HAPPY TURKEY DAY ALL

Happy Turkey Day peepls!

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!

**back to skiing**

It was so warm and sunny today I was going motorcycle riding after all the festivities but then the turkey coma kicked in.

Waiting for the snow pichers, D!

I've been catching up on my local reef club forum, and spotted this local reefer's tank.... nice huh??

Literally glowing. Nice.

Bill

Wow! That person must have a lot of actinics.

Hey, I tried that once!

I call it falling tho.....





That's a beauty Kim!

They have frags on what looks like pvc elbows on the back there.....cool idea.
Wonder how they are attached...Magnets?

A few pics in no particular order.

Great pics, S!

Richie, I'm not sure how those frags are attached on the back. I'll try to find out for ya!

That is a pretty slick way to keep frags up. Could you imagine putting an encrusting monti in something like that and then a few years later? The back of my 55 with a sunset monti the size of a dinner plate....SICK!

Bill

+1 GSP wall is lookin sweet S!



Tanks buddeh!




Exactly Bill!

Opens up a bunch of unused real estate in the tank huh?

DOO EETTT!

Thanks, friend brought his camera over but he missed a bunch of stuff I would have like to have gotten pics of.

LFS has Aqua-Mags I keep saying I am gonna try but havent gotten around to yet.

How the hell would I ever get it off? . Just have to keep the never-ending 55 running forever.



Bill

I'm workin on them!! Too many pichers!!!



lol...so did I on my first try

I have to say, I think tubing may be just as fun as skiing, especially since they have a lift for the tubing hill too.









Given much poking and prodding from my mother, along with "encouragement" from Amber and Lani, I am apparently putting some photos into a juried exhibition in my dinky hometown...

So part of that means that I need to choose something to have printed, and I've narrowed it to some that I wouldn't mind hanging up somewhere in the house (in case no one buys it at the exhibition). And thus, by Lani's suggestion...I leave it up to the WL group to help me choose which to print. If there's some other pic you're partial too, please suggest

12 photos, all proportioned for a 16x20. (Thumbnails are clickable for larger sizes)
If you want a slideshow version instead: http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/ar...mview=slideshow
Or the typical Photobucket view: http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/arwndsh/exhibition/










THANKS WL

Wait - are these the ones for canvas? Bromeliad, imo. But for an exhibition, they'd look better on glossy, mounted, matted and framed.

How many pics do you plan on submitting?

I thought about it for a couple of them, maybe the tidepool or the sunsets...you think no?

Thanks for the opinion Jeremai



Eh, just one or two for this one.

Even though I am partial to the Yellow Tidepool, I have to agree with Jer on the Bromeliad shot as first choice.

I'm with the others for the bromeliad. It looks like a small purple flower in a field of grass.

Should i consider that a second place vote?

Thanks




LOL ...and here I'd been thinking I was the only person who liked that photo

Thanks lakshadeep

Yellow Tidepool as my second place choice? Yuppers!

Some of the other photos are the kind that other people would instantly recognize as interesting, but I always like subjects that often go unnoticed.

so noted



I did get a few weird looks when I had the camera stuck inside a plant for that one

Wow this thread is long! I commented on something on page14...lol.

I really like the shore washing away... I think its a close thirds but the bromeliad definitely takes the cookie. Great Shots Man!!

Thanks for input and compliments!

So...bromeliad seems to be a print, and I got a tie on tidepool and wave on the pebbles for possible print #2...


need more votes!!!!

Tidepool.

thanks wee

So after white mat/flat black frame it would look somethin like:




Opinions??

Nice
But the white mat needs to be a tad bit wider, imo.

so that was 16x20 photo, plus 2" mat all the way around, for a 20x24 frame

you think 4" mat and 24x28 frame?


edit: and I finally understand why photographers ask what they do for photos!!

Lol, actually I would rather the mat be cut to 3" on the top and sides, and 4" on the bottom.

For Richie and the other guys wondering about those pvc frag mags, response from the owner of that tank:
"Yes, magnets from KJMAGNETICS.COM.

Rubber or Plastic coated, superglued to CPVC 1/2" elbows. These are the proper size for must frag plugs, so that they don't move around too much before the frags encrust."

me no like u

I would double mat it. Maybe white on the inside and then a lilac or light green on top. But hey, what ever you like better. if you do double mat it, make sure the color matches the color you want to be highlighted with the mat. So IMO, the lilac would be better.

I'm worried that that would make the framing look too busy for the composition of the image and end up competing with it. Nothings final on mat/frame yet though - gotta get the print and find a good framer first

With Lani's PITA suggestion



Wider mat I like...

I'm still conflicted on the weighted bottom. I like it, but then it makes me feel a little tense at the same time.

Years ago I worked at a professional framing shop, and they always recommended weighting the bottom of the mat, much as Lani suggested.

I should take some pictures of our framed works at home. My mom is great at this stuff. In one she though it would be cool to make two pictures out of one using a window? mat. The top has land critters and the bottom orcas and coral (yes, the artist should have researched first)

sure...it's just driving me nuts with that angle messed up at the bottom though

you've done a lot of stuff in your life havent ya wee?




o shaddup




I thought about doing a triptych from one of my sunset pans from Hawaii, but the idea of shipping a nearly 60" long frame back and forth from Kentucky doesn't sound appealing

Tankshoo K.

Gave me a few ideas there.....

--------

Daniel, I'd say the wave pic for the second also.
I really like them all, but that's not very helpful is it?
Great stuff buddy

lol...thanks richie

sent pics for printing

should get them in a couple days

Cool!

post up pics when they are done.....er....um...nvmd.

Brought the little one to a bday party at build a bear in the mall last nite and and santa happened to be there. Thought Id share the pic with ya:)

She's so cute!
I can't believe how much she's grown, she's a lot taller.

Awww, so cute!

That's an awesome picture. She looks like a sweet young lady. Santa's gonna go broke this year!
