Capture: Two Tone, in reply to Hebe,
Fun eh?
Yep, although I still need time to get my head around Lightzone. Actually, I’m now having fun using several different programmes for all the different tricks I can make each one do.
And this thread has really turned me on to b/w. I never realised how much it can convey – funereal solemnity, yes, and much, much more. Particularly good for this time of year. I must do my best to scare my students this afternoon.
This morning’s rising sun.
Need a hand?

Been playing, need more time.

Hard News: Movie Disaster, in reply to Sacha,
that is China's future
Maybe.
And Russell:
The idea of manufacturing as a substitute for screen production is mad, actually.
No argument from me. China is resource rich. And people rich. And peopleresource rich, although not especially rich in resources to people. In any case, a mad comparison. Whatever, an absolutely mad comparison, as you say. China can do any kind of manufacturing, NZ needs to focus on the niches it can do better than the rest. Screen production would seem to be one of those.

Hard News: Movie Disaster, in reply to Russell Brown,
But it’s ambitious, to put it mildly, to talk about the two in the same breath.
Oh, of course. I was just thinking "Hey, that's cool. Pity the screen production industry isn't facing the same difficulties".
But I think you and several others here and in similar threads have made a pretty strong case for government intervention in the form of subsidies and rebates and public service broadcasting. Pity the government can't see past its own cow shit.

And the Herald has gone (mostly) two tone with these combat photos by Horst Faas. Good work, although obviously a fairly disturbing topic.
ETA: Got Lightzone. Now to juggle marking essays, washing the car, getting stuff to fix the wee one's basketball hoop, trying to capture some autumn light, and learning how Lightzone works. Good thing I've got no classes today or tomorrow morning.

I think this was the thread in which the game industry was mentioned as an example. Here's an example of how well it's going for them.

First result with Lightzone.
I'm still waiting for my approval.
Great wrecks, Allan and Jackson.

Preparing…
...finished product...
...success is happy punters (though I have no idea why the wee one is waving her meat cleaver at me...).

Capture: Two Tone, in reply to Islander,
she enhances all the photos she is in
Of course! (yeah, I'm biased...) though in this one she was trying on her new kindy uniform/tracksuit (no, she doesn't have to wear it, but all the kids get one so they can wear it if they want) and she was quite happy posing in front of the mirror but wasn't really in a modelling mood. I prefer this in black and white, though, because the kindy unfortunately chose green and gold for its colours.
