Forum: The Dark Room

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...

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

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!!

Maybe one of these.

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

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...

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...

I'll start with an update of Dot.

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...

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

and her husband, and some other folks.

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...

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'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...

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....

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...

Go on, beat that if you can!

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...

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...

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. \

I just saw this picture, this morning, and had to share:

(Disclaimer: No I am not attracted to John Boehner, I just wanted a childish pun to start the thread off.) I tend to get most of my national news from the radio and I guess I've never seen a picture of House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA)....

Has to be seen to be believed. Can you spot the Mars Rover?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w

Okay fire away guys. My next post will mine.

There isn't much green here as we're still early in spring, but I got what I could. This is all at the bottom of my street on a ski trail behind the old high school.

Photographic or otherwise, post ’em here. If there’s a story to go along with it, post that, too. Taken on Maui in one of the many waterfalls on the road to Hana. The water went from ankle-deep to eyeball-deep in one unexpected step. I was...

Apparently my avatarlessness is an eyesore, so I've been ordered to invite the mellos to unleash their creativity and insanity to create for me the bestest avatar evar. Aside from the obvious reward of seeing your work proudly displayed until I...

Let us see your photos of spring.

First the USS Constitution. Ole Ironsides. Oldest Naval Ship afloat.

Kyoto, Japan Slovenia Prague, Czech Republic Lake Garda, Italy

Andrew Zuckerman has spent the last few years taking high-def pictures of birds captured against a white background. And the results are stunning. He has more on his work here

I've been meaning to share some sign pics for a while. Finally, on vacation I have a few minutes.

Or Flicker, or whatever you use. The more nonsensical the better.

I am not going to pretend that this isn't just an excuse for me to show off pictures of my new kid. But if you have cute baby pictures for people to look at, feel free to post them too.

I thought I'd start a thread for random mellophantastic photographs. Here are a few I took late one night in my home town. Criticisms, comments, death threats all welcome. Some info on the pictures. The castle in the background is...

Apparently these are the stereotypes that America has about Europe. More amusing mapping Stereotypes over here. Somehow the Britain's view of the "Evil Federated Empire of Europe" seems so appropriate.

I took a class of lil uns to the croc farm yesterday, and managed to take some photos. I learnt lots of interesting stuff about these creatures (crocodiles, not so much the children) and tasted some croc. Tastes like chewy, gamy chicken. Yeah. ...

Sometimes they are so horrible they make the main news for all to see. Here is Japanese Cosmetic Giant Shiseido, with a really bad hack job What are your best photoshop disasters?

A few months back, we were over at a friends parents place for dinner, relaxing after a big, tasty meal. It was discovered for some reason that a frog had entered the bathroom. Of course I put it in a cup and brought him home and named him. Look at...

It is foggy today. It wasn't so much yesterday, so I was motivated to head out and take snapshots. I intend to do more of this as time goes on, the neighborhood has some pretty cool things around. (Please click on the thumbnail to get a bigger...

The other day I went for a little walk, and snapped a few shots of the downtown area of the (very small) city I live in. And since I'm sure you're all probably really excited to see North Adams, I figured I'd share. :lol: This is the eastern...

It is true. Sketching is how I relax, and now it is also how I pad my post count. If pictures are worth a thousand words, then I reckon that a napkin doodle ought to be worth at least fifty. Granted, I hardly ever finish a picture, but I have...
