Our feet (me and my friend), when we were sitting at the river bank. I showed this picture to some of my colleagues, and a few were laughing at it, as in -- I should have taken of the hands seperately, then one side of the face and then the other side; in the end I should have joined all the pieces and made one picture :rolleyes:. Well, all I wanted to capture in the picture was the casualness. I don't know if it's there or not.

Anyhow, heres the picture

Hope you like them :D

Adoreo, loved the flowers :D.

Nice Sunrise shot, Dori :nod: .

You know maddie, I took a picture once, but it was in a black hole, you don't have things like that in a black hole, and those pictures are awesome.

The desaturated look of the waterfall works best, the sepia tones are nice too, but add a bit of artificial ageing, like a few scratches, and it'll be even better.

Oh, and the Taj Mahal looks like it is sinking, but that's only because the horizon is just a little bit off. It gives me a strange feeling of movement though, like something is about to happen. Hmmmm, I better not think too much on this and just enjoy these pics.

Thanks. :) I am fortunate enough to experience sunrises like that from time to time, though that particular sunrise was the most stunning, I think. Your photos are quite good, I must add.

Well, most pictures of me are not taken by me. ;)

Very nice Maddie. What software are you using to edit the pictures? I've been thinking of getting one.

Even though the question was not directed towards myself, I feel oblidged to answer anyway. When I edit pictures (I do so rarely), I use The GIMP. Best of all, it's free! See the following links for more information:

Wikipedia Article ~ GIMP
Official GIMP Website

Sadly, as far as I know, unless you run Linux rather than Windows (or perhaps with Windows), I'm afraid you might not be able to use it. So if you ever decide to convert to Linux (if you haven't already), then it will probably come with it anyways (as it did with my distribution).

All in all, the easy way out would be to buy Adobe Photoshop.

I used Picasa for these pictures. I find it quite user friendly and above all its a free software :D

More great looking pictures, Maddie. I thought the one that turned out best with the editing was the one with the water and sky. It looked O.K. in colour, but the sepia made it really pop for some reason. I liked the top waterfall picture best in both the color and the sepia tones. All very enjoyable pictures. Hope to see more from you.

Thanks, Petrarch :D

I was doing all the editing just to see if any picture can be improved, so that I can keep the better version. I am glad you liked the pictures.

I said somewhere I'd post some red neurons, can't remember to who it was, but here they are:

I've played with the contrast a bit so it's clearer.

Wow Vheissu are those microscope pictures?

Yes, they are microscope pictures. It was so difficult to focus on that machine though, it took me forever! But I now have a rather nice collection neurons! :p


Maddie, I just saw your pics, they are gorgeous!!

beautiful pics, Maddie and these neurons look really cool, vheissu.

hubbers and me visited the wild boars again today. they've got babies. two of them were really tiny, but the were fit enough and ran of with the pasta we gave them to eat it on their own.
