Hair takes a fair bit of work and rework to get it right. Actually you're right on the money with Anna, she is a Melbourne girl, I nicked the photo from a friend who met her at a wedding I think it was. In days of old, we used to swap images, before Painter. In those days it was strictly photography, I used to rove the streets of Melbourne taking what i thought at the time, "interesting subjects" both in B&W and colour. I had a huge collection of night time shots of the "night people" fossicking in rubbish bins, sleeping in doorways and the like. Unfortunately I lost ALL of them and many others when a storm hit Ipswich, they were stored under the house that got flooded, lost all except a few my wife took of me finishing the Melbourne "Big M" marathon, but they were damaged and not worth keeping. MY Nikon mysteriously disappeared during our move to Brisbane, the carton also had a lot of images in it. I replaced it with a Canon D7. Last year my wife suggested I sell it as it was just collecting dust now, I agreed, reluctantly, and that turned into a disaster as the guy that bought it, turned out to be a scammer and I never got a cent for it, $5000 down the drain with the lenses. Anyway enough waffle. I'll see wat else I can dig up in the next few days, I am enjoying swapping images with you and our chats. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer38 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 This is all I have found today, but not much time, and I got a bit lost reminiscing with some of the old pics I haven't seen in years. This image of Mia was from a associate shutter bug if I remember correctly Anthony Thorton. I really liked it, and asked if I could mess with it. Say hello to Mia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. It's been a bit of fun Rodger, and actually gave me a look into my past, lots of images I had forgotten I hadin my search for my old Painter work. I have one that I will post in a new thread of my daughter and her husband on one of her missions to Africa I think it was - it has to me, great subject matter - tells a story. Stay tuned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did one thing for me if nothing else, If I have time, which is short for me, I'm going to try and sort out all my old images into some sort of order, AND I might just dabble a little in Painter 🙂 my hand cramps are a problem, so "little" is the operative word. Just for my own satisfaction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a lot of comments, I noticed you/we have had 577 views, so nice to see we did have interested viewers, but who didn't see the need to comment, so there was some interest there. Hey, I'm no different, I don't comment on all the pictures posted on the forum. Time is my enemy now, my day starts at about six thirty and I'm pretty much done by about one p.m. the afternoon I have to rest, thanks to how Covid has left me. So I have to try and squeeze in as much as I can in that time frame, I just mention this so you know why I go missing for periods. I'm actually quite new to digital art, I spent most of my initial entry in sketching, then became interested in digital art, bought Painter and a Wacom tablet and the long journey started - BIG learning curve - hooked! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
