SSC 7 September 2019 (Tumbling Dice)

Très astucieux ; on dirait vraiment qu'ils volent ; de plus la prise est excellente

Thank you very much, Dan. And, I appreciate the invitation :-)

Schön!

Thank you, Katja.

c'est remarquable ! il y a de l 'idée ! je croyais que tu avais lancé les dés...

Cheers very much, Nautilus :-)

des dés sont jetés excellente création,,, bravo

Thanks so very much, Annaig.

Hope the cast was high enough! Nice creation and music.

It was :-)) Cheers, Diederik.

But the result is amazing,,, well it would have been a lot more difficult to throw the dices to the sky and photograph them!!!!!

Thank you very much, Isabel. Appreciated. Yes, if I had thrown the dices to the sky I would have probably dropped the camera :-)))

This looks fantastic, Roger, and what lengths you went (pun intended. ;-) I can just imagine your neighbors peering out the window at you. :D

Thank you for another fun video of Linda. I never get tired of watching her perform. :)

Also, I use my Mac "Photos" for editing and the "retouch" tool is hopeless for removing things. I sure hope yours was better. :)

Thanks very much, my amigo :-)

Hi again, Karen :-) I do still use an old version of Photoshop 6 and Photoshop Elements. In these programs I would use the cloning tool for removing things. But, a while ago I decided to purchase 'Affinity Photo'. This was available here for a one-off payment of £49.99. Not sure what that is in dollars :-) And, sometimes I have seen it reduced to £39.99! What surprises me is that there is not anything else to pay and I am still getting free updates :-) In 'Affinity Photo' there is an 'Inpainting Brush' that removes unwanted things and most of the time it works amazingly well. Very occasionally it doesn't quite get it right but I find I can sometimes tidy things up with the cloning tool. I now use 'Affinity Photo' pretty much 90% of the time :-)

It sounds like a pretty good program. I'm always surprised by the lack of a "cloning" or "retouching" tool in some editing programs. It seems like everyone might need it sometimes just to clean things up a bit. Maybe it's just me lol. :D

Me too :-)))

yes, the way you took this is interesting, but i'm fascinated by the objects you have to use for these photos!

do you know about the documentary about Linda - out soon (maybe already out): Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice

Hi Laura. These are sometimes called Fluffy Dice or Hanging Dice or Fuzzy Dice :-) They are mostly used to hang in a car :-) They are available in many different colours and are readily available on Amazon :-)

I didn't actually know about the documentary about Linda. Thank you very much indeed for this information :-) I have done some investigation and I see it was released in the USA last Friday (6 September). I really hope we will be able to see it here in the UK. Or maybe it will be available to buy on DVD. I do hope so :-)

Thanks very much again Laura :-)

They seem to be floating in air;-) Hats off to you for all the cloning work!

Thank you very much, Gudrun. Appreciated :-)

Juggling dice. Very clever

Thanks very much, Jan :-)

die Würfel sind vom Himmel gefallen

Thank you, Chrissy :-)

Wow, this is great work, Roger! Fabulous composition and idea! :-)

Thanks so very much, Val.

Clever, great work!

Thank you very much, Gillian.

The work was worth it! Great job!

Cheers very much, polytropos.

Admiration for this commitment and for the great result.

Thanks so much, Heide.

Perfect against the background.

Thank you very much, Esther.

You still have your fuzzy dice?

Yes I do. These are actually fairly new....the old ones were getting a bit faded :-)))

a high throw, well done

Cheers, Wierd :-)

great work!
