Midge, absolutely stunning. Oh and the girl in the dress is attractive too.

Not at all, said daughter is but 21 years old, has a couple of degrees and still studying, one of them is a B Sc majoring in Neuroscience (a subject in which she achieved a perfect score) so she's a fair dinkum expert in things relating to the brain, and was the one that introduced me to the Foil Beanie site in the first place.

(We share a similar interest in all things!)

She was particularly concerned that no alien mongrel would steal all our happy thoughts on the day!

Cheers,

P (It was the least I could do!!)

Midge,

Lovely photo, the foily suits you.

Just one question if I may? Al, the grand foil master and Grand Puba of the foily order,only wears a silver one so why are you wearing a gold one? :eek:

Bit Queenslandish is it?

Peter.

**bitingmidge** · 20th March 2005, 07:56 PM

Peter,

No Aluminium is the ONLY material that can be guaranteed to work all the time!! It's just a trick of the light that makes it look gold, but it is very much a proper aluminium one!!

(Of course the shape is a little flasher than the normal one, because of the occasion.)

Cheers,

P

Rocker,

Happy to relate that this photo, and shots either side of it on the digital
"roll" have not been retouched.

They WERE however taken by a pro called "Rob" (I think his mother might have been an alien, judging by his hair)

Cheers,

P

Your comment that the photograph was not retouched in my opinion rasises a very valid point.

In these days of digital photography I think all photographs should have a caption added to the effect stating: Manipulated or Unmanipulated. In fact I think it should be almost an international law?

Interesting point.
The Port Fairy Tourist Info Centre has a photo of the 12 apostles with a nice sunset behind them. (Apparently the sun must have set in the north that evening.) And none of the tourist centre workers were even aware of it!!!!

Yep :eek: !!
Yep, a fabuloso day...

No, Rob is a friend of my eldest (a photographer) and did the honours for us, just a whacky bloke who fits in pretty well round here! (and a pretty good fashion photographer to boot!)

Cheers,

P

Most digital photos are manipulated in some way, for instance the shots above have been reduced to 72 dpi from an original "neg" from a 12 megapixal camera.

We have about 400 shots from the day, and even the better ones may get a small amount of doctoring, a sharpening or softening here or there or at least a crop.

Photos taken by me usually need a good deal more though!

Unless the image has had additional additons or subtractions like removing something from the background or adding an object into the composition, I don't think it is any different to using filters, advanced darkroom techniques or even hand colouring in the old days>
