The Virtual Gallery

*huggle snuggles for Torv, MSD and Tribble* Thanks you guys!
Occasionally I wonder if there's a market for selling my photos, but I really have no idea how to do it. And there is a lot better stuff out there. I tend to just get lucky.

Oh and Tribble, I owe most of my neat accomplishments to a plugin created for photoshop by Nikon... It's sort of an extension of the camera software, it allows you to play with shados and saturation and exposure and W/B all in one window... AND it works on jpg! It's a free download off the Nikon site, and I'd recommend it for anyone playing with photoshop.

2 questions:

1. What version of 'shop are you running, as every Photoshop in the CS lineup has drop-down menus and adjustment doohickeys for shadows/saturation/white/black?

2.  Would a Nikon product work nicely with Kodak piccies?

Hey, what happened to Seph's picture?

I'm presently using CS3... Friend loaned it to me when he upgraded to CS4. And I still use the existing tools, but I find the plugin has more subtle touches in it. That, and it puts ALL the tools in one little box. If you want to try it, it's free.

And the plugin works with any JPG or RAW. So if your Kodak exports as JPG it won't be a problem.  I found a link to the latest plugin, but if you're running an older version, you can look up the plugin in the Adobe site.

Blaze... It's still there I just put my name on it, and that changed the URL. (Cuz Photobucket is dum like that.)

Araneae... That's a good idea, I'll have to look into it. If anyone HERE wants a print, let me know! (I have a PRINTER! )

Free it may be, but you still have to download it, yes?

On dial-up, the tiniest download can take a very long time...

You have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?

Good places to start...also, free tutorials @ www.worth1000.com

Esper... I know it's probably been mentioned/discussed elsewhere, but I love your avatar. Izzat you in the coat?

And more to the topic... I haz a shiny to share... I love happy accidents. Like when something broken...

Becomes art!

I did two versions. This one in almost gray, and then another one in color. The scariest part about this was when my two year old was responsible for the breaking... Fortunately she didn't get near any broken glass!

Gorgeous.  That is gorgeous.

Broken things make great photographs, I love it.

Abandoned junk makes good photographs too.

So I just posted a bunch of my photos on my Facebook page. Feel free to take a look!

And I wanted to make sure this didn't go unsaid... HOLY CRAP there are some great artists on this forum! The photography, drawing, and calligraphy stuff is just impressive. I didn't want to go back and comment on every single piece in the last 9 pages that made me say "holy crap," but HOLY CRAP!!!

[Persephone]

Thankees Blaze!

Araneae I agree... When I was last in Illinois by the Mississippi (in Moline actually) I just wished I had both time and a car to myself so I could take pictures of a bunch of old abandoned Wharehouses near the waterfront. They were all rusting and falling apart... Just lovely.

Elise... I love your pictures. Especially the one of the Waterfall. Though I figure I should let you know the be careful what you put on Facebook. It still states in the EULA for Facebook photos that they TAKE the copyright from any photos they choose, and claim it as their property. So just be careful.

That said, I also admire your watermarking... Mayhap I should do something similar... Though as stated earlier, I've never prfited from my photos, so I'm not sure how paranoid I should be.

[OnlyElise]

Thanks, Persephone!

From what I saw, they tried to take copyright possession of everyone's pictures last week. Apparently, Facebook has not yet made a profit, and can't even really cover its costs as of yet, so we're thinking they were planning on selling people's pictures as stock footage to make money. Hence, mine are in a low resolution and are watermarked. It would be easier just to leave my stuff the hell alone rather than try to take the watermarks out! I never put a picture online without watermarking it because you just don't know who will take it or why!

[OnlyElise]

OH! I forgot the second part of my post, which is after the poo hit the fan about Facebook's new policy last week they quietly took that clause out and assured everyone they still own all their own stuff. If they were telling the truth, we should be good.
