Yeah the chest is kinda colourful isn't it! LOL. might rectify that a little.

Finished!! Approx time to complete: 9 hours

Good luck finding the dog. fingers crossed she/he comes home.

I use the paintbrush tool to create blocks of colour [or random squiggles of colour in some cases]

Thankyou I'm using Photoshop CS4 How do I do it? I basically block the colours, using the eyedropper tool to choose similar colours to the photo I'm using and then use the PS smudge tool to smudge it all together and building up the layers. What I've done so far has taken me about 6-7 hours to complete.

I just hate the fact she's roped me in to do the photos on the basis 'because I can take good shots of the dogs'. :D Dogs are a little different than human photos.

Here is a digital painting [unfinished] of my friend's GSD. My first ever attempt at this kind of artwork. What do people think? Constructive criticism appreciated and encouraged. [of course if it is crap, please tell me :D]

Thanks heaps for the insight Ash and everyone else. *gets ready to murder OH when he gets home* Ash no offence taken I know wedding photography is hard and I'd rather leave it to the professionals but from what I can tell she is disinclined to hire a wedding photographer. It's only a small wedding [her second marriage] and she has put OH is charge of PA, his brother in charge of filming and me in charge of photos. I have already planned to sit down with her and ask her exactly what she wants for the photos. She is down this weekend to get suits fitted for OH and his brother, so I might be able to catch her then. kja-thanks for the tip about the backup camera. I might ask my mate if I can borrow his for the weekend too. [same camera, plus he has a spare battery] I don't really enjoy weddings anyway

:p Love the shot of Rosie

I have been roped in [thanks to OH] to do his mum's wedding photos. But on the upside it means I don't appear in the photos! :p Anyone [*pokes Ash*] got some tips for me on how do do decent wedding photos? People photography isn't my strong point. I will be using a Panasonic Lumix FZ-28 camera.

ditto. you beat me to it!

My Splat shot. Nothing really special.

Love the last set of Bucket head!!

that looks awesome!!

I LOVE this shot. Chickens are awesome birds

Gremlins

DD I LOVE the first shot! It's awesome!

I means I can get a Splat photo and OH can get his Splat and Portraiture shot done. :cool:

uploaded my shots

same here

Yeah she's my baby...although she wasn't in a particularly helpful mood when I was trying to photo her but then again neither was OH who was sitting on the bed laughing at me trying to juggle a snake with cardboard glasses and a camera by myself! Love your splat entry! That's good.

Done on Shutter Priority to capture my not so willing model. Auto focus and flash used.

These are my entries for it: Practically Black Bokeh Close Up Portraiture None for Splat-didn't have time or any creative ideas of what to do

me and OH emailed our last submission with an explanation why. maybe do that and see if they do accept them.

I've sent an email expressing my concerns and I am also going to send an email with my remaining photos attached, to get them in before the close date.
