i put my tod up on the kitchen counter sometimes .. because he seems to want to check out what i'm doing .. if its ok for cats .. why not dogs .. :)
i like this just because you and i are thinking alike . !! .. ;)

ps .. i could be completely wrong .. but this could be a tucker leg/foot etc .. and if so .. i like the pun .. tucker being a word for food .. which is often prepared in the kitchen and a particular dog's name . ;)

lovely .. i really like how natural this is .. and that its not spic and span ..
a lot of kitchens these days seem to have lost their personality .. with their modern appliances all matching .. and the harsh lines ..
a bit like cars .. cars back in the day they were so beautiful .. now they are sleek .. but dont have that same beauty .. just my opinion .
your pic brings all that to mind .. :)

Singing in the rain

Originally posted by kasaba: Lovely picture Roz, congratulations. Have you tried making rain by using a layer of "noise" and giving it a motion blur? The direction of the drops is then constant (your brush doesn't seem to always be in the same direction?), and the drops are more random. But you then have to play with layers and blur some of them, else it looks fake :-)

thankyou so much Gaby .. I will definately look into that xx

and 'some' say its not about the equipment ...
just seeing the difference between your new years resolution and this extended free study .. makes it so obvious that you were hindered in your ability to capture the shots you visualized by the equipment you were using ..
having said that .
some ppl have the most amazing equipment but still take photos that arent that good ..
but if you have a talent .. which you obviously have .. it can be a wonderful experience to get a camera that performs to your creativity .. its like a whole new world opens up ..
thats what happened for me when i got my first macro lens ...
i'm so glad i happened to see your thread its all about the camera and the lens ..
