REALLY nice response. Never know when a photo like this will come in handy. Great association.

This was taken in the courtyard/sitting area at Meteor Crater in Arizona.
They had built this wall with a big hole in it.
This is just a photo of that hole!

How did you acheive coloured flags in a b&w picture? #927. Beautiful effect.

I wanted to post this in free association in response to Torgas's # 953, but I didn't take this, it was emailed to me.

I'm not sure RM did his, but in general you can do this effect in photoshop. You make a second layer of your picture. Set one layer to B&W, then you either use the history brush to reveal the color object, or you delete the object from the BW section, revealing the color layer below.

That is pretty funny. He really didn't want to grease those splines..........

You might enjoy this. A portable Margarita blender powered by a lawn mower motor. Seen at Laguna Seca, and it made a decent drink.

As SheRidesaBeemer said there are more than one way to do this. I masked out the flags then used PS to remove the color from the layer but with the "mask" on the flags they were not affected so after removing the masking layer they retained their color.

and thanks, it from my Poem "A Walk Among Hero's" that was taken in Arlington Cemetery of a honor guard I saw on one my visits there.

Ok raise your hand, who does NOT have a tent picture? You may as well say you don't have a bike picture.

Me.

Actually I have a bazillion tent pictures somewhere on paper or film, just none are digitized. None with bike as I have yet to go bike camping, but will be fixing that this summer.

Whilst the number of photographs available for posting here are no-where near being exhausted, is it just me, or have the topics become very familiar and almost predictable, obviously apart from those that just appear to be related to a theme only by the fact that they are ...another photograph?

Where are all the envelope pushers, the outside the boxers, the whatever corporate jargon is current for imaginative thinkers?

Please, let's see if we can expand the themes and stretch these associations beyond Utah landmarks and someone else's bike. Even Beemerchef has shots where his dog isn't in them and if he can do that, so can we....variety, obtuse, creative, bizarre, thought provoking.

Some beautiful images being posted none-the-less.

I don't have a tent picture. I've never found my tent photogenic enough. Now if you could capture smell!

I would just like to say that all my bike pics are outside the boxers.

(sorry, couldn't resist, blame my Father he taught me the "fine art" of punning and to never Ever give up the opportunity to do so!) Ha Ha
