Many thanks for the comments on "The Abyss", its one of my Favourite Underwater shots that I have taken. By the way thats what swimmers look like to a shark, and is the most vulnerable time for divers, being on the surface.

Scylla, That picture could pass as an Oil Painting, I think its fantastic. Jeb, willowmist, Az, FallingLeaves and Eoin, your pictures too are fantastic.

Alien Skies -- Entry

Postby Robb Hawklord » 04 Apr 2005, 19:24

Well might aswell reach the 3 entry limit now, lol

Entry - Alien Skies

Image

This was created way back in 1996, using my old Macintosh 6200, and a cheapo, art program called ColorIt 3 which was easier to use than Illustrator or Photoshop and cost about 1/10th the price. It is a scan of the original print after 9 years in a plastic sleeve.

It is all hand drawn using only a mouse, no artpad and pen back then.

Ok...this just isn't fair, all of you. Too many excellent selections for my Kat brain to handle!

Inner Temple -- Entry

Postby Scylla » 09 Apr 2005, 18:51

Here´s another one, "Inner Temple" taken at the Templar Church of Vera Cruz, Segovia, Spain, 2004.

The inner temple was where the Kinght Templars spent a night praying before being knighted. Very powerful place, and unique.

Hi Mika:

Here's a link to instructions for posting a photo:

http://www.druidry.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=9419

But since you already have uploaded to Image Shack, I would guess the part you're having trouble with now is this:

You have to take the URL from your photo when you look at it on Image Shack, copy the link and past it onto a new post here, and place that link between img tags, like this: [img]Your%20image%20shack%20link%20here[/img].

Send me a PM if you're still having difficulty.
