Neat pic... maybe inspiration for Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers of 1933

I have a wall (though not a cool tall wall) that I want to do something like this to, only more stylish with like old barn wood or cedar or something, and maybe different colors on the background walls:

I need a carpenter. Jesus? Do you still do carpenting?

My bro carpents (?:P)

The stuff he's built for us all. Amazig some of it. Amelia's woodland tree bed when she was a kid was brilliant. And he painted the whole room as a woodland scene complete with stars that glowed in the dark. The bed was a bunk bed. And underneath was her little desk and study area. Seat was a little tree stump. Step ladder up to the bed was like something out of The Faraway Tree, built from little logs.

How wonderful. I see a lot of neat ideas on Lovely Listing (a cheezburger subsidiary) and I just dream and dream.

"My bro carpents" LOL

I love using messed up word forms. ;)

I lived with a carpent-man for two years when I graduated college. He never made me a damn thing. :mad:

The musician never wrote me a song; the writer never wrote me a pome or prose; the forklift driver never moved my hobos around; the painter never painted me...

Meh, what's the point? I can do nothing for myself all by myself. ;)

you need to recruit Happy, Infinite..... monkeys...

Happy Monkey? Does he carpent? :)

Looks like he made you mad.;)

AND HOW, SISTER.


weren't you here when he and his dad made that bedroom furniture? it was fannnnnntastic.


be back to edit in a link if i can finds it, my precious.

OK Mr Spexx, would you, under those circumstances, make me a pair of glasses? Hmmmmmm? :3eye:

Happy Monkey, not just for tape creations anymore.

Oh yeah, findy link. I would love to see that. Talented people, you all amaze me.

founds it. ^^

And the cobbler's children had no shoes.

You know Eve was the first carpenter...







...she made Adam's Banana Stand.

I carpent, but I don't travel.

You might enjoy some of the pr0n here.

I hope ya at least got forked...:o

Suppose these two had kids ... infinitely happy monkeys? Hmmmm...

haggis!

:smack:

Zengum translation of Chinese caption:

Going through some old B&W prints in my desk and I found this portrait that a friend took of me in 1974! I was one way cool photographer with my velvet jacket, colorful camera straps and big sideburns. And my dad was always complaining about my hair! Can't remember what lens that long one was but the Minolta SRT 101 was one very good film camera.

That's a good portrait.

Thanks and I still wear blue jeans with a few holes in them from time to time.

Was that posed or candid?

It was posed, I wanted something different to send out with my graduation invitations. Most kids sent a wallet print of their senior portrait. I wanted to be :cool:

Success achieved.

Yeah it's cool, but I think the wine store was the ultimate.;)

I didn't take this but I have been up to the top of Notre Dame. I think the photographer did a nice job of HDR on this.

I didn't know you could do the HDR thing in black and white, I thought it was strictly a color thing. It's more about the contrast I guess?

Neat pic.

Ansel Adams was a pioneer in HDR the old school way in the darkroom. Dodging and burning in black and white.

Edit: You know, I'd love to see his prints displayed side by side with prints made from his original negatives without the dodging and burning.

Yes, HDR just refers to high dynamic range and it is usually done by combining several exposures from 1-3 stops over to 1-3 stops under the normal exposure and then tone mapping them in a program such as Photomatix and then some additional post processing in something like Photoshop.

That being said you can always do the HDR thing and create a nice color image and then just convert it to B&W in Photoshop.

My main complaint with some HDR work is that it just is overdone in my opinion and looks fake.

I think someone here (Glatt or Chris, maybe?) has experienced this from the inside, on a Tiger Cruise, but, I would love to witness this first-hand before I die.

Being realistic, I prolly never will.

They used to teach us in school, Expose for the highlights and process for the shadows. The whole Zone System is based on a variant of that.

We didn't breach when I did my cruise but we did do some really deep dives and some steep angled dives and climbs which they call "angles and dangles".

Ima memember that.

I saw this on Google+ this morning, an image by Gregory Colbert. His work, Ashes and Snow is an ongoing project that weaves together photographic works, 35mm films, art installations and a novel in letters. You can check it out at http://www.ashesandsnow.org/

Wow. Amazing pics in this thread.

I really like the way that last one captures more than just the moment of the photo, but tells quite a story.

moonshadow==doubleplus cool!

Yes indeed, I told my family about this pic.

Intellectually, I know that's what an eclipse looks like,
but that's the first pic I've seen like that one.

Great posting...

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but, that eclipse pic may very well be 'shopped.

Would the 'thin blue line' of our atmosphere deform like that?

why not? there's less light in that space to be scattered by the air, therefore less scattering, therefore less "blue".

Apologies for leaving these pics large...

...but this one especially is very cool.

Single 20 second exposure.

Oh wow! That shot of the bridge is awesome.

Love the bird.

Nice shot of the tube, Zen.

Those drops look like little spacecraft. Proof there is Life on Mars.

Hah! Great minds...I thought they looked like the 'saucer section' of the starship Enterprise.

Looks like nothing so much as a couple trash cans.

And, look! Somebody threw away a perfectly good midget.

I was gonna post this pic, but dude has some (not unreasonable) usage conditions (I think I would've been okay posting, I'm just too lazy to email the guy) on his work.

BTW: The pic I refer to is for April 27, 2012. The pic changes daily, so, if you go at another time you might have to search for the pic.

He has some good stuff.

Spend a little time in the archives, it's worth it.

Oh yeah. Nice pics on that site!
