Dfchester: [img=http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt206/samtheninja/Banners/_chestersbanner.jpg] I really don't like working with this render.

Scan your computer, just to check you don't have a keylogger.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome VjuliusT, or Julius, as the latest recruit to join the shop. We all wish him good luck, and a great time working for the shop! If you are interested in becoming a recruit for this shop, PM me, with a few examples and a paragraph on why you think you should join the team. We've also decided on a new name - Illumination; not to worry, we're still the same shop, but with a different name! Regards, Sam.

I like that photo, it's a shame the sky is blown out.

Brainstorm Operations - Violett

It just so happens that the biggest music festival in Europe is being hosted right now, about 5 miles from my house. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_festival

Kittens, photography, music.

I can't stand fanboyism and competitiveness between things; e.g Windows vs Apple - can't we all just get along? :|

PD Syndicate Feat. Courtney Melody - Ruff Like Me (Shy Fx & T Power Remix) Ministry of Sound: Addicted to Bass 2 is aweomse.

Also, the many pin-up pictures will be remembered - one of the reasons that she was first famous for.

I download: Mozilla Firefox and add-ons/themes/plugins/dictionaries Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Illustrator CS4 Spotify last.fm tweetie limewire autopano pro picasa an instant messenger depending on the OS avast! virus scanner spybot s&d ccleaner I'll also transfer my graphical resources (PSD files, 3d shapes, fractals etc), probably most music.

I'm still waiting on The Chronicles of Matt's Folio: Helevetica :mrgreen:

Pen/Path tool > right click and there should be an option to either "stroke" or "brush" path. Then, find the equivalent of blending options, or layer styles options; it looks like this on photoshop: I'm guessing there's an equivalent of this toolbox on GIMP? If there's an option on this box called "Outer Glow" then choose that with your chosen glow colour. I guess you could probably duplicate the layer, move the duped layer below the original, and apply a gaussian blur to it, then adjust the colours to make it a glowy sort of colour. Sorry it's a little complicated, this post was based on my meager knowledge of GIMP - the best GIMP artist around here is probably Mrshinyredplanet, so I would think about PM'ing him. Also, I would try PM'ing Tripsis about macro lenses, she also lives in the US and will be able to help you probably a little more than me. You could also talk to Woopidoo2 aswell.

So you bought a farm, grew a field and placed a piece of agricultural machinery, or did you just find it and take a picture? :roll: :roll: :roll: It's just ok for me to do it :mrgreen:

Did you actually make these or do you just take them off the NASA picture feed? :roll:

Have you considered looking at Jessops Digital Camera Section? Jessops will often do good bundle deals, with memory cards, perhaps higher powered batteries.

If you want a proper DSLR, £100 won't get you anywhere.

What country are you from, it'll be easier to recommend you equipment then, and the sort of prices you'll be paying.

Devildriver - Bound by the Moon

He'll be truly missed. A childhood idol of mine - his dancing was just amazing.
