May I join you?

I've recently stopped lurking and decided to throw some of my work into the mix. I hope you like them...

I took these in Yellowstone National Park back in May. The poster was done with a technique I learned on DGrin several months ago and it looks great printed 24x36. My son wants it for his room....

More from my trip here.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    How did you do that?
    Love the poster. I'd like to try this with a soccer photo. Can you tell me how you created it? thx

    Thanks...
    Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

    Skippy, ask my brother about missing the shot. He had a mama bear with two cubs on his side of the truck and missed them because his camera was set on self-timer..... :-(

    This DGrin posting stuff worked out pretty well. Maybe I'll do some more....

    You can learn about OOB'ing (Out of Border) at this thread:

    I did a soccer shot myself and loved the way it turned out:

    thanks!
    thanks for the information - looked at the tutorial briefly, looks fun. I have Microsoft Digital Imaging and not Adobe Photoshop - I'll try to see if I can do something similar using that software.:D
