Bears!

[SaltFork]

May I join you?

I've recently stopped lurking and decided to throw some of my work into the mix. I hope you like them...

I took these in Yellowstone National Park back in May. The poster was done with a technique I learned on DGrin several months ago and it looks great printed 24x36. My son wants it for his room....

Excellent Shot :clap I can say I have seen one in the open and stood about 15 feet away from it behind a car :D and in my excitement I buggared up the shot :rofl ..... Skippy

Love the poster. I'd like to try this with a soccer photo. Can you tell me how you created it? thx

[SaltFork]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Skippy, ask my brother about missing the shot. He had a mama bear with two cubs on his side of the truck and missed them because his camera was set on self-timer..... :-(

This DGrin posting stuff worked out pretty well. Maybe I'll do some more....

I did a soccer shot myself and loved the way it turned out:

thanks for the information - looked at the tutorial briefly, looks fun. I have Microsoft Digital Imaging and not Adobe Photoshop - I'll try to see if I can do something similar using that software.:D
