[RedSidedSPR]

This will be interesting...

[RedSidedSPR]

Is photoshopped picture's allowed? lol

[katach]

Nope. I think we went over that a few months back. :)

[GarterGuy17]

In what possible way could I make a 8 month old garter look like a giant ? Any suggestions as this will be tough for me :(

[RedSidedSPR]

Exactly why I asked about photoshop xD

[zooplan]

a small snake might look bigger in small hands
and perspective is sometimes a matter of fooling our eyes about size!

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah I got a few things to try. Lol it's my challenge for the month.

[katach]

Busting out the GI Joes and Hot Wheel cars. :D

Used to have a 1:72 Leopard 2A4 tank somewhere. I think all I have now is a 6" Hulk Hogan and an Isildur bookend. Oh and a souvenir of the amphitheater in Taormina, Sicily.

I live here and I dont have one :(


But I would have never thought about the cars though amazing idea , I still dont know what I will use.

[EasternGirl]

Hmmm...now this has become interesting. I wasn't even thinking of it that way. I was just thinking find a pic where one of my snakes looks particularly big. This will be fun. I'm a mom so I have all kinds of toys at my disposal....got an idea brewing already!

[RedSidedSPR]

I only have cars. Lol

Rooster looks sharp in a blue BMW convertable. >:]

[katach]

I got a decent shot. Willow was pretty cooperative with me. She got a worm as a treat after our photo shoot.

[kimbosaur]

Haha Kat, love it! How did you get her to do that?

[katach]

Bribery. :D I told her if behaved and did what I asked she would get a juicy worm. :D

[katach]

Well Chris, I call. There is my hand, lets see yours! :)

[chris-uk]

Well Chris, I call. There is my hand, lets see yours! :)
Good call, I think I can still trump it though. ;)
I'll have to plug my camera in and pull the photos off the card.

[katach]

Can't wait! :D

[RedSidedSPR]

I just took a freaking hilarious picture. Don't think I'll use it tho.

[katach]

Post it on this thread then.

[chris-uk]

Can't wait! :D

Done. It's all about the vehicle....

Dum Dum Dum
Dum De Dum

[kimbosaur]

I'm probably not going to use this one, but I really like it so I wanted to share :D

[RedSidedSPR]

idk wtf that is but cool picture xD

[RedSidedSPR]

won't be using this, because the boxes make the car look small, rather then the snake look big, but I thought it was hilarious

I could edit out the background but y'all are against photoshop xD

[kimbosaur]

LOL, you should use that one! Just crop out the boxes!

[guidofatherof5]

Or use a gaussian blur on the background.

Simple: print out a background of land and clouds on a piece of paper, and use it as a backdrop. OR, better yet, put up a pic on your TV or computer monitor.

[RedSidedSPR]

I asked if I could photoshop!!

[Didymus20X6]

I'm not talking about photoshop. I'm talking about creating a physical background - through use of paper and/or display monitor - to put the car in front of when you take the picture.

Back in the olden days, before they created all this new-fangled digital image manipulating software, that's how people created false perspective. But then again, back then, people also had to walk to school 8 miles through the snow uphill both ways in 105 degree weather with no shoes on. And they liked it!

[RedSidedSPR]

I do that. And like it.

But damnit I already entered the other one so whatever.

And I can't do that stuff. I don't have the software.

[RedSidedSPR]

Hell. I don't even have a printer. -___-

[EasternGirl]

Well it is an awesome pic anyway...

[EasternGirl]

I have a really cool idea for a contest pic, but I'm waiting for Cee Cee to shed first...she'll get really mad if I try to get her to do something for me while she is in shed mode!

[Didymus20X6]

I'm waiting for someone to take a pic of a snake on top of a globe.

[EasternGirl]

Not my idea but that is a good one!

Hmmm. I wonder what he might have in mind. :rolleyes:

[InsanePirateDragon]

I had a couple of ideas actually. I did have a white house model in mind, but I found something that I remembered I had that had... Don't want to say, I think you can tell from the picture.

[EasternGirl]

Didymus...my son is a wrestling fan...and he is going to love that caption you put on my pic! I was just thinking it would be hysterical if someone had an action figure of Billy the Exterminator! The fun you could have with that! :D

[zooplan]

Congratulation to Kat, who set the standard for all further enrties with her interpretation of my theme!
Kat you are a trendsetter.

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations to the winners.

I see the photo contest winner hasn't been here in a week. Does anyone know if he'll be online in the near future?

[Didymus20X6]

You could try PM'ing or emailing him.

[zooplan]

You´ll have to pick the next theme!
Congartulations Jesse!

[Didymus20X6]

Don't you mean Congarterlations?

[katach]

Great job Jesse!

[Didymus20X6]

CONGLATURATION !!!

a great game.

of our culture.

NOW GO AND

[Stefan-A]

Apparently there will be no theme.

Unless some other moderator feels like doing it, I'll throw up the month's contest threads in the morning, or whenever I remember to do it.

[Didymus20X6]

My niece absolutely loves the snake in the car. Every time I bring up this page, she immediately says (and you have to imagine a five-year-old girl saying this), "Hey Baby! Check out the fly wheels! Get out of my dreams and get into my car!"
