Artify #410

HFB1217 See Profile asked me to do the honors this week. I've chosen 4 stock images for you to massacre/manipulate. I also picked one of my own that fell victim to some condensation on the lens. It was a hot, humid day and going from air conditioning to heat caused the issue. I thought it would be a good image for those of you who like to recover or “save” images. I’ll post my recovered version in another post and if you’d prefer to work with that one, that’s okay too.

This is a very friendly group so if you’ve been lurking feel free to join us and practice your post-processing skills.

All the images have been resized to 1024 on the long side so all you have to do is have some fun!!

I'm cross-posting something that I posted in DI Chat, just to make sure it reaches a wide audience:

Afraid Of Hosting An Artify Or Creative Expressions Thread?

If so, then there's no reason to be.

While those of us who enjoy playing in those threads like to work on images actually taken by the hosts, there's no requirement in either thread that you have to provide images you've taken yourself. So it really doesn't matter if you haven't taken any pictures recently, or even if you don't have a camera - neither of those reasons prevents participation either as a host or as one of the Artifiers or CE'ers.

I haven't been taking many pictures on my own, so for the last year or two I've been using free stock images from a number of sites. It only takes a few minutes to pick out some images and voilĂ ! you've created joy and happiness for both the participants and the viewers - and, dare I say it, a little bit of peace in the world. What could be better than that?

Remember, too, that even though you are the host of the thread, there's no requirement for you to participate in the actual work on the images if you don't have the time or aren't inclined to for whatever reason. We've had a lot of hosts who have just been kind enough to post images for everyone to work on.

For those of you who may not be aware of the sites, here are some that I use:

TurboPhoto: »www.turbophoto.com/Free- ··· -Images/

stock.xchng: »www.sxc.hu/home

PhotoRack: »photorack.net/index.php

stockvault: »www.stockvault.net/

So the next time Hank (for the Artify thread) or one of the CE participants sends you a PM asking if you'd be willing to host, please don't brush it off. If you can spare a few minutes to help out, it would be greatly appreciated and will continue the great community spirit of this forum!
