Hi, new here..help needed..

Postby den_perry » Wed Dec 08, 2010 10:19 pm

Hi everyone.

New guy here from Southside. Been a regular viewer of this site for a few years. Some stunning photos that I have really admired from ordinary but clearly talented people.

Anyway, I have something that I would like some assistance with. I have shot the attached photograph of the "La Pasionaria" statue at The Clyde. Been a long time admirer of this monument (or rather what it stands for) for some time.

Ideally, I want a canvas print of this for my flat but ideally I would like it in a certain way. I actually prefer the shot in black and white but would like the inscription below to be in the original colour. I don't have photoshop (and wouldn't know where to start with it :oops: ).

Would any of you kind people out there be able to assist?

Rob.

Thanks again :D

Pleasure .. now make sure you contribute a bit, doesn't have to be photos - conversation and debate will do just nicely, and repay the wee debt.

Enjoy your time here by all means my friend, but you'll get more out if you put a bit in first.

Look forward to hearing from you. :D

ps. Full size version PM'd to you .. that'll be better to work with for your canvas.

Many thanks again mate. That's really kind of you.

Got a discount voucher for Kodak site that is only valid for 24hours. Getting a £50 voucher for £15. Tried to place order there but not taking card details. Think it is something to do with the wikileaks visa protest.

I will definitely log in and contribute here and there. Seems a good forum with a lot of nice people. Want to take a few photos for my flat as I won't be content with just "off the shelf stuff".

Got a wee interest in photography from school, which I was encouraged to pursue then but never did. Time to pursue that now I think. Not got the best equipment (oh er.. :oops: ::): ) but apparently it's all about what you do with it anyway ::): .
