I like life as it is. I like to take photos that look as close to
what I saw as possible.



We recently came across an old, forgotten box of family photos. One
was my high school graduation "glamour" shot ..... you know, the ones
that were airbrushed back at the studio to remove a few pimples, add
a tinge of ruddy red to the cheeks and enhance the color of the eyes.

In my case, I am kinda glad the photographer didn't simply reproduce
what he saw. It wasn't pretty.

Did you have a flattop?

Here's a photo of someone's 14-year-old granddaughter.
Do you think it has been photoshopped?

Actually it was photoshoped, using CS3. If you look at the exif data
you actually made 25 adjustments in photoshop.

I think she is a beautiful young woman, but the lighting is not
complementary to her or her skin tone. The photo looks flat like you
had the light directly behind you when you took the photo.

It was conveniently deleted. WAFA caught in *another* lie.

How come the picture disappeared?



Because the guy I wanted to see it saw it.


Harry, I noticed you did not disagree with the fact that you
photoshopped the file in CS3.

Simple answer - he won't admit to a lie - he *can't*.

I am surprised that two of my favorite guitarists are seldom mentioned in
these ratings, Joe Walsh and Don Felder of the Eagles.
Walsh is certainly up there in my book as a rocker. Don Felder is
classically trained and it shows, particularly in the "Hell Freezes Over"
CD/DVD. I enjoy his playing a lot.

Eisboch

Walsh is an amazing guitar player.

I don't know what it is, but did you ever notice that Walsh, Ronnie
Montrose and Sammi Hagar seem to be on the same playing level?

I love 'em all!

Nice one. The champ doesn't need touching up.
Those crappies are really nice.
Do you fillet them or just gut and fry?

--Vic

Crappies? I doooon't think so.

Come on Vic, you're a good Midwestern boy, you should be able to ID a
crappie.

Piffle - smallish.

That' my bud Jimi there with the one fish. He loves chasing the
Calico, he wants to break the state record. He has come within ounces
a couple of times.
==========================================

Actually I think those are Crappie not Calico Bass. Or, maybe Calico is
local name for what is actually a Crappie. Here in Florida the Crappies
are
referred to as specs. I have caught Crappies in one place I fish down
here
close to three pounds. Lots of fun and great eating.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crappie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelp_Bass

Two different fish - fresh water and salt.

We don't see the salt version up here very much.

Specs refer to speckled trout (also known as squeteague, gray trout,
weakfish) which is some good eatin'.

I've never heard of speckled trout here in Florida referred to specs. Seems
to be reserved for crappie. I don't do much sal****er fishing so maybe I've
just missed that nick.

The first time I did catch a trout was with a Florida native and he warned
me about the nasty tooth on the top of their mouth.

I didn't see Mark Knopfler on that list - I may have missed it though.

I was so ****ed about Joan Jett. :)

Or Joe Satriani.

Thanks, my wife has always been creative, but until you and a few others
talked me into buying my wife a D50 for her birthday, I never had any
desire or artistic leaning. My wife does it naturally, I have to work at
it.


Mrs.E. likes portraits. Horses, grandkids .... anything with a face.

With apologies to Harry on the subject matter ..... (another of my number 3
granddaughter, 3 year old "Sophie"), this copy is actually a Photoshop
captured image of Mrs.E.'s computer desktop wallpaper. I couldn't find
the original file from which this was made.

Anyway, it's not altered or color enhanced or anything. Her eyes are
actually that color. This is one of my favorite pictures of her.

Taken, BTW, by the D70 that Mrs.E. bought from Harry.

Wow! You've got the only kid Harry could say something nice about!

Congratulations. That has to make your day!

He's "sucking up".

Eh?
Sometimes you need extra help to keep from making a bigger ass of

John. Leave him alone.
It's interesting to watch Hurtdick transition from ass to big ass to asshole
all in the same thread

I was simply trying to help the guy out after he got totally set up by
Harry. I don't think poor JimH is fast enough to have kept up with the
action during that thread.

Harry, now, is fast. He had that picture pulled almost before Reggie could
type 'Photoshop'. But, the key word is 'almost'.



WAFA has nothing to do all day - including boating. If you ever look at
hos posting history you have to wonder when he takes a ****.
