clasina asked how to create an original work, did this last night, maybe I am psychic, there are many ways but this was how I achieved this one, hope it is of some help, any questions please ask
I use Photoshop but if you use a different programme sure you can find an equivalent filter etc
I took a handful of sweets and dropped them onto a light box and photographed them to get the base image

So, do you think if you go in his closet, will he notice?
I'm willing to risk it! :mrgreen:
William - you didn't hear that, did you?
It's a Monfrotto 3221WN and it's fine to shoot with, I would
recommend it ... if I stole one ... this is it and I've got the
horizontal pistol grip for quick work, there's the monopod
with the vertical grip too.
I use both for close up work sometimes.
I took everyting I had to Texas and Natchez and it was the
D3100 with the Nikkor 24-85 2.8 (film lense) all hand held ... no other
equipment was used ... it easy to move around and works fine. Bv
I remembered ... I did use the tripod once in Texas.
When it was large format I had no choice ... now I'm free
but a tripod is basic gear ... so steal one or go buy one soon,
it will improve your work and it's nice to have free hands at times.
Do not buy a cheep one ... you will regret it so soon.

I agree,better off without than cheap
Is that a light I see at the end of the tunnel
Light at the end
a tripod is basic to working certain subjects like this one
long exposures
Get the tripod ... it will change your work ... as did mine. Bv
just don't steal mine ... it's handy at times but not my regular way's of shooting these days ... I like freedom
a tripod is more to bear and is hardv to travelv withv
BV
but it's so good to have a great tripod ... close at times

How do you do an egg (anybody?)
The way I do it is in GIMP>Filters>Animation>Spinning Globe. If you use a square picture you get a globe. If you do a picture with one dimension longer than the other you get an egg. The computer has to do a lot of computations so it takes a while. I usually fill in the background corners in Corel X5 or Photoshop. Any further questions let me know.
Here's some new ones for today.

You know, I did make an egg probably the way you said (that was months ago)....and it came out strange. I'll have to go back & try it again. Thanx for answering!
Thanks everyone, I am going away but will be back.....I'm addicted to this thread!!

Oh, how I envy you. I started out years ago on a Mac but had to change to Windows for work. Now I have so many programs in it that I can't change back. I don't think Picasa is compatible but you will have to check. Good luck in your new endeavors and be sure to ask for help if you need it.
There sure are a lot of nice posts today. I was amazed when I finally got to the computer tonight.

Vacation is just about over. We are having dinner with my grandson this evening who I haven't seen in a couple of years. He lives in Japan but goes to college in Tampa. I did take about 2,000 pictures and have been sending some new edits all along. I appreciate your keeping up with the thread. I now realize how important that is as I have tried posting on some other threads where the moderator doesn't follow through. The subjects are good but without followup, they quickly die.

Hi Swede, hope you enjoy the dinner with your Grandson tonight, I think Jen does a great job in your absence, you are very lucky having her to step into your shoes. Hope your vacation was a good one .
You are so right about follow up, that is why I gave up with other threads but made an exception last weekend and posted on another thread, somebody asked if I would be prepared to give a clue as to how I did my work, I replied and said I would be happy to post details the following evening, so I spent some 2-3 hours running through a work from base image to completion, put a message on the thread the following night to ask for advice if it was ok to put this set of pictures up or where else could I post them, Guess what NO Reply.
Funny the following night that clasina asked the same sort of question so I posted them on this thread and within 24 hours had a reply from clasina thanking me.
You have built a great thread here with a good group of people willing to share there knowledge which benefits us all.
Well done Swede

They don't all come out well. It is the same way with other edits--some pictures work and some don't and I don't have a magic formula to tell which ones will. Good Luck!
I just did this one. In the edit I kicked the frames up from 10 to 30 and got much better results.

A photo taken late afternoon during the fall. Cranked through Gimp for a fractal layer, some other fun and games, then into Photoshop for some additional treatment. I probably couldn't repeat this to save my life.
