Orton processing? Nice.

Yeah, I was going back and forth on how I wanted to present this pic including b&w (which really brought out the cloud contrast) but in the end this is what I liked the most. I cropped it to kind of create a pseudo-panorama feel. Even though you see a lot more of the dramatic clouds in the full size I liked the crop more.

This shot is great.

Appreciate it, Animal52! But I'll deflect credit to the film. I'm telling you, people have started to forget how amazing real B&W film can look -- even the grain (= noise) is eye candy.

You can get a good film SLR with a non-zoom lens off ebay for under $100; stick some Tri-X in there, and keep your lens ƒ-stop big (a small number, like 1.8) and voila -- instant art!

Ha, that's funny you should say that. I've been thinking of doing just that, but I didn't know what film to use, Thanks!

The spiders I made...I love to put my creations out where you might encounter them and these two (spider pics) are my favorite.

The other two were taken about a block from my home...the bridge one took me a lot of breath holding I loved it for awhile and now I guess it kind of gives me a blah feeling......then we have SnowDude and well...SnowDude speaks for himself.

I'm pretty proud of this one
 
Advice needed... for those of you who don't have your own website, what site do you use to host your photos... flickr, photobucket, something else? Thanks.

I use photobucket...there are some fun tools you can play with on there too...you're able to crop, resize...beautify...give it a different texture all together, slap some stickers on, give it borders...or simply upload and grab your codes to post as you want.

EDIT: I forgot you're also able to set your profile on there to private so you can use it as a place to mess around with your photos and not have everyone snooping into them.
 
I use Flickr mostly. If I want to share a set of photos with someone but not the world I use picasa simply because it allows them to download the original size file if they want to.

Flickr and Photobucket don't have that option. I do not care for photobuckets compression. It's almost as bad as Facebook. Flickr also allows you to make either pics or sets public or private. Most of them do that now.

oh yeah the ole deviantart...I need to check that out myself someday...thank you for throwing that one out there

LOL...I almost got in an accident staring at that same type of car the other day, went off in lala land thinking I'd look damn good in a car like that...I'm not a huge car person but there are a few that are some nice eye candy.

That Ren Fest looks like it was fun...I always wanted to go to one...we have a Medieval Times here but I don't think it would be nearly the same as an actual outdoor festival.
