    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Thanks for the Kudos. This weeks subject is going to be a little different. Rather than a specific subject it's going to be some sort of special effect. It can be something like special lighting as a sunset, silhueotte, backlight, different camera angle, etc. Jedz photo of last week would be good example or some of the sunset shots from weeks past. Photos can be reused. I'm off to visit the grand daughters for the weekend so if this subject is a little weird I can come with something else on Monday.

By "special effect", in your example anyway, you mean "photoshop type manipulation"/ "post shooting editing" ?

In your example, I dont think anybody else is going to have any thing like that. Looks like some quite advance features/function/techniques. I dont even really know how something like that would be done. I can only half guess: Multiple image files/shots (with and without tank-seat-sidepanel). Then use, I dont know, Layers(?) and Masks(?) , er, um, ah, Blending(?).
All I know is Paint.Net and use only cropping and occasionally some rudimentary "Clone Stamp".

I thought this might fit in here. Sometimes a malfunction produces a cool effect accidentally.

Not necessarily post editing. Different angles, lighting, sunsets, silhouettes, ultra wide or telephoto, etc. Lots of stuff you can do with a regular camera.
 
Not sure if mine falls into any of those categories but that's what I'm going with.

I had tried to take a panoramic shot standing on a ledge and the camera was still working when I jumped down, resulting in an odd shadow and horizon on the road under the camera/ phone.

Unless you only have an iPhone and don't use a regular camera. I'm out of the running for this week but I am very much looking forward to what people come up with.
 
I'm not part of the game but Trevor is. And seeing as he's out of town I thought I'd borrow his 750 and take it for a joy ride to Paris and park it in front of the Louvre......

 
Lighting..... I passed this spot when picking up my son from a friend's house and thought it would make for a cool pic. My mind must have saw something better then what was actually there - when I rode over I was disappointed, but grabbed a few pics anyway.

NOW THAT IS STUNNING!!!!
Awesome Picture...
 
Toughie... This one was one of the first action pictures I tried playing with lighting, color and selective blurring and contrast... A too add action to a still frame.

Wow. I thought this weeks subject might have been a little over the top. The photos submitted so far are proving otherwise.
