Hi, all.

Just came by to drop a pic (no, I didn't take it, but decided to share it anyway)

If some of you remember previously, I said we were expecting. We had an ultrasound done today, and found out we will be having a boy! Anyway, here's a shot of him:

Congrats MR

Hi Jamie... Been awful slow on here this morning. Maybe because it's Australia Day and all the Aussies are off celebrating...!

I'm just back from a walk with Nifty...

yeah was a bit slow yesterday.
How's Nifty?

He's fine thanks. Spent lunchtime taking some shots around Temple in London (if you've read the DaVinci code, it's that place...! Also a bit around St Pauls and the Old Bailey (London's main criminal courts).

He's been getting a bit experimental...

Hey Jamie? If you get a few minutes today, could you direct me to a good tutorial for taking action shots and/or panning? I've been reading threads on POTN but the advice is often conflicting.

Pete - take him (nifty) to the Tower.
or to M. Taussauds.

That train shot is freaky - looks like the train and the people are toys! Reminds me of Thomas - any minute now Ringo Star is going to start telling the story...

He he.. I stole that idea off your model railway shot you posted up yesterday. I figured it was done with selections and gaussian blurs. I just blurred the background and foreground and left the train as it was. If I'd have been thinking properly last night, I would have saturated and sharpened the train to make it stand out more.

I found a tutorial recently on how to do that. I've been looking for the right subject to try it out on.

You are supposed to oversaturate the picture, according to the tutorial. I just love that effect!

Yeah. I meant to saturate and sharpen the subject more, but for some reason I didn't. The white flecks in that shot is actually snow (part of the platform is uncovered).

Anyone played with printing on canvas? I bought canvas photo "paper" and printed a picture with a PS water color filter applied. Came out somewhat painting like.

I've never done it myself, but I've had my printer do it. (Printer person, not printer machine,lol)
The picture I posted in TPBM a while ago of the doorways at Fort Point is a 20x30 (roughly) on canvas. It looks fantastic.

I have toyed with the idea of printing at home on canvas. How is the quality?

Pete, that shot is great! I love the effect. It does look like a storybook picture.

Thanks Cat, coulda been better though (was only 20 mins in Photoshop). Git over to the Nifty thread for more shots from yesterday...

So Pete now that you have been playing with nifty do you appreciate your 50 1.4 more?
