Made it late LATE last night when I couldn't sleep. I cut the headlines and quotes a Venetian Casino magazine to make this....just started pasting things together...doesn't really make much sense, but its something different.


Vegas, I am loving your original screensavers! Really nice work.

Thanks for the compliments.  Now I just have to get brave enough to hack my kindle and put them on there. lol

I also am going to have to start taking a lot more photos portrait style as I only have a relative handful that way but thousands in landscape and they don't convert so nicely.

What i've been doing lately for my landscape screen savers is posting them to my kindle in portrait mode. This is what the Kindle does when you zoom in on most pictures - it 'turns them sideways' - so i've been doing that with my screen savers and they look great. Not everyone would like this of course - but it's a thought.

This one is especially striking for me though... it looks almost like a setting in a book it's so perfect.  Where is this?

Bannack State Park in Montana. http://www.bannack.org/

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time.  The family and I went ice skating and a fog had just lifted to clear blue skies and left all the trees/bushes covered with ice, caught the picture with the sun going through the trees.

Here is the original color picture.

Here are a few "Kindleplates" I made to mark ownership. Just use an image editing program (ie Gimp, Paint) to add in your own name and info.







On another note, is there an actual photo gallery I can post these in, rather than a thread? I think it would be easier for people to navigate through a gallery rather than multiple threads with multiple pages. Perhaps something like a flickr pool?

These are from pictures my daughter took at the Bronx Zoo. The polar bear didn't format real well on the Kindle (too much white maybe?) but I like it so I added it anyways.
