Are you long-hand framing your pics in photoshop or are you using an app like Photographic Edges?
Beautiful pics, the framing sets them off very nicely.

Those were hand done. I've since gotten some tools but I don't ever do that anymore.

It looks nice on the web when pics are framed. Anything you can do to set them apart looks better, I think. I don't particularly care to see them that way in print though. Looks tacky in magazines, etc.

That one is really cool, except for the "rings" in the sky. I'm not sure what the name for that is.

its called you have a sh!tty computer monitor

because they arnt there in the pic, seems to happen on LCDs for some reason

Samsung 171S LCD here, I don't see any rings. Wonder what that's about?

for some reason certian LCDs show banding in the sjy on that pic and also on some other pics, it has to do with the fact that some LCDs cant handle the subtle color changes in grey as well as CRTs can, which is why CRTs >>> LDCs for photo work,

the banding isnt there in the print so its the monitor

I checked the pic of my wife's Samsung 151S, and it looks fine there, too. Must be a "you get what you pay for" issue.

BTW, the belly shot, awesome. I once saw a B&W shot of the curve of a chick's back on a white background that was one of the most stunning pics I've ever seen.

there are more here
http://rootminus1.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=6

one is NSFW

you took all of those pics?

More to come, but here's one that I'll post as-is because it's pretty sweet and doesn't need any fixing.

One

Few more to come but for now that's all I feel like.

Why are ALL photography class pictures B&W?!?! Has nobody come up with a "method" to teaching color photography yet?

But those are darn good.

color photo and B&W photo are VERY similar

the reason you learn B&W first is the same reason you learn algebra before calc, you kinda need 1 for the other

all the rules about tone, contrast, exposure,.... you learn in B&W apply to color and in color you learn nes stuff

and the MAIN reason is that BLACK AND WHITE IS CHEAPER!!!, cheaper film, cheaper chemicials,...... its also a lot less caustic to you and the enviroment

Thanks EyeMWing for the compliment and thanks Anubis for answering that... I am pretty sure that even now they still use B&W for that class, although I could be wrong. The enlargers that we had to work with were pretty old, but all in all I can say that the class was fantastic, one of my favourites for sure. There is nothing quite like doing your own work in the dark room - it really connects you to each pic! I'd have to bust out the classnotes to remember the process - very fun though. I still have my 35mm somewhere... if only i could put this Cybershot cam down for a sec...

For "safety reasons" our photo class had to convert to a digital photolab with film cameras. They bought two nice film scanners and two copies of Photoshop.

The dark room is now my "office" - the revolving door PWNZ, but makes it stupid difficult to bring stuff in there (my furniture? Inflatable)

Grrrrrrrrrowl! Tiger
Nature scene @ Busch Gardens, Tampa

Sunset over Gulf of Mexico from Clearwater, FL

These three were taken almost 7 years ago (the original BMP that they were stored as were dated 3/18/1998) with a crappy disposable camera.. at Busch Gardens, Tampa.

The tiger shot, there was a big, almost 1 foot thick piece of glass between me and the tiger. however, I love the fact it looks like the tiger is about 2 inches away.

The last one is sentimental, as I would meet my wife for the first time less than 4 hours after the photo was taken..

cheers,
