These were my favorite work boots - until my wife got a hold of them!

Good Afternoon Bill,
The trick is to never take your boots off, then they cant fill them with dirt !

although technically not a "self" portrait,
it's still a pic of my favorite place to
see my feet at!

And we had to ride on this darn thing to get there!!!!!!!

And yes, this is who I am...

Rob,

Interesting picture. I first figured it was a bunch of guys wearing a variety of shoes to show things that you are into. But since you said that it's a self portrait, then I'm wondering if that's you in every picture? Did you cut and past them all together after you took them?

Which one is the working on the land and running the tractor look?

Nope, all my feet Eddie and yes, pasted together. Don't tell the safety police, but the tractor look varies from the work boots to the sandals and a few in between.

And you beach guys are killing me, I saw a snow pile the other day still!

No boots... but a little more defined... maybe.

Me and my best bud.

That little one needs a shave there Lloyd.

You people with photoshop amaze me. I've used it often and never did master it. The image is so clean and flowing. Nice work.

Lloyd_E · Mar 28, 2009

Not bad for a 60 second job... quick and dirty!

Actually it is hard to keep my electric shaver away from him... among other tools too!

Hey Lloyd, that's an interesting concept. Have you ever played with transform software? I did a trial version of one that created a short video transform between two images like yours. Was kind of cool as I recall. Nice job on aligning the eyes.

And Kfbeal, the first thing you learn in Photoshop is to take decent photos! As they say, you can make a good photo great but you can't do much with a bad photo. I've learned this the hard way far too many times.

Hey Rob,

You and Lloyd do a great job with pictures!!

If you want Lloyd to....He can make your tractor orange...he did Egon's

Robs,

Will look into that software. In PS you can select a playback option. It records your moves
and you can play back steps to learn or retrace your work flow. AND you're right about quality of photos: we have a saying in our profession - garbage in garbage out!
