DLRP Photo/artwork thread

[thelittlemermaid83]

I thought that it better to have a seperate thread where everyone can show off there photo skills and art work etc.

I don't have anything to show as of yet :rotfl:

[poppyolivia]

Good idea let the fun start!!!

[thelittlemermaid83]

Im not sure weather to post my bodged mosiac i made, its utter rubbish lol

nah seriously I think you should! We should make it too so that if we need help doing things then others can offer advice...

I would love to know how the person (sorry can't remember the name) wrote 'jack sparrow 2008' on their pic yesterday in a curve, I can only do straight lines:)

[thelittlemermaid83]

Here goes lol.

Hey there is nothing wrong with that! I was waiting to have a laugh!:rotfl: I think its great! Seriously why did you think otherwise????

agreed, that's really good. I reckon that all you would need to do is use more pictures and let it use duplicates and it would look great, because it works well when small now, but seems blockier when up close, which smaller images would fix.

You should post so we can see, its only fair i posted my bad attempt :rotfl:

I deleted them, the 2nd one finished and there was black missing parts every where...whats going on, that didn't happen before?:confused3

Is that maybe because it can't find a suitably coloured picture? I tried it with a program on my mac last night and I had loads of gaps.

I'm trying the AndreaMosaic now though, so hopefully that might be better.

Yeah but I've done it before and it worked fine???? Will keep trying though, but I seriously have a sore head :sick: Maybe it doesn't like my cousins photos!;)

[ukstitch]

Oops, that didn't work out so well! :rotfl:

I've got an album setup on my mobileme gallery that I'm uploading them to. I'll add the link to my signature, but it's here http://gallery.me.com/robosborne#100110

[thelittlemermaid83]

Rob yours is better than mine, great job :)

[ukstitch]

New picture added (me and DB on Autopia).

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out, although it still suffers a bit if you zoom in.

I think it would have worked out better if I had more red pictures for the car, but oh well, it worked out ok anyway.

[thelittlemermaid83]

Im still waiting for the one i started at 7pm to finish lol.

The 2nd one you've done is really good Rob.

'twas me (I think) - I used Adobe Photoshop Elements, after you've clicked the text tool and have placed your writing, go to the top bar and there should be a T .... with an arc underneath it (it's next to the colour block) - click on that and a box should pop up untitled 'Warp Text', in the drop down menu (which by default says none) you will be able to choose how to display your text, have a play around with it - it's fun!

[poppyolivia]

hey your one is good Rob!!! I am getting well fed up now...come on, this was my idea back in 18 oatcake and I cannae do it!!!:rotfl:

Apparantly, the instructions say that you need to reduce the minimum distance between duplicated tiles setting because it can't find a suitable image (hence the black gaps). As 0 means no duplicates, then I would try using a setting of 1 and see what you get.

If you've already got it set to 1, then yes, it's probably your cousin's photos not having enough to choose from :goodvibes

I've got 1 for the mac which allows me to use a google images search as my image source. Maybe I'll try that out again at some point.

[Dianetigger]

If you have Microsoft Word, that has WordArt with it, does the same thing.

Hi there!

Rob (it is Rob eh?) I did have it set at 1, so what I'm trying now is to bulk it out with some of my 'non family' dlp pics....I told my cousin I was doing it.. and she told me there was no rush and to chill!:rotfl:
I think its really annoying me because I did it months ago no problems really!:confused3

Dianetigger, I jave no idea what I have on this pc!! But will have a look!! cheers!!

No, my name's not Rob, Emma's just confused (yes, it's Rob :goodvibes )

Sounds a good plan to me. I struggled a bit with the Autopia as I don't have many red pictures to play with. I'm trying to make one of the Disneyland hotel at the moment, but I'm not sure how many pink pictures I have either, so it might not come out well.

I can see how it's annoying; those last ones you did were amazing (especially the Scar one). I guess you got lucky with the colours of the photos an d/ or the settings you had.

[thelittlemermaid83]

im using any old pics and hoping for the best lol.

I've only got my Disney pictures in my library, but then I don't have a great deal else on this computer. I do have a load of snowboarding ones which would give me plenty of white to play with if I needed it though :)

Iwonder what you'd get if you tried to make a photo mosaic of a photo mosaic? :thumbsup2

[thelittlemermaid83]

OMG the one i just did came out fab!!! It was worth the 2 hours wait and adding some non dlp pics aswell.

Right Fionas one has worked, she has a mickey one like me now, but hers has a few bits of blue in it, I'm gonna try another for her to see if it looks better!:thumbsup2

[ukstitch]

Last one for this evening probably. I've created a mosaic of the Pink Palace and DLP entrance this time. I've uploaded it to my gallery as usual.

