Portrait of my mother
I surreptitiously shot a couple of snaps of my mother while home. She HATES having her photo taken!

very cool.
Re: Portrait of my mother
Very well done. It is a heartfelt creation that draws you into the the moment where it evokes a flood of memories and emotions.
Re: Portrait of my mother
Very nice...
She looks like a strong woman who doesn't put up with a lot of nonsense...
Which begs the question; how she was able to put up with you?

Interesting. In the original post, I only saw the back of her. When I hit reply, The whole thing showed.
I do a lot of shooting from the hip, for pix. The shot you get when people see the camera pointing at them is never a natural shot.
People seeing their candid shot will complain their hair is not ready, but it was as ready as I saw.

You still can't argue with a dream.

Just hold down CTRL and spin your mouse wheel to see the whole thing - the picture zooms in (bad) and out (good)

On my laptop I right click and choose 'view image'.
Re: Portrait of my mother
it s great with the whole thing too, I knew that she was watching her programs....
it really looked good when she was at the far right of the shot, and you couldn t see what she was looking at. kinda surreptitious. left you wondering what she was looking at, or thinking.
endurance.

I use the Firefox browser but I thought they all had that feature.
Or maybe you're using Windows 3.1 and Netscape?

How about an 'open image in new tab' option? That works, too.MajGenl.Meade wrote:There's no "view image" option when I right clickJoe Guy wrote:On my laptop I right click and choose 'view image'.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Nope - I can save a picture, email picture or print picture. There's a Show Picture but that's faded out to indicate it's unclickable.

Re: Portrait of my mother
It must have something to do with your mouse having a scroll wheel. It gives you a different way of doing things because it doesn't give you the right way to do things...

That could be - my mouse says "scroll, you!"

Re: Portrait of my mother
My mouse says that too sometimes, but the right-clicker still says--among other less useful things--"Open image in new tab". (I'm using Chrome.)
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Well, actually, I wouldn't know; I've never had a conversation with your mouse.

It's a pocket mouse - voice usually muffled
