Enhanced August photo comp Discussion Thread....!

Kryssy - Bridge over Troubled Waters is first rate. Well done, it must have taken a while to execute.

 

Thank you for you kind comments Dave - that is very kind of you but I am ashamed to admit it didn't take many minutes at all. I've been working on something else and going nuts with it so went on hubby's computer with this picture for a break and within a few minutes I had the basics. I then had to email to myself so that I could copy it into my PSP and finish it on my computer. What a nonsense!!

I've been messing with the balls and bubbles in PSP and love it. I'm still trying to figure out how you got your Mars bar to float in the clouds in your original picture. Did you throw it up in the air and snap it in mid flight :confused:

As usual, there are some great shots already and I just wish I had some musical instruments lying around - got to get my thinking cap back on

 

No Kryssy - I'm not that fast with the shutter!!
I suspended it on white cotton thread. I had to take lots of shots though as it kept spinning round and I wanted the 'Mars' name in shot.

I'm struggling this month on the 'creative' front as my main PC with fast processor and large memory has packed in so I'm stuck with a slow, small memory laptop until a new PC arrives later this month.

 

kryssy, bridge picture is very very good, nice one.

 

Thank you kind sir Keving :D . I thought about candle in the wind too (it's probably the best known song in the world) and you have captured it beautifully. Well done you.

Love those cheeks Petal - but could we have a title or we won't know how to vote for you.


I know what you are going through Dave, I've only a small laptop - hubby has the proper grown up computer which I'm not really allowed to use. My laptop got so full it just gave up working altogether so hubby had to wipe it totally clean and send off for new discs to start from scratch again. I've been warned not to keep so many photos on it this time. Meanie :(

I didn't think of cotton thread Nice one.

 

Wow all fantastic pictures this month, all such clever idea too!

I have to say I have a soft spot for Kevings Mercury and Petal's 'action' shot is superb, where did you find him Petal?

 

That is so clever WOO!!

 

A classic example of lateral thinking WOO.

(Now where did I put that little Yellow Submarine?) :D

 

Fantastic pics coming up as usual and it's very difficult to compete with some of the software used by some of you.

I must say what I find difficult at times is not seeing the original photograph to see what has been altered, although I know this is not one of the requirements of the comp. This could prejudice my voting and has in the past ... I'm only one vote but one vote has won many a time.

 

Good luck to all - I will be away for the voting :(

 

Have to agree with you LoL - knowing what has gone on before the "before" and "after" does help. I was hoping Dizi would come up with something special as she chose the subject. Where are you Dizi??

We've had a rock band staying with us for the weekend - strange but true - Howie G and the P.L.0.T. and I got some fabulous shots of them jamming with two other bands and again when they performed on Saturday night. I was miffed I had already entered my pics. Still, it's just for fun. (Perhaps I'll put some photos elsewhere -there may be some rock chicks out there)

Got some strong favourites again this month so voting will be difficult - again
