the peephole continues...




We went to China beach today, it was amazing weather; sunny with light rain. We sat on the beach under an overhang and just watched the waves go by, well...I took fotos!

one of my best stumblings....



i love texture screens but haven't had too much luck with them, expecially digitally. maybe there are too many options. I have figured out to change the layer mode to darken and have just toally pumped up the brightness and contrast but still not really getting the effects that i want. I really like the effects from the TtV group, I want all that dirt on my photos!!!! I would like an effect that resembles dirt on the end of a film reel. possible?

peephole = fisheye




just made this door peephole into a lens attachment...lots of info online about it (more specifics then I have), has some interesting results. Its still hit and miss for me. do a google search and u will find out tons. Generally, if there is a straight line in the foto it will be distorted, things VERY close to the lens, and taking the photo on an angle (up or down) seems to usually produce an interesting image. oh, and circular subjects as well. Anyone else have any info on the peephole? let me know
