I had considered linking your Blog to some of my blogs and websites as well but wasn't sure if you would mind.<br />Now I sort of assume that I can list your blog either in my list of Interesting Links or my List of Other Blogs.<br /><br />If you go here then you can see examples of some of my recent work with my digital camera. Especially the work regarding the micro-world, insects, spiders, etc. I used some of the technique ideas I gathered from you and other sources, along with my own experimentation, and my photography has improved immeasurably in my own opinion. Those who have seen my work seem to like it as well. I've actually become the de facto photographer for my church and other people are now asking me to take photographs for them. I've even printed up a separate set of business cards addressing this.<br /> <br />I've also taken your most recent idea about using photographs and altering them via art programs to produce new and what I think are very nice effects. (I used Corel Photo-Paint to produce those alterations.) Tonight I took a recent paragraph of a dam I explored on a Rudding expedition and altered it with various effects to produce both a day and night version of the altered shot.<br /> <br />I'm using these altered shots as graphic inclusions in a short story I am writing for Halloween (it is a story involving Halloween).<br /> <br />In any case you can see examples of some of the recent photographic work I have done using various techniques, some learned directly from you, by visiting these links:<br /> <br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/10/humours-of-idleness-grael-of-black.html<br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/10/humours-of-idleness-new-shots.html<br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/10/humours-of-idleness-rudding-expedition.html<br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/10/secret-mission-new-expedition-rudding.html<br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/09/humours-of-idleness-war-on-web.html<br /> <br />http://themissal.blogspot.com/2006/09/humours-of-idleness-spiders-and.html<br /> <br /> <br />Remember though, these are only .JPEG images, not the real shots. The originals shots are far superior.<br /> <br /> <br />By the way Opus Magnus means Great Work. Opus meaning Work and Magnus meaning Great in this case.<br /> <br />In the meantime if you would like to take a look at my photographic work and comment, review, or critique it and give me suggestions, then I'd be happy to listen to your ideas.<br /> <br />Take care,<br /> <br />Jack.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940703663598608926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34216814.post-15448251762835034652006-10-14T12:33:00.000-07:002006-10-14T12:33:00.000-07:00Lots of good ideas, examples, literate quotes (we ...Lots of good ideas, examples, literate quotes (we need that today) and lessons here. I'm blogrolling this for Digital Traveler blog. FYI--let me know if I'm correct about the following...Does opus magnus literally translate to "Roman opera?" Is its meaning "great work of art?" I'm blogrolling this and thanks for stopping by my blog!Matthew Bamberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160130147283361941noreply@blogger.com
