How interesting, doesnt even look like photography but looks like an illustration...did you use lightroom with this? What software do you use for that effect?? Love it!

Thanks :) I use Photomatix for my processing... Most of my work is 3 different merged exposures...

pg 22. lhammer.....lol.....so many clamps (my hubby has many too but not sure I've seen those little colored ones)!! Love the composition and colors in the last shot! And I believe you used the lighting very well in your next post! So...I just scrolled ahead and read Pat's comment....I thought you had turned on a work light that gave the purple effect....or was it just the WB setting? and your next post, Hmmmm....so did your Dad disclose what it was?

.......!

It was much less technical than that on the color change. Just played with the color adjustment sliders in Windows Photo Gallery. It is a free down load from Microsoft that I'm sure everyone has heard of on here but if not and you use Windows it is a very simple program to use and has nice orgaizational features. I do use others but I gravitate to it for organization of files and folders and simple stuff like cropping, straightening, and simple exposure adjustments.

I know we are doing still life, but our dog (whom we just adopted) had puppies! Didn't even know she was pregnant. For the last week I had feeling, but didn't know for sure. Don't know what bred her because we have only had her 5 weeks. Anyhoo... here is what I have been photographing the last couple days.

EVERYONE's Photos are great! I clicked through a few pages!

Just one shot to share!

Thank you so much Irene, you certainly have a creative heart and eye..
I feel I have been in a rut lately, so looking for inspiration myself...
Here are a few from the not too distant past...

p 29 Thought I was the only one in a rut... but then someone in a post showed an idea and it rekindled my creativity. You'll see or find something that gets the excitement going again.

What is her size?

That white line down the center of the forehead to the tip of the nose is typical of a hound. I once owned a precious rabbit hound.

I know where to find the Dogs in Canada site, which has a big breed section and breeders, but I don't know what name to use for the USA.

Once upon a time someone tried to write and anti-porn law. Ye olde language experts, Canada's Civil Liberties Union, etc. reported that some of the words in that draft act would make the St. James Bible be classed as porn.

Or, if the creator thinks she can't stand the elements, let him clothe her.

:P
