+SD Rowdies Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Photographically speaking you should remove the distraction of that other guy in the red tee. That's always the problem, isn't it? If I had been the one taking the photo, I would have waited until the Red T-shirt guy was out of the scene. But when you hand off your camera to someone else, you never get quite the photo that you envisioned in your own mind. (Thanks for the vanishing act...) Once upon a time during the bygone film era I waited the best part of an hour to get a shot without the many distractions of a crowded location. Now it's the least part of a minute with Photoshop content-aware tools. Shazam! a distraction is either gone or moved. Edited September 18, 2012 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment
+SD Rowdies Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Hmm, maybe a better question would have been ... Any rocks, gravel, and dirt on Mars? Trouble is that the rocks, gravel, and dirt are just a thin candy shell around a taffey-like interior and a molten core. Note to Self: For Geocaching, what more do y' need?

Seems like I've seen that kid somewhere before...on a milk carton maybe...? Aine cute? Harmon bibbed and Nancy harnessed in 1942 while passing through Abilene, Texas. It's a rare shot 'cause I have shoes on 'cause we were there to visit my grandmother Ila Mae Reeves. Only got t' wear my shoes for important social occasions. Thang was that during WWII leather was a rationed commodity so kid's shoes had cardboard soles. If y' stepped in water then the stitches pulled through the soggy soles and so th' shoes were ruined with th' result that you got y'r butt beat for being stupid enough t' ruin y'r cardboard-soled shoes. To this day I'll take a DNF rather than walk through water for a find. That's why I have such a small find-count. Another side effect of my upbrangin' is that I ain't got no butt t' speak of. This picture is from my mom's old photo album. It's a really big photo album of maybe fifty large pages with an average of ten photos per page. I appear in three of the photos. So it goes, Poor ol' Harmon Edited September 22, 2012 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment
+SD Rowdies Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Something you have never before seen ... Depth-mapped carmel corn sphere on carmel corn background. If you know how to decipher depth-mapped spheres then you can be FTF on an interesting new style of hide. By the way, depth-mapped carmel corn maximizes flavor and crunchiness for a superior taste treat. Oddly enough carmel corn kernels that have been depth mapped have a very long shelf life and so can be used as Geocaching travel bugs and even as tiny, long-lasting scouring pads. In the words of Team Fatman, having served as a laboratory taste tester, "Whooeee, them thangs'll shore clean y' out!" My pleasure, Sweet ol' Harmon Nte to Self: Made me giggle, tighten my tummy, and bang my heel on th' floor. Note two Self: Facebook, buy at $38.00 sell at $15.00. How does that work out?

I'ma no toucha that image! As a follower of this Forum thread you surely have noticed how cautious and considerate I am when it comes to photographs of women. Respect for the fair sex is my cardinal rule. Just ask around and you'll see it's so. On the other hand I will take this risky chance to say that the tattoo girl might just possibly benefit from a semi-regular dose of pork fat. Besides, shopping for lace in Burano brings out the best of a beautiful woman. Ciao, Sweet ol' Harmon Note to Self: With Photoshop everything is possible.

Janie aka Splashette Hi sweet Janie, You and Red Baron surely get around. Don't know what I would do without that shot of you mowing the extensive estate-lawns of your east-county Baronage. It's one of my two favorite shots of you. Hee-hee. I'll bet that you caused a sensation when you mowed into the JPL rover-test complex.

Hmmm...As I recall, you had used Photoshop to remove the guy in the background with the red shirt. It's seems that he was just hiding... Ha! fooled you, there were two guys in red tees in that image but I removed only one, or to be precise I removed one and added one. Story of my life, nobody notices poor ol' Harmon. Spent half my youth on a Greyhound bus trying to catch up with my mother and stepdad. I often wondered why they always moved after I went to bed and fell asleep. On the good side I developed a terrific sense of direction. For some reason I can't figure out a LLOT photo is most-often used when I'm experimenting with Photoshop techniques. It won't seem obvious from the image above but in this case the experiment has to do with mirroring cityscapes so's they seem to be at lakeside. All I need now is a cityscape image as opposed to your rock-pushing image. Quote Link to comment

+M2 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) A few years back I put up a web site for SD Cache Event Team photos. I've had a lot of fun with it, but it doesn't see much use of late and it is time to retire it gracefully. I know Harmon uses it a lot, but Facebook has evolved as the more common way to share photos and comments about our favorite outdoor activity. If there are photos on the SDGeocachers web site you want to keep, just download them by right-clicking on them and choosing 'save image'. I will be archiving the site contents, so if you have a large number of photos you'd like to preserve, please contact me and we can work something out. Harmon: I've got your back, ol' bud The web site will 'go dark' on 15 Nov 2012. I've had a lot of fun with the site and I hope it has been useful for the Cache Event Teams over the years. I don't geocache much any more, but I'll always treasure my "first to find" on the DAK Girls' TOMB RAIDER cache. That was a tough puzzle cache and a great adventure! I still get out exploring the San Diego (and AZ, NV, and UT) back-country quite a bit. I hope to run into some old geocaching pals on the road!
