And why?When I was a Photo student the best part of the day was critique, others always saw things differently than I did. Imagine the person in the portrait is a different person in each frame, who do you think they would be?...

oneinchsidehop Thanks Dragon, funny, my kids HATE that one, 2 of 3 asked who it was, and if he was ever coming here! My oldest enjoyed laughing at the two of them. Actually we all had a good laugh. Now they get to do their own sets. THAT should be a hoot. The kids (my...

a great subject? I own a 2MP Olympus with 10X zoom lens. I have had some pictures that were great, some not so great. I had a Fuji that I thought was better, it was 4mp and had 6x zoom. My olympus point and shoot is really...

oneinchsidehop Nice shots on your site Andie! I really like the one of the sewing machine in front of the window. I grew up in Southern Md, and my Mom is from NC, those picture were like going back home for me. Thanks for posting that. What do you use for software? I...

I spent a lot of time on a site that was dedicated to hypermileing, using mostly driving techniques to save gas. I got my Subaru Wagon from 28mpg up 49.78mpg (just couldn't break 50! grrr.) Anybody here tried anything?

oneinchsidehop One of the threads from that site was centered around how to deal with going slow... without people killing you. Even though it saves some gas *I* don't have the guts to go 45mph on the freeway during rush hour! Folks came up with all kinds of ideas, bumper...

I bought my very first house last April and I'm so happy with it! It was built in 1921 so of course I wasn't expecting to have all the modern conveniences and I do very well without a dishwasher and tile floors and such. But...

oneinchsidehop Tell him about it!? He would'a thrown me out on my ear! All I plugged in was the stereo and an alarm clock, I don't think I was too abusive. I'm sure the whole thing broke two or three hundred city and safety ordinances, so I figured I was doing a favor...

oneinchsidehop There's a pro that sells ALL his gear annually on eBay, just so he can stay current. (Obviously, it's not me. I'm practically a ludite) I've seen some of his stuff go at market value, but I've also seen some of it go WAY cheap, $.03 on the retail dollar. All...

When I was 42 I needed a change and decided to get more piercings in my ears. After looking at the prices being charge, I decided to do it myself so over a couple of months I ended up with 8 in my right ear and 3 in my left. I...

I know this has probably been discussed ad nauseum but I've only been here a month or so and haven't seen it yet. I was picking out some earrings from my jewelry chest today and just marveled at it. I've always wanted one of...

oneinchsidehop Y'know, there are a couple of "schools" of feng shui, the Black Hat Sect says to avoid used things, not so with other schools. The Black Hat Sect does most of the writing (I have thought many times that in order to advance or be certified in the sect you had...

When I lived in Arizona, the ecosystem was so fragile that feeding birds could upset it and have a ripple effect that was more harmful than good. Now that I'm back in Ohio, I love feeding the birds! It's snowing right now...

oneinchsidehop Actually I just use a hot air popper, (garage sale- $1) that way there's no butter on the stuff I ship! A bag of popcorn is $1.69 at the grocery store, and makes about 2.5cuft of popcorn, enough for 5-6 packages usually. I put the original item in a plastic...

oneinchsidehop Thanks, actually I was hoping for people who weren't pro photographers, just able to give a reaction to it. The rest of the series is up my profile page since I don't know how to do multiple photos in a post, I'd love to hear your opinions. Right now I have...

oneinchsidehop It's true. Even though I do a lot of shooting (especially for online and catalog) at low resolutions, I'm shopping for both a medium format back and 35mm format SLR with a full frame sensor. But I sure wouldn't use the higher pixel count for everything. If...

oneinchsidehop Great! Now it's time to get the best out of what you have, do you have a tripod yet? I haven't been on I this board long enough to upload attachments, but there is a lot you can do with what you have. I just uploaded a series of portraits and a winter...

I've started doing some HDR work and I'm trying to decide whether to spring for a copy of Photoshop and use plugins or try something else. Opinions? Experience?

oneinchsidehop What other parts of Photoshop do you use the most? I've been using GraphicConverter on my Mac for years, and now I either need to update my OS, move to something on my PC, or pony up the bucks for Photoshop. BTW, I really love the lighthouse and "bdflowers"...

oneinchsidehop Hypermileing in the strictest sense is a type of racing, albeit very s l o w racing. It is a competition to see who can get the furthest on a gallon of gas. In case of a tie, lowest time to the mark wins. When I was in high school, and dinosaurs roamed the...

oneinchsidehop Actually PhotoMatrix is what I have used as a stand alone app on WinXP. It has been very easy to use and quite tweakable. Are you using the HDR that is part of PhotoShop or one of the other plug-ins? PhotoMatrix is also available as a plug-in for PhotoShop,...
