Well farewell to all I will not be renewing my subscription this year. I have to many projects on the to do list some which will take me out of town. Two of my children have recently retired from the Air Force and bought houses and have ask Dad to help do renovations. I have also become more involved in my local camera club which is consuming additional time. It has been good interacting with my fellow artist on this site and many will be dearly missed. I will check the site from time to time but probably will not resubscribe for quite awhile.
cynnocence : Nice to have seen your work my friend, though I am sure you will be missed, I understand since I too, am currently thinking about whether to renew my membership later this month. Good luck. Cyn

Ok I am trying some new to me anyway tricks. I saw a post by AKINGKUBO where the gentelman was tossing the little girl out of the frame. I thought it was neat and ask how. He answered and I have now posted one myself it is called Out Of Bounds or OOB for short. here is a web address with a tutorial if you are interested in trying it also. [www.freakingnews.com/hosted/tutorials/OOB_Tutorial_Serrator.pdf] It iis very easy step by step directions written for Photoshop but should be easly translated to other software that has a layers capability. there is much more if you just search on OOB photography. Dave
DivineCQ : I've been trying to work out this for ages! I have learnt how to do the out of bounds but putting another picture in the back ground is what I've found hard! thanks your a legend!

Digit : I should have guessed that you would pursue the methodology for the picture by AKINGKUBO. It intrigued me also but did not follow up on it. Thanks for the link.

darjenka : well , I have to tell you you have one hell of a collection of eagles in your archives ! Fantastic ! really enjoyed looking at your shots of these beauties ..I have to share this with you ..a summer day at the Lighthouse Park , Vancouver B.C. Canada ; we are sitting on the bluffs overlooking the ocean , far from any souls , nothing but eagles , seals , fish and other beautiful creatures , here comes an eagle full speed ahead ,over the surface of the ocean , gets his or her giant hooks into a huge sockeye salmon , but something goes wrong , he can't lift it up into the air , maybe not enough speed ? swam about 100 feet to the nearest rocks with the salmon still in it's grasp ...the wings were doing the motion of propelling the bird ..it was stunning to see ! we could not believe our eyes ...National Geographic material ! the one time we did not bring my second set of eyes ! wish I could have captured that image , but , more importantly , my mind has it for ever ...will never forget this scene