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out, much better than I was expecting :goodvibes

Whats the best size to get them printed out at? Im going to have a huge collection on my wall when ive finised decorating my front room.

Holy smoke!! Mine aren't taking that long, I am using 199 photos, how many you using?

Well I got my 4 done in a 8X10 inch just to see what like and they coulda been as big as poster size but then we were talking mega price!lol..basically the bigger the better but mine were ok at 8X10 then the clear clip frames on them.

[thelittlemermaid83]

Holy smoke!! Mine aren't taking that long, I am using 199 photos, how many you using?

Im using 516 photos :rotfl:

[ukstitch]

Wow, that's fantastic.

My library has just over 1000 photos in it, but then again a lot of those are quite similar because they're from many years of DLRP trips. :thumbsup2

[ukstitch]

It now says 30hours, its gonna be a looooong night ha ha

There's a phrase for that sort of thing that I have - They're called "Microsoft Minutes" due to how much the guess changes and innacurate it ends up being.

I don't think the time has anything to do with the number of pictures in your library, because mine only take about 1/2 hour or so, even with 1050 pictures in the library (although the guess always says 2 minutes remaining - never changes).

[thelittlemermaid83]

im not sure if the one im doing now is going to come out that great. I think my chip and dale one was a one off.

[poppyolivia]

you 2 still up?:rotfl: I'm off to my bed catch ya the morra I might be in better craic then!!:rotfl:

Me, I'm up till about 12:30 or so most evenings, as is DB :rotfl2: Some nights, I go to be before DB does - he has been known to still be up at 1 or even 2am :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

On another note, I've just put together a fantillusions picture. It's better than I was expecting, but I prefer my Pink Palace one.

[thelittlemermaid83]

Night Katrina look forward to seeing your creations tomorrow.

and Rob WOWOW, loving the new pic. Your a pro at this :)

Am I? I guess I've got a reasonable library of pictures to use then, or I've figured out the right settings or something. At the moment though, they don't look too good if you zoom in, so won't print too well. Maybe I'll try some higher settings to see what I can do with the next one. I'm lucky that our computer is fairly new, so produces them quite quickly.

Yours are looking really good as well though :)

Hurray, I think I've figured out how to use the version on my mac, which means I can start using my laptop instead of the desktop.

I'm just watching one build now on the mac - I'm really quite pleased with the mac, as it looks better than the pc program at the moment.

[A Small World]

I think Im going to have to have a go at these sometime they look great

[tigger300686]

I love the that pic- its glowing hehe but sadly i cant claim i took it as Mr Tigger did lool. That programme works really well as long as you have loads of photos loaded into it- didnt seem to take to long either this time.

I wish the AndreaMosaic program could pull pictures from Google and Flickr like the mac program can. AndreaMosaic seems to produce better mosaics from the same library, but Flickr means that I have a library of about 16000 pictures! :faint:

[tigger300686]

There looking good tho, i want to do one of my cat hehe well cute, I might post it loool he's disneyish lool

I thought you said you didn't think it was going to come out well?! That's really good. You can clearly tell it's a photo mosaic, but at the same time you can also clearly see what it's a picture of.

I've got one more uploaded which is of the Mickey Mouse flowers in front of the exit. Not quite as good as the Pink Palace one I did, but I'm fairly happy with it anyway.

[poppyolivia]

These are so brilliant, I think I need to add more pics!!!:thumbsup2

Heres the one I did for Fiona (my fab cousin) using the photos she gave me from her DLP 08 holiday

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s306/poppyolivia/2008_01182008disneyland0075Mosai-1.jpg

This is my one...do you think its ok for Fiona to have the less pics, should I redo on different dimensions?

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s306/poppyolivia/2008_01182008disneyland0075Mosaic.jpg

[ukstitch]

That's really good, so should be fine.

I think I might set my mac program off to produce one using Flickr's 16,000 pictures with only unique pictures this morning, then see what the result is when I get back in tonight.

[poppyolivia]

yeah, post it so we can see too eh?:thumbsup2

[scampbunny]

wow!!
i think all the pics are fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
emma - love ur minnie mouse in the parade, and fay ? i think it was ur castle picture????

thought id have a quick go, so am just loading up sum pics, and then will have a play, but really can see mine coming out as good as urs (not for the 1st 20 tries of so :rotfl: )

they are certainly good pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

well done all!!:thumbsup2

[ukstitch]

yeah, post it so we can see too eh?:thumbsup2

Will do, so long as I can figure out how to save the image. Not sure how good it will look, but hopefully it will at least be recognisable :rotfl2: .

