The "I'm Just Posting It Because I Like It" Thread

Lol, me too. I cannot keep up with many of the threads, so usually end up only doing thanks in the last page I visit.

I shot the hog on a hog again. I was looking for the bokeh effects from X100.

Great bokeh and effect.

Waiting for a coach at 5am I popped out the back of the station, stuck my camera on the wall by the river and had a play with the manual settings, more out of boredom than with any sense it's produce anything I'd like. Well I was wrong, this I do like;

Wow, P.H. - you played well! What a beautiful scene - pretty darned impressive for being "bored"!

So do I. It was well worth the playing with manual. Great shot.

I went to a Chinese New Year celebration in my city's "Chinatown" (although in reality it's more like All Kinds Of Immigrants Town) with a Chinese friend.

The Dragon Dance features a dragon chasing the Pearl of Wisdom (that's the lollypop-like thing partially obscuring the face), to symbolize the dragon's continuous search for wisdom. In Chinese culture the dragon is a very positive entity, and was also used as a symbol of the Emperor's power.

Perhaps a bit overprocessed for some folks, but I like it.

Thanks Paul,
I was playing around last night with a big long telephoto and turned it quickly on my wife. I was way too close and her face more than filled the frame. I kinda wished her smile hadn't been chopped off, but there's enough left to remind me why I love it. But the shot was sooo crazy sharp I couldn't post it sooc. It was like a documentary on the epidermis. I tried softening everything, but I still wanted some smile lines. It was tough. Finally I realized I could hide stuff by using a texture layer. I popped her eyes out and brightened them up and jacked the saturation so they would still cut through the texture layer. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

[pdh]

You popped her eyes out ?

I should have been a little clearer......I did an HDR processing to really make em stand out and I literally popped them out of that photo, and dropped them into a "straight" one. Of course, sometimes it's fun to type things that can easily be misinterpreted
