    You could make leaves like these.
    Then stay put, because it’s hard and I could use your advice.

    Photos posted, back up finished, the old box is getting shut down, gutted and a new heart (and lungs and just about everything else) being put in tonight. Win7, a return to Intel CPU’s, and my first SSD disk on the horizon.

    Oh, and a B-side: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rd-9KwCwGsc/T6HA9uO9e1I/AAAAAAAAGpo/-uRiZ8eoxmA/s800/IMG_2208-3.jpg

    Fence in the back yard, taken with the Nikon 300mm adapted to the XSi, I think that’s the SOOC version, I may have touched up the contrast and clarity slightly. Was backed up to the far side of the driveway with that lens on the camera, mostly testing sharpness, etc.

    A couple bees:

    Some shelves I built in my garage: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76727975@N05/6991269330/

    Funny cacti on someone’s lawn (maybe NSFW in some bizarre world): http://www.flickr.com/photos/76727975@N05/6991268132/
    This was in someone’s front yard that I used to walk my dog past all the time in my old neighborhood – I liked to imagine a jerk homeowner upset a landscaper one too many times.

    Also a random question, not sure where to ask. Is it legal to take a color photo and make it black and white on the computer before submitting?

    Hey Elsinore, would you please deletionate my old black and white cabin post 09:25:39? I have used that cabin (not that frame) before and, while it might do OK, I’m in the mood to post something more original. Thanks in advance.

    Heh. And then I still went back to an old one. I guess I’m not very decisive a noche.

    Yep that’s fine. Generally image corrections that affect the whole image or correct small blemishes are fine. (Remove a stray hair, red eyes or a pimple. Don’t add Elvis or remove the tree growing out of Grandma’s head. Convert to b&w or bump up vibrance, but don’t mess with saturation to get unrealistic or cartoonish results.)

    This ^^. Basically most “standard” post-processing techniques are allowed–b/w conversion, contrast, saturation, vibrance, curves, levels, unsharp mask/sharpen, noise reduction, and yes, even very minor blemish removal. But any of these otherwise legal techniques go too far if your resulting image leaves realism completely behind.

    Ahem. I still feel like you are talking right at me. 😳

    lol actually I was thinking more of some casual participant folks in the last few weeks who have submitted stuff toeing the line of cartoonish saturation. There were a couple deleted, and some that stayed up, but possibly should have gotten dropped.
