Photos as wallpapers
Tuesday, February 24, 2004 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I’ve just been looking at the wallpaper section and amongst the newest submission I was struck by a couple of the worst photos I’ve ever seen. If it were possible to rate a 0, I would have.
If photos are to be allowed in the wallpaper section, at least let’s see something worthy of being called either a photo or wallpaper. These two should have hit the darkroom floor without a second’s thought.
Photography requires just as much skill as creating graphics. 'Point and shoot' takes no skill at all.
Fuzzy Logic is left speechless…

Sput, new season, same old ..... um ... 'stuff'.
MotoGP is the 'real deal'.
My Dad took me to my first 'Grand Prix' as a wee tacker in 1956 .... I returned the favour in 1996!
Once the last couple of real racers retired (Jean Alesi and Mika the Flying Finn) I ceased to attend, even with freebie VIP passes ....
If one has been present when Moss, Clark, Brabham, Amon, Surtees and McLaren ran wheel to wheel for the entire race (OK ... I'm almost as old as Jafo!) it's pretty hard to get enthused by a bunch if video gamers .... I was once asked how to 'fix' Effwun .... (aside from infection Ecclestone and Mosely with Ebola!).... I think the same applies today, kill at least 3 'drivers' each season.
Bit extreme but it certainly make the 'drive your opponent off the track' (Red car ...Blockhead .. Wink! Wink! Say no more!) experts think twice!
Wombats are known for taking a 'firm' line and sticking to it!
Back to the topic .... it requires a lot of luck, a certain amount of training, decent gear, but most of all, an instinct for knowing in a fraction of a second when to fire off a shot.
The same old attributes that make a good 'artist', composition, lighting, a 'feel' for the subject ..... a good photographer can get exceptional results with less than perfect equipment ..... while a schmuck with the best and the latest will only turn out snappers!

| The f1 season starts so soon?? Yikes! I've got to get cracking on geting the fantasy f1 database for work sorted out and getting people to pick teams and things in a week! I've not even looked at who's racing with who, or even which teams are running yet...I |