[thelittlemermaid83]

Love your ones Katrina, very good :) This is so much fun. Going to do some more when i come back from post office later.

That's pretty cool software then, plus your drawing is really good too. That's way better than I could ever draw.

I can cope with computer art - that's just changing some settings and clicking buttons, so I understand that from a maths point of view rather than an art one :lmao:

I certainly couldn't draw anything and neither could I put together my own photo mosaic.

I did read about one last night that Disney did for 50 years of Disneyland. It was a photomosaic of Steamboat Willy which was made up of pictures of CM. However, each of those pictures of CMs was actually a photomosaic made up of pictures taken by guests.

Hey guys I'm back again!

Wow loads of great stuff to look at!! They are absolutely brilliant!!...I see a colour selected photo popped up there..wow I went through a phase of colour selecting every photo I had, in fact my downstairs bathroom is covered it the kids doing walks, beaches etc and I framed them up in black frames (not the 80s style ones;) ) and it looks really cool IMO!!:thumbsup2 In fact the frames were again from poundstrechers they do different size black frames with a cream mount from £1.50 to £3 .... its gorgeous with a group of photos on one wall in black n white with a wee bit of colour selecting if need be!

I also loved the pooh bear collection drawing, now thats talent!:thumbsup2

Just to keep you up to date with my mosiacs I have scrapped the mickey one I did for fiona which I uploaded a couple of pages back or so, I re did it and it looks better now, I have also done her a 'cars' one for the boys bedroom, she really loves that one and she's asked me to try a princess one for her lass!..

so alls good here in sunny Scotland!!:thumbsup2

What, sun in Scotland?! Step-dad is working up in Prestwick Monday - Friday and we usually get told it's rained :)

The cars mosaic sounds cool. I think I might have a go at printing one and see how it comes out at some point. Just an A4 size one mind you.

I feel as if I have been drinking!!:rotfl:

Virtual Memory low

In a nutshell, your computer creates little notes that it needs to remember and stores them inside it's memory. When the computer does lots of thinking, it's memory becomes rather full and it has to move some of its notes into a second place, called virtual memory.

When the computer does LOTS of thinking (like when you build a mosaic), even the virtual memory starts to get full, which shows you that message.

There's a setting you can change if needed, or you could restart the computer which can also help because it empties both the real memory and the virtual memory.

Artwork

I had a look at the one I produced using only unique images from Flickr and it didn't look very good at all, so I deleted it. I've just started another one (also from Flickr) which does allow duplicate pictures, which seems to look much better (I can watch the mosaic being built on the mac which is quite cool, although I have no idea how long it may take which is not cool).

:offtopic: As the weather's clear where I am tonight, I might take my telescope and camera out and have a play in a minute, so I'll post the picture here if anybody's interested?

OOoo would love too see some of your photos- I have a thing for taking pics of flowers, oh and my cat- he's really good looking:rotfl:

I'm into astrophotography, which is slightly different and more frustrating because I can't do a thing without a clear night :goodvibes

Unfortunately, Jupiter's just disappeared behind a street light so that's a no go, but the moons still around and full, so i might be able to grab a picture or two of that.

It would appear that the software I use on the mac doesn't produce very high quality mosaics, so I guess the AndreaMosaic or whatever it's called is much better and works better with less pictures (the mac version couldn't redraw the castle using about 4000 pictures!)

Not a problem, as I've mentioned on here before, I work with computers almost 24x7, so I know a reasonable amount about them and what those daft error messages mean.

I'll add my new (small) astrophotography gallery to my sig in a minute. It won't be growing very quickly because it's basically the same stuff around every night for weeks / months at a time, so the targets don't change very often. I can try to improve what I have though, which shouldn't be too hard with some objects! I'm also at the mercy of the weather and especially the clouds, so I can't get outside very often.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to take good quality pictures of anything but the moon, although they are recognisable if you know what you're looking at. The blurry picture I've taken is Jupiter after it came out from behind the street light. The other is fairly obvious - it's the moon :goodvibes Hopefully I'll have another go on Saturday at the moon to see if I can get a true full moon picture.

Rob

Just seen the 2 pics you put on, the moon one is awesome!:eek: What camera have you got? (sorry if you've already said)..wow! The other one is good too but I prefer your moon one!:thumbsup2
I've only started out in photography really, I have a Fuji S8000 so nowt fancy. Did have the fuji S5700 but hubby has that one now!:)

[ukstitch]

I've managed to put together another mosaic tonight, which I'm really pleased with - It's a Tower of Terror one this time and can be found in the usual place - the gallery in my sig :goodvibes

Impressive Rob, i have a one building at the moment so after yesterdays awful attempts i hope this one turns out better.
