@tyan: LOL, well know sweetie ask him for your heart's desire ;)
Wow this is gorgeous! What is it and how did you take it?
12 Nov 2007 3:26am
@e.: Hey e. thanks so much. Ok first you take a crystal or at least clear vase, then you wait until the late afternoon sun comes in throught the glass doorway, then you put the vase on a tile with sort of a marble effect and you wait until the sun hits it just rights (that means you take about 40 shots) LOL wait I'm not finished, if you have 3 cats, then you must shoo them away at the rate of 10 times per second., then you catch just one that either adds a black or golden spot. Then you download it,shadow it, throw some of it focal blur, Eh Voilà...no trouble AT ALL ;) Oh and I threw in a few cerulean (a sophisticated blue) -I made that up- shade
Absolutely fantastic.
