You have a tidy MAM collection in a display cabinet, any chance of some more photos?

Thanks, TALLY

Here's a few 'cutting room floor' photos that didn't get used in my PD2 photo story, although there is one which did get used it was tiny in the photo story. The camera i used mainly for these extras was a Pentax WG3, plus there's two photos from a Pentax Optio LS1000...

I'm really liking the few cutting room floor photos that didn't get used PD2 photo story Clivvers .

Thanks Ackie, i'm glad you noticed this little extra. I was testing out my latest camera last year, i've now tuned it to do even better.

I was lucky when taking some of the photos, MAM came in for a crash landing on my face, i ducked just in time, thanks to my boxing training!

Fantastic comic strip mate and some brilliant photography the Pentax has come up triumphant once again, blooming brilliant

Thanks Ian, i'm glad you liked the extra outtake photos, they were lying around on my pc doing nothing.

I love my little Pentax pocket cameras. I hope Ricoh/Pentax bring back the Optio series like they used to be, but keep to a low pixel count (10-12mp).
The pixel race got out of control, it sold cameras and phones to joe public

Yes mate some stunning shots all round and excerlent editing the comicstrip software looks a complicated bit of kit but really does a great job I'd like to have a go at something like this what is the editing tool that you use??

Ian,

I use various programs to do certain things.. I hand design in Drawplus then copy the designs to photoplus to be pasted into my photos, it gives a slightly sharper image for the end result. It takes time working with graphics, i'm still learning what the software can do three years into Drawplus, i had an older version before my latest version. I always use Serif software, it might not be the best but i find their programs easy to use.

I started messing about with computer graphics in 86/87 on my MSX computer, that's where i invented my matrix filters to get extra shades out of the limited 16 colour palette, i used to stack and join sprites. I also used to make my own Atari St computer games/demos back in the late 80's, sound effects as well. On one of my demos on the MSX was a highly detailed (for the time) Jet fighter taxiing down a runway, the illusion of movement and afterburner was done with moving and flashing coloured sprites! lol! I still have the tape with the demo on it somewhere from all them years ago.

i will indeed

executed perfectly! This is simply brilliant. It's so well done from the 1st image to the last. I am very impressed!!

I can't see your lastest photos for some reason...

Thanks chaps  



Jim,

Have you tried another browser: Firefox or Google? You can download Firefox and still get to use Internet explorer 9 whenever you want, i have IE9 & Firefox in use on my desktop pc. I use IE9 for watching Youtube HD 1080 vids, because vids seem to stutter with the Firefox browser if watched @ 720 & 1080p, i may have to alter the cached browser memory in the settings. This should solve the missing images problem.

I can see everyones pics even all yours clivves except for the pics in your last post...

One of your best, among many, works Clive!!!

Thanks for restoring the images. And I'll be looking for part 3 too!

...with a big telescope...
