Saturn rockets that sent man to the moon back in the 60s-70s.

This building still exists, used now to assemble spaceshuttles.

quote: "At 52 stories (160 meters or 525 ft), the Vehicle Assembly Building is not the tallest building in the world, but it remains one of the largest. With a volume of 3,664,883 cubic meters, it can hold nearly four Empire State Buildings. "

Like the shadows played out on her body. Shame she has knickers on though.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/kissingkats/belleback.jpg
Just liked the curve of the back. Backs are so sexy. :D


And some Monroe pics. She was such a sexy curvy feminine lady -

http://members.lycos.co.uk/kissingkats/bellemonroeback.jpg
Not looking how people percieve her in this one, again it's got backs in it. ;)

http://members.lycos.co.uk/kissingkats/bellehappymonroe.jpg
Looking like her usual famous self. I like this one as it just looks like she's having a ball. Such a happy expression on her face, you can't look at it and not smile with her.



...And that is it for the moment folks. :)

Im sorry, i dont have any information about the image.. wish i did!!

In all honesty, im pretty sure it was edited :p
Whoever did it, did a very good job!!

[manny]

I'd hazard a guess and either say it was a very long exposure time or several pics taken from the same spot and photoshopped together.

I'm going more towards photoshopped, i mean pink lightning? :confused:

Yeah i see where you are coming from.

Pink lightning would be odd if real, so i think it's probably photoshopped as well :)

Good observation.

Actually, it can be done without photoshop.
It's definately a long exposure, but if you slide color gels or filters in front of the lens before the flash of the lightning, it would make the lightning that shade or color.
You can also do the a similar thing by holding the shutter open, and popping a strobe flash covered with a colored gel.. It's called flash painting, or painting with light.

on another note, here's my contribution :)

Erhem.

Post images than you think are amazing in some way or another.

^ Just because you do not think much of them does not mean they are not 'decent'. You said post 'amazing' images, others might think they are amazing, it isn't just camera tomfoolery that makes a picture amazing you know.

:mad:

[manny]

i'd hardly class someone cutting together some pics and putting dodgy vertical text amazing tho.

edit: and to top it off, its image leaching.

edit2 : also it looks airbrushed to hell.

[katox]

That is your opinion.

[manny]

my opinion on my guest forum? :isay:

[katox]

I thought you had given up on that honour.

Airbrushed? Aren't most photos these days fiddled with in some way?

[Loveli]

Less talk, more pictures you two. :p

[Microman]

i will be duble posting ( i wish i could attach more then one file per post)

this one i got off of the site for the newest FF
i thought it looked very nice

[Microman]

if you have seen the desktop thread you have seen this(notice the icons) but i just think the capture is very funny

[manny]

fuck it

next time i wont bother to put the effort in
