Just because you don't like someones taste in music there is no need to be rude about it. Anyways, nice house and the music was just fine. Nicely said, Assassin, and very true :) Nice house! Are you planning on raising your construction level to further improve it? :)

*giggles*

Although it may be harsh, what Georgelemmons said is correct. The illegibility of your previous thread was not the only problem. It was not Tip.it's fault that you were careless and died, and you probably know that. The Rants forum is for legitimate rants, not for bashing Tip.it when we have done nothing wrong. what is "trolling" supposed to mean? Trolling is essentially being rude, mean and/or sarcastic for no reason other than because you can or want to.

Three Hershey Kisses, last night before bed. I have yet to have breakfast (or lunch, since it's 1:20 pm) today. I'm waiting until my dad gets home from the store :P

Yeah the MP-E 65mm is pretty much the god of macro photography (I'm dying to try it out myself). But it doesn't focus to infinity so you have to be pretty die-hard about macro photography to buy one of your own. Last time I checked, it was at around $800, plus it is HIGHLY recommended that you get a macro flash which is another $500 - $700, unless you want a flash bracket which seems rather annoying to carry around. I'm very sorry, littleboy, for hijacking your thread :ohnoes: :oops:

They're certainly not fake :P I know a lot about the photographer and how he composes his images. Do you know anything about the Canon MP-E 65mm lens? That's what he uses. It goes from 1:1 to 5:1 lifesize. The Canon 100mm 2.8 lens has a MAXIMUM magnification of 1:1. So as a comparison: [hide=]My Image, at 1:1 Ratio His Image, at 3:1 Ratio or greater [/hide] Most of his images are taken at a 3:1 lifesize ratio, but it is possible to go even larger (4:1 or 5:1). His last two images above look to be at least 4:1. Water drop refractions are popular amongst a lot of Canon MP-E 65mm users, so the above photographer isn't alone. Here are a few images from a different photographer's work: [hide=] And here is another photo of his taken at 7x lifesize. The photographer used the MP-E 65mm lens and a Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter: [/hide] One reason why the images may appear fake to you is that many MP-E 65mm users use a technique called Focus Stacking. As someone who owns a 100mm macro lens, I'm sure you know how thin the depth of field can be at a 1:1 magnification. Well imagine how thin it is at 3:1 or even greater. You can learn more about focus stacking here if you don't already know what it is. The author of the article is actually the same photographer as the one I alluded two in my last post. The article also contains a picture of his set up (Canon camera, Canon MP-E 65mm lens, Canon 430ex speedlight, home-made diffuser). I too have heard of the method you described to keep water drops in tact, and although I cannot vouch for the photographer, he has said that he does not use that method. He gets up early in the morning and photographs the dew in his garden. Dew drops can get really big - much bigger than drops left on plants after it rains. I have encountered my fair share of dew when I had to get up early monday mornings for my gardening class. There would always be huge dew drops on all the plants, which I craved to photograph and finally did one morning: [hide=][/hide] I'd say that's a fair sized drop of water. Now imagine that same image at a greater magnification (3:1 or greater). I'd say it would look pretty similar to one of the above photographer's images.

From what I understand, the problem is with the phpBB3 code. We may be able to have a techie fix it, but it would be extremely difficult. I think we'll just have to hope that the phpBB team will eventually fix the problem themselves.

Add me to the staff list please? :) Thanks for keeping this up to date, I'm sure many people will agree with me when I say I appreciate your efforts :)

He could make his own natures if he's fast and has a decent runecrafting level or find someone with 91+ runecrafting to run for.

It's hard to consider his side when he hasn't even given his side :? The man was unarmed and restrained, there should have been no reason to shoot him. If there was a good reason, I'm sure the officer would have explained himself, but he has yet to do so.

AB :P Thanks for your support!! Better late than never ;) I'm honestly not getting much. I've resorted to just farming herbs every once in a while, since I've been so focused on runecrafting. When my focus was farming though, I was getting upwards of 100k xp a day, I think. Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your support! :thumbsup:

I agree with woopidoo. I read several Photography Forums and I have noticed that what actually tends to be done the most is insects. All subjects, including water drops, are done frequently, but that doesn't mean that they should be discouraged. And great point on lighting, woopidoo. Here are some water refractions from my favourite macro photographer: [hide=Large Images] [/hide]

Wow, really? Here in south west england I've seen many people walking around the recreational parks with a tiny little ferret on a lead :lol: I really don't see why there illegal, for it goes beyond my perception. They're illegal in a select few states in the United States.. California (where I live) and maybe one or two others I think. It's some BS about them being "exotic animals."

I agreee with pryomancer that the background is too noisy ad needs more stars and nebulae. I also agree with him about the title, Cataclysm. The scene seems pretty calm to me. But generally, I think it looks very nice.

you're 17. memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=106211 this game's too easy to cheat on :( But we can always turn it into a "guess the age of the person above you without cheating" sort of thing and i think laila/turtle are in their 20s. How do you know I haven't had three birthdays and been too lazy to change my age? Huh? Huh?? :uhh:

Great guide :) I hope you don't mind, but I looked into and fixed the problem that was creating the uber large font. The problem seemed to occur whenever you did something like: [size=150][hide=Introduction][/size] It wasn't liking the size tags around the hide tag. So I pretty much just removed all those. I took the liberty of fixing the guide directly, but I have saved the original, unedited version in case you want it for whatever reason. Again, great guide :) It has helped my boyfriend and I a lot.

Thanks so much! :mrgreen: Construction really is a ton of fun. You do have a nice level already :) Thank you for your support!! ---------------------- Well I got a lot done today! I made ~15k nats or so and the night isn't even over yet! (if I make more tonight at all, I doubt it will be many though) Here's what I got today: [hide=Large Screenshots]Marble Wall - 2600k Posh Bell-Pull - 130k Opulent Rug - 130k; Marble Fireplace - 325k Marble Portal x3 - 2925k [/hide] I'm one happy girl! :mrgreen: All that is left to build on the ground level of my house is a posh fountain (975k) to go in the garden, shown in the Marble Wall screenshot above. ---------------------- On an almost totally unrelated note, I got my grades in the mail today. I was soooooooo nervous because I thought I bombed my English and Physical Geography finals and thought that they would cause me to get a bad final grade. Well I was pleasantly surprised. [hide=My Grades]Calculus: A AP English Literature - Race, Class Gender: B+ AP Computer Science: A- Physical Geography (gardening): B+ Robotics: A[/hide] Daddy won't be grounding me after all :mrgreen: Haha.

Very cool looking!! :D Some nice skills too! The left side looks silly in comparison :ohnoes: Good luck with 91s! :thumbsup:

Fine :P [hide=][/hide]

I agree. Contrast is yummy :lol: You probably don't have do quite this much but I love contrast :P [hide=]Before After [/hide]

Thanks for posting the answer, it may help others :) Locked on request.

You shouldn't have told them that :lol: Do we count as mods? I want to play along too ;) You can guess how old I am if you like, I know most of our ages, but I know Howlin is 10. (No, not really.) They had already linked to it a few posts up :shame: I think it would be fun if the contest was for the whole staff :)

Haha love the game! I usually act like I'm 10 or 25 (so people tell me).. and yet I'm neither :uhh: By the way, looking at the Staff page is so CHEATING!!!
