Here's one...take this snap and turn it into something artistically appealing...let the artsy side take over.

This is a shot from the Antique Gas and Steam Engine museum that I went to for the Metal challenge I would have loved to use a shot like this one...but didn't notice the peeps in the background until I got home...anyways Straight from the camera nothing but a resize. Curious to see how others would handle some of the distractions in the shot.

Sweet I really like the first and yes would have done better than the soft/sharp thing that I entered in to the challenge...even works well with the peeps in there.

Here's a shot, not too original on the "art" aspect...

Would it be possible for you to tell me how you achieved this effect? I love it.

Hahaha, Thanks Brad. The background on that one is a trick I learned from Sher9204. After months of school'in I'm finally getting it down.

Wait until I get home to do the editing - I've got the perfect idea for this shot...

Thanks Kieran, I really don't know my way around the editing software very well yet, so I would really be embarrassed to publicly describe, step by step, what a hack I am. But thank you, I'm flattered.

And thank you Tsheets, I'm glad you liked it.

Hahaha, It really is no secret, But I think Pedro could describe it more accurately than I could. I continue to add a bunch of un-necessary steps to get there. (But I'm working on it). I can tell you that I add Gaussian noise to most of these types of shots. I don't think the voters like noise much, but I like it.

This has to be, one of the most politically-correct ways of saying
"Neener, Neener, Neener - I ain't sharing squat!
LMAO

Whatever it is you don't know Gringo, don't forget how to do it!

You'd never believe me anyway. Hours and hours of tedious dot for dot adjustments. You'd say... "are you kidding me?" Why don't you just layer it? or somesuch.

I just couldn't take the public humiliation. I need to learn how to do it the correct way still.
