ST I'll see you back in the office on January 24 :) Well, actually, I go back for two weeks of training, so somewhere around mid feb should see me actually doing work again.... *ducks rotten fruit*

I really like #3 and number 2 makes me look at it alot. 4 shows the coldness of winter.. so good work don. I think the cloudy weather probably helped give the photos their mood. Sunny might not hav...

THey're saying what triggered it was an 8.1 earthquake between Australia and Antartica late last week. It built up the pressure for the release for this event. Nature is still the biggest of em all....

Pol and I share the same date of world entry.

7 or 8 out of 50... I think (for my experience anyways) that that's about 15 percent. I think if you're taking 50 unstaged shots and you get 15-20 percent that are "keepers" then you're probably doin...

well, you're definitely ahead of me Toadster.. fer sure... and the gap is not closing :) My ratings are the super dooper official ratings as defined by me.. though, you'd have thought if I had design...

I've just discovered : Contrast Masking Overlaying inverse pictures and the channel mixer. that's about all I got at the moment :) I am enjoying seeing what these do to my photos. I think for the ...

I'm thinking I'm about a 4..... 0 - What's a camera 1 - oooh a shutter button 2 - stand over there .... okay.. say cheese 3 - Let me not shoot into the sun.... 4 - If I'm going to shoot into the sun,...

i like this toad. it's a highly interpretive piece.... so there will always be people spruiking or detracting from it. I think for that, it's a great piece of artwork.

thanks Don... this has been my feeling as well... so to get a variety of opinions I thought I would post. Thanks ST. As I said at the start.. it might be the best portrait I came up with. In colour...

thanks slej. That's awesome... I figured I understood the of concept to mess around with it :) and let my aperture be my DOF, but I wasn't giving enough consideration to an "APPROPRIATE DOF APERTUR...

*begins to flame ST.....* oh, you didn't say it :)

ha! That's outrageous.... I can't believe people try that... At least an acknowledgement of the work would have been nice.. or an inquiry around the use of your hard work..... Although, I'll give thi...

I'm going to take a punt and say that Caliean meant that it's probably more difficult to obtain a stolen d70 than a copy of PS. I don't think stealing is legal yet?

Irma, you come up with some great approaches to post-processing. I look at a photo and typically just try to remove imperfections and distractions (something I have a lot of in my photos)... but you,...

gee... All I have to do is find the house to buy to swap :) It sounds like a very interesting idea... more news as it happens !! It's certainly not something that would happen in the next 12 months ...

these are really cool... I wanted to go and buy some lego at lunchtime after seeing this. Luckily I have some young-ish nieces and nephews so I can live vicariously :) Ahhhh who am I kidding, they g...

I completely agree with you Toad. I find the landscapes of everywhere else but Australia to be amazing. I think I need to travel more... care to house swap ?? :) I still find beautiful things to ph...

Mine was the colour on the Prost F1 car circa 1996, it was said to consist of 23 other colours and came out as a great shade of purple, that even on my tv showed as something different.
