Yeah...never seen that movie. My apologies.
God bless America, but she stole the "b" from bless.

wow. unbelievable. It's pretty funny...like a bunch of independent scenes laced together, though.

Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...

Hi Yurt,I got adobe photoshop elements 5.0 for christmas and trying to learn how to use it. If anyone has experience with editing any advice would be appreciated.
This is the tree/rock shot, my camera is just a point and click olympus 410, edited:

It is just a quick fix edit. I want to have my pictures look like DMP's or MisterBlue (though he is from the old site have not seen him here, unless new name) but I don't think any editing can replace a SLR with awesome lenses.
This is what I did real quickly with pieces of a number of your shots to get rid of parking lots, cars and etc. Obviously I added my own sky which would have looked better if I would have had one from there. I try to shoot a bunch of extra shots around the one that I know that I'll want in order to have stuff to clone from that is shot in the same light and etc. It is a different way of thinking, it's trying to plan for the photoshop version. I have had to do this a lot with the work I do.
Last year I was assigned some golf courses in Dallas to shoot for a book that was coming out this spring. I had no choice but to shoot golf courses that had already gone dormant, the trees weren't too bad but the grass looked dead and the sky was white. I shot it anyway and spent about 10 hours in Photoshop completely rebuilding the photo. I used a sky that I had shot the day before, greened up the grass, added some leaves and used the same sky inverted for the reflection in the water. I even repainted the flag stick.
You really can't believe anything you see today, I'm not worth a shit at photoshop compared to the people that do it all the time and have the faster machines with more memory, a wacom tablet.....all the tools. Photoshop is an incredibly complex program that I feel I have only scratched the surface of after 10 years of using it.

Nice work, Sitarro!

Did not know that about SLR, but it makes sense that I can't see the full image with P&S. I knew that actually from reading the instructions, but still get disappointed at home when I see the real image. Definately getting an SLR, might be a few months, so please view my pics with the understanding of my P&S. I will work on the composition though.
Sitarro:
uh, hmm, uh, ummmh, wow. That was so cool. I actually had to show my wife the differences, well she was glancing over from the laptop, but still funny to see her reaction cause she was there and to see the water so close to the tree and that mysterious windsurfer in that pic (our favorite tree) was incredible.
Thanks.
