Thanks to all of you that contributed to Part 1,, it was fun, keep them coming!

Just hanging out taking pictures and getting creative with them is fun and entertaining[Linked Image]

Remember these have to be our own pictures and our own creations,, tho editing and creating with effects isn't necessary to post your pictures here :wink: effects just make it fun.

However please remember to post birds pic's, flower pic's, and questions unrelated to this thread topic in the appropriate forums so we don't bog down this thread with things that belong else where. Unless you have a cool "twist" to the picture of birds or flowers of course thumbup

Diane, that last sky picture is awesome!!! It looks like it had creative things done to it which makes it all the more awesome since it hasn't!! Simply beautiful.

(love the little camera guy up there swingin' on a limb!!)

I haven't got anything to put here right now, but I will have eventually. I love this thread!!!

Well I see it's been a few days so maybe you can stand another one....

I think this black and gold morning I woke up to one morning is gorgeous just the way it is!!!

But, in the interest of using animation, I added lightening...which seemed appropreiate for this shot.

They have earthquakes in Seattle......just before the volcanoes erupt! Heck, we get earthquakes in Nashville, TN where I live......just before the rivers run BACKWARDS forming HUGE natural lakes.

Notice that the Chess pieces aren't moving? Must be a magnetic board.

I know they have them in Seattle and in TN We've even had some in our area the latest one was July 10 ,, The shock face was just being silly and laughing hoping the gnomes wouldn't get injured with all that shaking going on in the picture :wink:

Thankfully, no injuries were reported by the two unfortunate gnomes. They did, however, have a fight about who would've won the checkers game had the earthquake not hit.

Those are some really neat pictures...I love the water movement, y'all gonna have to tell me how to do those tricks.

Here's mine...no tricks!

The 1st was taken with b/w film, I was told by my son to take his camera (photography class @ college) "Who take Civil War pics in color?" I love horses and was wanting to get a good shot of the Palomino...with all the cannon smoke this was the result. I place 2 runner up in a photo shot (action), this same photo was used in a CW relic metal detecting hunt, it was on the tee shirts made for the event. I added the brush edging for the special look.

"Ghost Rider"


This second pic is a cow hidden behind the moss, but you see her reflection in the water. It was taken in color just changed to b/w on the computer with the brush edge.
