another idea - do you have any hobbies? i like taking pics (both point and shoot and fancy ones), so i get an Olympus Tough 8000 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympu ... qid=1246312605&sr=1-3

if you have a hobby, maybe think about funding that. will it be more rewarding for you than gaming?

just a thought, really it's up to you, all we can do is give you ideas, you'll have to make up your mind yourself.

anyway good luck getting whatever you want and happy birthday

Quote from Blackout :

Anyways. Back to my shots, it's indeed a tank, but I was asking what kind of tank?

Second shot is actually the controls of a search light generator.

a big one?

where did you take those, an army base?

Jesus christ! 4,000 pund!!

how's this?

by the way, should i increase the contrast on the actual camera, though doing that just seems to make the picture lighter.

i see what you mean though, it has a much richer (right lingo) tone with higher contrast in photoshop.

below is the before and after.

p.s. DWB love the photos, especially the gold edging on the plant in the first one. where were you at the time?

Quote from G!NhO :

Try adding some more contrast and it would look great oli.

how do i do that?

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

I said it a bit too rudely, didn't mean to :&
Sorry oli A good cam but not really for serious photographing.
But you can always photograph and upload pics, i'll keep my mouth shut.

i like them, and that's all that matters i guess. hopefully other people like them as well though

thanks. that's the camera i got for my birthday.

how about 13 posts since the last actual fact

reached upload limit so here are the last 2

Quote from Blackout :

Paint?

Well, here some rubbish from the evening.
Can you name it?

Something that looks like the controls for a doomsday device.

tank and tank controls?

anyways here are some more of mine taken on holiday and in the past couple of days - a lot of experimental shots, so tell me if they're rubbish , any tips also appreciated:

Quote from G!NhO :

Rowing sucks, i always see them bastards in the harbor and its just nonsense.

They row about 100meter then make a 180 degree turn which takes 5 minutes. lol

well they obviously aren't any good! we row about 5km+ then make a 180 degree turn, which depending on the boat, takes up to about 1 minute, and then row back again!

so then:

Monday - 1:30 of gym (30 core stability and body weights - sit ups, push ups, squat jumps, and 1hr of weights)

Tuesday - rowing machines (2x5,000m)

Wednesday - 1:30 of actual rowing

Thursday - rowing machines (2x5,000m)

Saturday - 1:30 of actual rowing

Sunday - 1:30 of actual rowing



(i'm second from right below, but had a haircut since then :razz

i do rowing...6 or 7 times a week...even in this weather...

everyone post what they do. i'll post my training plan tomorrow.

by the way, this can serve as proof that you don't play LFS 24/7

of course i'll let you lol. so is there anything else i can do? it was a bit of a fail but feel free to change it. actually you could probably just copy and paste the logo in paint. anyway, good luck, happy skinning and good luck racing

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Thanks for your help. I'd say on the roof and on the left side of the bonnet.

About the logo : I didn't know that there were more than 1, but I guess the blue and yellow will do.

hi, i did it on the right side of the bonnet, otherwise the WWF (wildlife, not wrestling ) would be covered up. it's not great, and tell me if you want me to change it. maybe circle the areas you want the logos in ms paint.

anyway, let me know what you think, i'm happy to change it, if i'm given enough time

i'll do it, probably a little before the race (or tomorrow morning), but if anyone else has time before then feel free. i've got it saved and will do tomorrow. any preferences as to where and which logos?

Ati, make sure to give him the .jpg and .psd just in case any changes are required. very kind of you too

righto, i'll do that now, thanks

nice sunset last night...

edit: how do you get them to show up big as well as being an attachment?

i tried to change my number plate just now, and, as has happened before, i can't get more than a few letters! i noticed that if you keep the colour the same, you can do a bit more, but i wanna put "23 O. Halls" as my number plate, but can only get "23 O". can anyone help please?

attached is an example of what i mean.

Quote from STROBE :

Uuuh, yes, obviously. I'm not going to start putting pictures of 6 year olds on the internet without the permission of their parents who in this case are my clients/customers.

i'm still not following ya...

i meant Xaid0n. i know you did the right thing, i was just wondering whether or not he had the original .psd file, so he could move things around (layers etc.)

Quote from EliteAti :

Here you go. its 1024x1024 version though, you have 2048x2048 version of it?

hmm, that might want editing a bit, the number's covering up the logo. hope you saved it as a .psd file as well :S

Quote from Luke.S :

My mate was going to see him on his comeback tour.

so was one of my teachers and i think one of my friends, that's money down the drain

RIP Jacko

The really good quality Canon lenses (the L series, professional ones) start at £450 each, and range right up to the price of a brand new car.
