Out of Focus and off topic...

Calina · 2009-01-12 20:00:10

DeV has gifted us this off topic thread idea from Poker for general chat/offtopic/banter type thread. So here it is. I'd stick a virtual bar in the corner but I think a few of our users are underage, so the bar is that way and the juice bar and cafe are this other way. Want to mouth off about photography, say nice things,…

I'm sticking with my original plan of chicken, wrapped in bacon and roasted with a rich Mozarella cheese sauce! Yum!

Then chocolate.

Whats the easiest way to apply a simple frame to a photo? I only have photoshop elements 6.0 and the Sony Software I got with my camera.

Also lol at the way the off topic thread has developed here. Booze and chocolate seem to be topics close to photographers hearts. I post quite a bit on the Poker Forum and in the ott thread there (which imo is the best thread on boards, even if you have no interest in poker), it'll be interesting to see how this one develops.

Dinner is in the oven, fererro rocher purchased and beer in the fridge. It's going to be a good one.

Someone posted up an easy black and white one by picking white as your colour and increasing the size of the canvas (puts on a white border) and then picking black and increasing the size of the canvas (puts on a black border outside the white one) you change the thickness of the border by how much you increase the size of the canvas.

Jammie sod Darren. I was hoping to get to DCC tonite, however I'm in Galway and about to leave the office. Not a chance of getting to Dublin by the close of tonite's meet. As for dinner, I can see Supermacs in Craughwell doing well on a Supermac Meal

Hey, and having slept on the perennial question of who will take over from Heff I woke this morning all enlightened with the answer - he'll never die. Nobody needs to (or could) takeover. About 120 years old and he'll still be bopin with the blondes!

Sony or Olympus????? Nah never heard of them. Do they take IS or VR glassy things???

I swear by berocca for the morning kickstart........ also delays my first coffee till 10 at least........ which is good as I tend to drink to much caffeine (once I've had first cup) and end up with heartburn by the time the quiet evening pint comes along
