This is from the dock in back of the Boathouse II restaurant on Hilton Head.

Wow, that was surprisingly easy! The pics are a bit large, though, aren't they? I'll be happy to resize any more that are added to the thread, if you can tell me how. I'm on a Mac using iPhoto and Photobucket, if that matters.

thanks again,
Susan

My DH walking along the beach in Fort Lauderdale.

After seeing the above pictures I am going to pick up Paint Shop Pro this weekend. I can't wait to get it and start playing with it with pictures such as this one. :D

Make sure you get Paint Shop Pro X2 - that's the current version, just released. You might check on line - you may be able to save some money buying it someplace such as Amazon or direct from Corel.

Paint Shop Pro is a full featured program - that means it's comparable to Adobe Photoshop CS, which costs several hundred dollars. Photoshop Elements is a stripped down version of Photoshop that is targeted to the casual user. For the additional $40 or so, I think it worth it to get the full-featured program.

I suggest you also get a book that hs the fundamentals of digital image processing. Stop by your local Barnes & Noble so you can actually look at the books and find one that matches your interests and skills.

Theresa sent directions for how to resize so here goes....

I love this one because it reminds me of when he was a little boy (just months ago it seems)

and the last testing one - I scrapbook and lately I've gotten into the Photobooks that are so easy to do with the iPhoto program (and beautiful when finished - I was shocked at the quality when I ordered the first!) Anyway, some of my shots are attempts at composing certain pages, this one is the cover of the book that we gave to our guests after returning home.

Now what do they say about creating monsters? This is a whole lot of fun.

Don't know how old this link is: http://www.graphic-design.com/Photoshop/vs_elements.html

There are reviews on all 3 programs PS, elements, and PSP available for reading. Google all 3 items.

Seems like a good article, though outdated. His comments on some of the limitations of PSP are clearly dated.

I think PSP has been put together with an easy user interface, but when you need to access more powerful stuff it's all there. It's clearly a program that can grow a long way with as your skills and interests develop.

Koi Pond - Grand Hyatt Kaua'i

The grounds of the Grand Hyatt Kaua'i are beautifully landscaped and maintained. It's a nice place to stroll through. Here's a view of one of the koi ponds, with Shipwreck Beach and the Makewehi Cliffs in the background.

This probably does not need to be said but I am going to anyway.

I want everyone to feel comfortable posting pictures here. It is not a contest of who is the best photographer, (no matter how green with envy I become ;) ) If you look through the thread you will see all types of pictures from scenery to family. No one should ever feel bad about posting a picture because they do not feel it is good enough. This is all about fun!!! :D :D



Post away!!!!

I agree Theresa. :)

I have Photo Shop and have never taken the time to figure the darn thing out!!:eek:

But my kids use it and are quite good with it.

So my pictures here are unedited, though I do like Steve's and others edited pics that really bring out the color contrasts.

Bryce Canyon

Between Gerald and I, I bet we took over a hundred shots in this area while on our Trip West journey. Many turned out not so good. This one, I played with and want to share it with you.

It's an example of getting two photos from one shot. The first was actualy cropped from the original. The second is another cropped portion that has been enlarged.

Chihuly in Pittsburgh

Hi All,

This is an untouched photo. The Chihuly exhibit at the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. I waited patiently for the fish to appear in the reflection of the Chihuly glass ball, as if it were encased in the globe. I love what water does for photography!
