My new footer!!!

I just wanted to be a dork and point out my fancy new footer and avatar!

nice,i like it ,but may i ask why you picked this 1?

Gorgeous!

Hrmm, your logo almost looks like its eye!

i simply adore the photo itself -- truly no other reason.

i noticed that too geekette! I'm going to do a photo manip with
it and make it's eye my logo...we'll see how it goes.

btw -- my 3yo daughter has affectionately named the gecko "Snake"

OoO, good luck with that, it should turn out pretty awesome if you can manage to do it!

Lol, that's adorable...a gecko named snake.

Yep -- I liked that picture as soon as I saw it. I'm hoping that dM puts Axe in the getting to know you hot seat soon. I'd be very interested in hearing his story. I think his photos are great but I don't think I'd want to be as close to those snakes as he gets.

I think your idea to do the eye thing for your logo is awesome UNFLUX. Hope you can do it. I'll be looking for it.

here's 1 example of something did with the similar idea. It's a bit more
artsy than a true manip, but the result turned out good anyway.

- ORIGINAL PHOTO
- UNFLUX.PRECISION

I'll attempt to do the same kind of thing....stay tuned!

I like your new footer! great job!

just the text is a little hard to read

it's supposed to be...it's the same texture as the gecko.
I guess you didn't get that part

*snickers ominously*

I agree the text IS kind of hard to read...I mean its a gecko, not a chameleon

UNFLUX, its pretty. Character building.

Mine sucks, and I don't have footer.

what program do u use

i know it's a gecko, but I thought it looked better this way
than with color.

whatlikes - I use photoshop.

thanks. let me guess. u are good at it

I've always loved that photo since I first took it, and it's actually one of only maybe a dozen photos I took of that species (Viper Geckos). They're just a VERY photogenic animal if you can get real close to them.

They get to be about 4" long as adults (including the tail), and mine were a little over 2" long when that photo was taken - the hatchlings are only about 1" long total, SO adorable.

Considering this particular image was taken on an old Sony Mavica FD-83, with a 1024x768 (less than a megapixel) maximum image size, I was very impressed at the detail it gave. With the more recent Mavicas (I also have a CD-250), they seem to have sacrificed the quality of the macro mode's auto-focus.

I no longer have any viper geckos, but I do a lot of the reptile shows and have a lot of contacts in the reptile industry, so I can get hold of pretty much anything I need for photographic purposes. So, I'll get some more shots of these lil guys, and some of the Uroplatus (Leaf-Tailed) geckos soon enough.

The geckos always seem to have the most unique looks of all the various lizards, and are great photo subjects.


No comment, lol
