Beer? Sure. Three triple-fermented Belgian beers. Chimay, Delirium Tremens and Gueuze Foudroyante.

 

Lyrt....when i get married..guess whos taking the pictures



Thats right........YOU!!

 

Well, I appreciate the feeling but I must confess that this photograph is just the result of a very simple, borderline-retarded Photoshop trick:
– Open picture
– Desaturate it (don’t even bother with the channel mixer)
– Copy layer (ctrl + j)
– Invert the layer (ctrl + i)
– Set the blend mode of the copy on linear dodge, which should result in a completely white image
– Filter => Other => Minimum (radius = below 10)

Voilà! Excellent, sketch-like results which will make your pals want you to be their appointed photograph for their wedding!

 

Your gonna have to show me how you get those old time feel pictures youve been doing.

Need to buy photoshop though....not about to dish out 300 bucks though

 

Don’t you have professional friends who could, ehem, lend you a copy?

Just tell me which photo you want to see a tutorial of and I’ll work on it. I have zero secret when it comes to photography. When I first used Photoshop, I was too happy to find people willing to help. I find photographers who don’t want to share secrets boring. If you’re good, you’re good no matter what.

 

No...i have no friends like that...haha...dont i wish. I do have a friend in France though that i believe has a copy

 

Good stuff. If you like those, you may enjoy this:

Glowing orange-gold color, herbal aroma, and complex flavors that meld rich malt sweetness, warmth, hops, and powerful drinkability. [/FONT]

As an aperitif with cheese or assorted hors d' oeuvres. Try with rich main courses or enjoy after dinner with fresh fruits and cheese. Westmalle Tripel is excellent with fresh steamed asparagus! Serve in the traditional Westmalle goblet at 45-50 deg. F.[/FONT]

I so thought about you Joe when i picked it up

 

Advice duly noted. That delirium tremens is the most treacherous beer ever. It tastes like a 3% beer while it’s 8.5%. Otherwise an excellent beer, perfect for 9:51pm.

 

Its Friday night !

Hmmm..I have one of those sitting on a shelf in the garage. Now, what food should I pair with that? :drool

 

Picon bière. Sorry for the blank photo, I'm busy stuffing my no name pipe with some Red Raparee.

 

Oh sure, rub it in while I have to sit here and read these posts in between doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

 

Tried Fergie's Pan-Seared Tuna with Avocado, Soy, Ginger, and Lime tonight.
Hmmmmmmmmm good! Thanks for posting that one Rick!

 

Spent the evening with friends cheering for France. Ooh Les Bleus beating the All Blacks was a godsend.
