The following is my attempts at digital photography. I did this a while back, but I thought it was kind of neat and decided to post it.
This is the "original" (it is cropped):

I wanted to get rid of the sunglasses, so I took an old picture of me (in which I was wearing regular glasses), copied the glasses, and pasted them over the sunglasses. This is NOT what I look like (as you can see by looking up in the corner there)... but... I think I did a pretty good job anyway. :o) This one is also cropped, but not as much as the other one, as you can tell. I think it would be really neat if I could do this really well so that you couldn't tell that I messed with it, but that would take some practice. :o) Although, I must admit, the shading around the eyes is very wrong...

Another thing I have been doing a little bit of lately is playing with GIF animation. Here are two of the "animations" I've made from actual photographs:


The colors are "off" because with GIFs you can only use 256 colors. The original pictures had more color than that, so the computer had to change it around a bit. And I do think that they are a bit annoying! Especially the flashing phone!
Have any of you done anything like this before? If so, I think it would be neat if you posted it on your blog -- I would enjoy seeing yours, too. Do any of you experts have any tips?
