That picture would be even better if the sailor was in focus.

You guys are really hamming it up!

I love it, good snaps!

Dowly · 09-04-07, 09:54 AM

AAAARGH!!! I HATE THIS FECKING STUPID PC!!!

I'm making a screenshot for this thread, and TWO times when it has been 99% finished, I got an blue screen of death!!! FEEEEECK!!!

Tarjack, thanks for pointing out Picasa. Not only it compliments my older stuff, but the upload to photobucket is like 3 seconds vs my old speed of one minute.

Below is a sligthly doctored up copy of the first shot in this thread. More real?

Reece · 09-04-07, 10:14 AM

Hey now thats nice Brag, what filter is used to give that yellowish old photo look?

@ Dowly, oh crap, now that would really get to me, I used to get a lot of that with 98, & my keyboard always copped it!

(lucky they make em pretty tough!) but XP has been great, especially with Norton Utilities Win Doctor!

Dowly · 09-04-07, 10:16 AM

Nice one Brag.

Here's another 'slightly doctored' photo from my first WaW III patrol.

U-21 observes an secondary explosion aboard British small steamer wich was struck by two torpedoes shortly before the photograph was taken.

Brag · 09-04-07, 10:23 AM

Reece, thanks:
The yellowish is sepia, which most photo editing programs have. You can adjust the intensity.

In this pic, I also messed about with focus and grain (again, very slightly).

Brag · 09-04-07, 10:27 AM

Nice one, Dowly. Glad to see you're back in business.

Now, Balz been bugging me to post something that will glorify his ego :rotfl: :rotfl:

Brag · 09-04-07, 10:56 AM

Jawhol!! Me, me, me. Here is one of the war's most glorious scenes: Nelson sinking. And the Magnificent Balz using his superior skill did it with only one torpedo.

The Kriegsmarine is very lucky to have me.
