Gary, really like Bliss, has a real stolen moment quality and Geoff and Ray have shown why they say don't work with kids and animals, the subject matter is so cute it really shines

[Raydar]

Took a few at a party tonight, when I was looking through them when I got home, this one court my eye

Ray,

Loverly.

Reminds me of one I took at Leigh's first birthday party, with chcoolate all over the face.

Dontcha just love kids ?

[Glen]

Ray, really like that shot.

Gary, maybe you would share that 1st birthday shot of Leigh

(I thought your last series of him was pretty good)

[Glen]

A cute face and a couple of a famous Sydney face

[gstark]

Ray, really like that shot.

Gary, maybe you would share that 1st birthday shot of Leigh

(I thought your last series of him was pretty good)

I would have to find, and then scan, it. And our scanner's power supply is misbehaving.

Let me see what I can do.

[Nnnnsic]

Gary, maybe you would share that 1st birthday shot of Leigh

You know, I can embarrass myself quite fine by myself without the need for dad to intervene.

[Glen]

Fair point Leigh Mind you how lucky are we to have your Dad here to tell the stories, and better yet he has the photos to prove it

[Nnnnsic]

I think that Mum has most of the photos at her place... to which maybe I should be thankful that they don't live together any more...

The Internet brings a whole new meaning to that whole "embarass your children" routine that parents so often do.

Pity it doesn't embarass me.

Well, not unless it ruins any chance of a career I might have.
I don't want any tabloids to come up with a photo op in the near future preaching "Leigh Stark is a big fat slob! Pictures inside!"... it'd be true, but that's not the point (the points don't matter).

[gstark]

I think that Mum has most of the photos at her place.

But I think I have a copy of the one in question.

What's the amperage on the scanner's dead power supply? And it's 12v DC ?

[gstark]

That's quite some pecker, Sheepie.

[Glen]

I am assuming thats a self portrait Sheepie, and you have beady eyes

[Raydar]

That's quite some pecker, Sheepie.

It would do a good job of cracking your nuts for you.

Great shot.

Cheers
Ray

[JordanP]

Only taken about 40 shots with my D70 and this one amazed me. Shot at 1600ISO 60th sec f2.8 lens 200mm

The face of an angel.....



I love my new gear. Just converted to digital and not looking back.

[gstark]

Craig,

That's beautiful. The colours are just slightly warm, and perfectly so IMHO.

Well done.

[JordanP]

Thanks Gary,

I had a look at adjusting the white balance in PP and when I saw the result I just left it as it was.

[gstark]

Thanks Gary,

I had a look at adjusting the white balance in PP and when I saw the result I just left it as it was.

It's great to have that facility, but I've found that as often as not, the original reesult looks just right.

Actually, I've often found that the contrast adjustments might yield some benefit, but again, I would say that what you've produced here needs nothing done to it in order to tell its story.

Very rare to see an image with that much wrap-around. Well lit and very 3-D. That lens is at its sweet spot. Nice image!

[gstark]

Matt,

Strange, I'm seeing the initial reference to your links, but then they resolve .... to nothing.

Is anyone else having problems seeing these or is it just me?

[Killakoala]

Unfortunately i can't see them either.

Now i'm curious and i want to see them

[phillipb]

At first I couldn't see the photos either but when I copied the URL which I got from the "properties" after right clicking on the red X and pasting it into the address in my browser, I could see the photos. Not only that, when I came back to this forum, the photos where visible here as well.
Strange!

[Raydar]

I can see them

Great images Matt, well done.

Now you have that down, I will send you the thumb nail code if you like??????

Cheers
Ray

[hillsrain]

Getting late in this thread, but I just can't resist this one.....
Cheers,

[Raydar]

Great stuff Hill’s

That isn’t some of the pudding you were on about the other night????

Cheeers
Ray

[gstark]

Matt,

I've gone in and edited the messages to just leave them as links.

I don't know whatr the issue is, but under Netscape there was nothing at all, while under IE there was simply the unreachable link icon. Strange.

But by leaving them as straight links, at least we can more easily get to them.

While they're all good, I particularly love the shot of the lion; the colours and lack of lighting give it a wonderful feel.
