Hot Wheel Memories (with reflected self)
The notes have Hot Wheels stories, please add your own.
Here is the larger version
This in in the same style as "The Hill" photo with goat's stories
=========
I saw that you had some interest or experience with Hot Wheels. It won’t take more than 5 minutes of your time.
This picture is annotated 3 of the cars with short stories about experiences I had from my childhood and hotwheels.
I’d like you to put notes on 1 – 3 of the cars in the photo. These can be humorious or not, sad or any memory you’d like to tell/share.
This would be in the same vein as www.flickr.com/photos/pinhole/10352445/ which I did last month. But with less humor and with contributions from more people.
By the way – Flickr added a new feature that allows notes to have urls so if there is another photo you want to link to, that is now possible. Here is an example: www.flickr.com/photos/pinhole/13778793/
If you’d like to participate, go right ahead and make notes!
Thanks,
-Pinhole

Gave this one the full Blade Runner treatment.
Multi-exposure HDR, combined and tone-mapped in Photomatix. Then some work done in Photoshop on the sky (masked levels) and to brighten the carpark and tower block in the middle distance (using dodge/burn layer). Sharpened and then framed with a layer style.

MacAlpine's Soda Fountain

MacAlpine's Soda Fountain
As a dozen of us met for a fine meetup at MacAlpine's Coffee Shoppe for dinner, at this moment I saw the light stream in and jumped up to go for it with my camera. It lasted only about 5 minutes, but the golden glow was just beautiful, especially to highlight the best of this marvelous soda fountain. Thankfully this former Rexall drug store was able to have the interior retained as the stores either side of it enveloped all 3 businesses into a place that now features antiques and collectibles. Be sure to see the other photos that my fellow flickrites have gotten from this outing. Each of us have some real beauties to share. And if you are ever in Phoenix, this is a wonderful place to visit. Thank you to the gracious staff members of MacAlpine's for making our visit joyful.

Enrichment Day For Polar Bears!
Enrichment Day For Polar Bears!
Originally uploaded by shesnuckinfuts.
The day we went to the Oregon Zoo, it happened to be enrichement day for the polar bears! They brought in a bunch of snow, and a huge "snack popsicle" for them. As you can tell by the photo, they loved it!! Here is a clip of Polar Bear Fun!. The Polar Bear handler says they roll around in the snow because they use it as a squeegie to squeegie the water out of their fur in the wild. This clip shows one of the polar bears trying to get at the goodies in the Polar Bear Popsicle.

How to do the "cars" Photoshop
Default How to do the "cars" Photoshop
Per Request: Here is a step by step method for how I do the "CARS" chops:
Step 1: Get a photo of your car,something medium resolution is good, if the photo is two low then the cars parts will look odd, if its a crazy detailed RAW file, the final product will look more fake. so heres the photo Im using, Its from the old thread compliments of 04ts:
Step 2: Go to the cars wallpaper site http://www.filmtotaal.nl/module.php?...ew&wid=0317219 and find a car mouth and eyes that suit your picture, It dosent mater if the car is facing left or right, or the perspective angle, we can change all that later, for this chop im using Flo, Open this wallpaper at the highest resolution:
Step 3: with your CARS wallpaper and using the freehand laso (newbies) or pen tool select a large area around the mouth. Make sure you include all the mouth corner lines. this selection dosent have to be perfect.
Step 4: Drag the mouth to your car photograph and set the opacity to around 75%
Step 5: If your mouth is backwards (as in this case) go to the edit menu>transform>flip horizontal. Now comes the hard part: using the transform functions (rotate, scale, and a lot of perspective) drag the mouth around so it covers the area of your front bumper. I find it very easy to use the foglight holes as a refferance, putting the edes of the mouth just a little bit over the inside crease (blue) just make sure you pay attention to the bottom and sides of the mouth (red) and that the perspective of the mouth fits the perspective of the car
step 6: go back to your wallpaper and using the plygonal laso select a general area around the eyes/windshield. again this selection dosent have to be perfect just make sure you're outside the windshield:
Step 8: Drag the eyes over to your photo and set the opacity to 75%. Ok, as with the mouth you have to use the transform tools (rotate, scale, A lot of Perspective) to fit the windshield around your own windshield (pat attention to the perspectives! (blue lines) this will make the differance between something that looks realistic and something that looks stupid) Pay attention to the eyebrows, make sure the color goes all the way to the top corners (red) make sure your eyes
Step 9: hide the visibility of the eyes layer (the little eyeball in the Layers Pallet) and very carefully using the magnetic laso or Pen tool select around the edge of your windshield. you want to select under your windshield wipers. Then go up to the menu Select>Feather and set that to 2 or 3 pixles (a little more if your using a big file)
Step 10: Select the inverse (ctrl+shift+I) and without deselecting anything, click on your CARS eyes, make it visible again (the little eyeball) and press delete. this should trim around the edge and make the eyeballs fit your windshield, Now you can play with the opacity, to preserve the reflections in the windshield I think about 85% is good.

The cowboy looks at him wryly and says
A young, well-educated man on a business trip gets on the plane to find himself seated next to an older, weathered man in a western snap shirt, faded jeans and a cowboy hat. Thinking himself above the old cowboy, the young man decides to make sport of him.
"You know," he says, "I've heard these flights go much more quickly if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger. So, let's talk."
The cowboy looks at him wryly and says, "Well I s'pose that'd be all right. What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know, "says the young man with a hint of sarcasm, "How about nuclear proliferation?"
"Hmm," says the cowboy, sensing the young man's attempt to belittle him, "That could be an interesting topic. But, let me ask you a question first
- horses, cows, and deer all eat the same stuff--grass. Yet, a deer passes little pellets, a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse makes muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"
Dumbfounded, the young man replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"So tell me then," says the cowboy with a smile, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear proliferation when you don't know shit?"
