The Never Ending Photo Thread

[REDVAN]

I have a bunch of photos I want to share here and there, but I want to put those cool water marks on it in the corner. I have photoshop, and I have no idea how to use it, if that program will do the trick.

also, what is a good image host so I can post in this thread? thanks for the help!

Bought an XTi recently and love it. I just bought the body and then bought a Sigma 18-200mm IS lens. Loving both. The XT would be a good camera too, the difference between them is not great and 8mp is more than enough.

Try ebay, there are tons of them on there.

Photoshop will do it. Lots of tutorials out there. Here's a video tutorial http://www.oman3d.com/tutorials/phot.../watermark.php

I remember that exact same huckster from my trip last August. Amazing stamina.

More pics of Shanghai, particularly the new developments in Pudong.


View of the construction of the worlds next 'tallest building' from Shanghai's current tallest building.


A section of Shanghai and the Huanpu River from the top of the JinMao tower.

More construction of the worlds next 'tallest building'.

The Oriental Pearl tower in daylight.

The JinMao (right), and the other one the name of which I don't know.

Pudong is so fancy and weird. It's just not like China at all.

I took this tonight at work and did a little photoshop on it. Was going to post in it the gamethread but by the time I finished I had forgotten about the game.

I really like the effect you have with the street lights, how did u manage to get that effect?

With the "star" like effect? Suprisingly...nothing. I believe that it was produced via the plastic cover over the light and that's how the light is reflected out...creating a nice, symmetrical, star-like pattern. Nothing was used (ie. filters, photoshop) in that regards. The shutter was opened for 5-30 seconds (I forget which one I used for that shot) and it produced it very nicely.

Its caused by light diffracting at the edge of the aperture blades. So basically, you'd open the aperture wide open to reduce the affect

Steely there's your answer

I live in the Priddis area and this is what I see looking from my kitchen. We have a 180 degree view of the Rockies from the front of our house.

[Cowperson]

To add to that thought, a few mornings ago, a low-light, little grainy, picture of elk transitting the field in front of our place, heading for cover in the early morning glow just before daybreak reaches the Rockies.

You guys must be smiling every time you wake up because you live such a beutiful place... Great pics. We have only forrest and lakes. And then some forrest. Our highest mountains are just dull humps compared your sharp sexy deathbringers.

Cowperson and redforever excellent photos. I made this before the game tonight while I was playing around with the flash I got for Christmas.
