i seem to remember a top gear episode where they ran a bmw 3 series behind a prius around their track and the bmw got better gas mileage - when driven like a prius..

wow, thanks everyone.

raw therapee & light table (might be linux only).

excellent shot, congrats!

thanks black pearl and richard.

congrats, first shot looks great

thank you all. kate - i loved your work, really nice stuff! the juggler was my favorite, but the bullets and lipstick shot was nice too. i also liked your light swirls from last year, reminds me of a spash screen i did for a piece of software we made at work. lee - i haven't used the x100, but know several photogs who have it and the x-pro 1 and won't give up the x100.

i use lightroom for 95% of my photography work, the last 5% of an image is done in photoshop. basically nik filters, resize, sharpen and watermark are photoshop duties for my workflow. if i didn't do photomanips i'd probably skip the full photoshop kit and go with elements.

thanks all. mrwall - #19 in odds & ends is master chief from halo on the beach during a visit to florida in february. it was supposed to be a sunrise session, but the sunrise was an epic fail. the toys saved the day. katew - would love to see some of your scifitography. just curious, are you a scifi nerd or just like photo manips? i'm a huge scifi nerd..

hello, my name's beth and i'm from a small state called delaware (eastern side of the us if you haven't heard of it). i do dispatch for the dept. of transportation, but we get all sorts of interesting stuff at work, for example, a mobile home wedged itself under an overpass yesterday on the interstate system. i do work odd hours including nights, weekends and holidays so i may be really active for a few days and then disappear for a few. i shoot with the fuji x-pro 1 and x-e1 and also have a canon 5d mk ii that's gathering dust on the shelf. mostly interested in landscapes, travel, nature and toy photography. I just started a blog earlier this week, we'll see if it lasts this time..
