry, if so would that be one of the White tailed eagles?
Im pretty sure its a white tailed eagle, just not sure on location. Thanks

PopeBuckfastXVI · 01-04-2008 12:09pm

Thanks Calina!

I see it now that it's only wee... I had thought it a lifesize piano digitally mucked about or perhaps a sculpture!

Great shot... I love things that require me to look closer

YogiBear · 01-04-2008 12:14pm

Love the "Sound of Silence" Bovril.

It's just way to dark for me, if there was some light shining through the glass pieces i think it would be a lot better. Perhaps retake it and show us how ya get on?

Dades · 02-04-2008 12:25pm

One from last month I only got around to getting off the camera (and into PS

) yesterday...

Ding Ding Ding!, yeah that's very cool, i love the shallow depth of field and the placing of the knight, very nice. So any comments on my first posted pic above^^^^^^^^:)

tywy · 02-04-2008 11:21pm

Very cool, love the expression on whatever that animal is' face. It's hard to get good pictures of animals, at least it is for me, so I'm very impressed.

Took this one this evening. This is my first ever attempt at HDR. I used Photomatix because I haven't a notion how to do it manually

Click for flickr/bigger versions.

Taken close to Lough Gur last weekend. Who would have thought the tint on the windows of my friends car would make for such an interesting filter?

Ninja_scrotum · 04-04-2008 1:37pm

Kewl!

I could only make the signs visible by converting the snapshot.

No the picture was taken in Canada. No idea about eagles, but I think its a North American Bald Eagle
