In other words you are pissing off Santa. That is not good. I can get quite testy !!! What is making me upset? Why are not more people using the site? A lot of us LOVE pictures and that is why I'm gripping in here. \

We were discussing this in chat and I'd like to see what folks could come up with. They're quite easy to make, as they're just little gifs with transparent backgrounds. Most of the ones we're using right now are 16x16, but you can make yours...

I didn't take any of these. I scanned them from old books but I thought one or other of ye might have interest in seeing them. Feel free to ask any questions. They were all taken in Dublin City, at various times during the 20th century. The...

Go on, beat that if you can!

Picture sizing... ??? I have six different pictures. I want to copy a part of each picture centered on a particular spot and have the pictures be 2" square. The spots are not in the center of the pictures, but all over the place. I can't pull...

I'd like to see some spooky original photography! I don't have any photos myself (I don't even have a camera myself) but I'm sure most people have that family photograph with the strange blur in the corner, or lights where there shouldn't be lights....

I've recently gotten into an icon making craze and desperately want to share. I'm just going to pull out a few (of the over 150 I've made...) You can see the rest here. These are from 2000ad and old Batman comics. (Feel free to use...

Can't find the thread I discuss my art work in, but basically I make oil paintings working off photos. Recently I've asked three beautiful women (my GF, my daughter, and a co-worker) if they would be willing to pose for a short period for some...

I can just hear you asking, "What in the Hell is a Judas Goat, and why should I want to see pictures of such a stinky critter anyways?" (If you're not asking that, shame on you - try reading that question aloud, so you can get with the...

and her husband, and some other folks.

Six ("...and a quarter!") years old. Rapid City, South Dakota.

Let's post our favourite flower or nature pictures that we feel we did a good job of capturing! It's winter here, so these are mostly frozen or decayed in some way but still very pleasing to my eye.... First is this dried up hydrangea on a...

I'll start with an update of Dot.

Hey all, it has been asked that I sticky some info about posting images. To put an image in a post: 1) Upload your image onto the web somewhere. I like photobucket, but that's me. There are lots of hosting sites out there, pick your favorite...

So through constant bugging and whining from Myrna, I have finally decided to start a thread where all Mellophants can post pictures of themselves with their glasses. (Or without them as well so we can decide which look is best.) So without...

The target this time - the lovely dread pirate jimbo's Captain Kirk.

Maybe one of these.

Doesn't really have to be MSPaint, or as seen on TV. This is Winston Smith and he is selling the FlavorWave Oven (don't ask, there is no explanation). GO!!

See SmashtheState's revolutionary business proposal here. Here is mine. DON'T JUDGE! ZACHARY QUINTO:

Zoinks! What will we find? Let's go guys! Cripes! What is this? What mysteries lie beneath its drapes? A body? Treasure? I can't take the suspense so let's move on. Zounds! This must be alien debris! Something happened here, guys! I am...

This is an old picture of my mother and her twin sister. This was taken soon after they graduated from college and went to work as programmers at a Very Famous American Computer Company. The year would have been 1960 or thereabouts. Women...

Or your grandkids, nieces/nephews...whoever you've got who is cute as a button! I have a kitty, but she's too old & cranky to pose for cute photos, so I've got nothing to post in the kitty thread. So, here are my other little monsters: From...

When the kitties come in..... Food in the pump house... check. Food on the front porch.... check. Food in the hall of house.. check. Food is all the same with wet food and special food and people food and juice food in the hall. So, in the...

I’m setting up this thread for random photography Q&A, reviews of cameras, posting of resources, and similar stuff. Questions posted in lesson threads will still be answered. This is mostly for very-off-topic subjects. This is also a good place...

Not sure if this really is at home here, by all means shift it to a more appropriate venue. I watched a program on the Beeb last night on Annie Leibovitz and was seriously impressed. Excellent program, although too short, and a fascinating woman...

Mothman!

Every once in a while, someone or something comes into your life and gives you heart a little lift. After crashing into a bedroom window followed by a near miss on the ground with Jack (my cat), this little fella spent an hour sitting in my hand...

One of my more innocuous hobbies is taking photos, particularly of buildings. (They are much easier to take pictures of than people, because they never complain and rarely move when you take their picture). Here are few of mine, from four...

If you wish to skip directly to the (46) test images... http://picasaweb.google.com/lobotomyboy ... x06_12_09# Background: I have a hard time finding reviews on items I'd like to buy. So many Google hits are links to sellers, with “0...

Near St Ives: Me at the Lost Gardens of Heligan:

Her. All tarted up like JonBenet Ramsey on ugly. On a box of ice cream bars. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Who thought this would make people want to eat ice cream? And the thing is, Blue Bell is a high-end brand! :???: ...

I've been dying to show this baby off ever since I got her. This is EmmaLee: (Sorry I had to turn the pic to fit posting guidelines.) And a close up of those dangerous curves:

The DoMeBo Photography Class Lesson #2 – “A Photographic History” The delay in getting to this lesson was much longer than I expected, and I apologize for my absence in the many weeks since the previous lesson was pretty much finished. This will...

We have a young female coming in today several times. She seems pretty calm about us and the kitties. I hope this is shades of things to come this year.... :D

Our two wild cherry trees.

Spring tea on it's journey.

Following the results of the poll on images, image sizes have been increased to 1024x768 in TDR.

I just recently found a camera in the back of a box of stuff I never even unpacked in my attic from the last time I moved.. It had a camera in it with a "Develop Before 12/05" date written on it. I don't care too much about picture quality, I'd...

The DoMeBo Photography Class Lesson #4 – “Picture Framing” This lesson is about composing your photographs. Good composition is the most important you can learn to take better photographs. If you’re not participating in the rest of the class...

I had some running to do. Took the camera. Took the Blue Kawasaki and went to town. Just sat back and followed the big rigs. Navigation channel had dropped a few feet.

So I was looking through my RSS reader and went to one of those 10 best of everything sites and found this page. The qtpfsgui website has a good overview of HDR imaging. The software doesn't have a lot of documentation or help files, but trial and...

I used photobucket's "distort" tool to disguise these three pictures. I stretched one, I compressed one and I twirled one. Can you figure out what they are?

I was looking at a photo collection and this one shouted "Love". Choose an emotion or feeling and post a photo.
