Goon, you're so talented! I really like the film strip one and the clock is superb. I love the final version of the clock. Just so breathtaking!

Thanks Helen. New image posted called Dreamy Nights. I used Oma`s old leaf tutorial as a base for the palms but never added too much detail as there was no need. Hope you like it.

Thanks BP . Glad you liked it.
New image posted - Transit of Mercury. This was created using Dryda`s excellent new Solar Atmosphere tutorial. I added the transit as a bit of extra interest so it was not just another straight copy of the tutorial. I added a layer below the sun at the final stage, created a radial gradient and used the Fire plugin to add a bit more to the sun`s atmosphere.

The night scene is just so beautiful, Goon. I imagine myself sitting there and breathing the fresh air.
Great work on the Mercury image, too! Wow!

Mercury is great - it looks so hot!

Mercury is great - it looks so hot! Technically speaking, you are correct; since it is the planet closest to the sun .

Absolutely right Leif. Definitely the place for a quick suntan - although I doubt you would survive to enjoy it! Thanks Helen, BP. New image. Started as a doodle to see what I could do with my clouds tut and ended up a proper image. All PDN apart from the moon and nebula.

Great composition of the picture. I like the faint, but clearly visible nubleas. Gives the picture a look of "infinity".

Very nice result @gooney and I've noted the tute to give it a try soon. I too have never tried photo manips. Just tried to comment on the main forum as well, but it's been hijacked - never seen so much garbage spam on there - it will be a nightmare to remove it all. I wanted to download BoltBait's Ballot for the 2014 votes ........ but it's totally buried ATM Have a great New Year Tried to add an image - but can't remember how to on here

Wow. You really had me scared there. That is a tremendous picture. Great effects making everything blend into darkness, and only one path to follow leading to the house. Wonder what awaits there? And is that the reaper i see in the distance?

Wow Goonie! That is delightfully scary! If it were a movie, I would definitely watch it. (As long as there are no dolls. Dolls creep me out. ) Just checked the main forum - what the hell? There's a lot of crap on there. It says there are 1043 guests online. That much activity would be nice if it wasn't all, well, crap. Not sure I remember how to post an image either. There is an insert image icon in the reply box. If you want thumbnails, and you're using Photobucket you can use their codes. For Imgur, Trevor wrote a how-to on using thumbnails, but heck if I can find it. I'll go huntin' and post the link when I know where it is. Edit: Oh for the love of God! It's right there in front of me and I couldn't see it. pdnfans.proboards.com/thread/291/creating-thumbnail-imgur-image-hosting

Thanks Pixey. Look forward to seeing your version. If you check out my thread on the main forum there is a hint on how I got the house behind the trees. If you still need a copy of the Awards Ballot I can send you a PM if you want. By the way I just added my image the same as usual - copy and paste the link from Photobucket. Well Leif I suppose you could call it the reaper. Never thought of that. A skeleton in a hoody - scary! It annoys me when the forum gets spammed like that. Like you say it probably bots as well. Poor old mods have a big clean up job. BP I can assure you there no dolls - or are there? Who knows what you`ll find in the House of Your Screams! I`ve just popped onto the main forum and it all seems to be back to normal now thank heavens. I must say it`s nice to be chatting on Fans for a change. It`s been so quiet. Maybe it has something to do with the spam.

@gooney - yes, I saw the link on the main forum for the tute you used and also 'noted' (and already downloaded) the plugin you suggested. Your Gallery thread was the only one the spammer hi-jacked, thankfully, before the mods got to it. I watched in horror as each subject and thread got taken over. I've never seen it that bad before. They need to change - make it harder - the way people sign-in initially. @bp - thanks for the link to posting images on here. I actually had it written down somewhere, but I couldn't find the book There was a funny Post Office Ad in the USA last year, which was offering free pick up and collection of unwanted parcels............. and in the background, hiding under the stairs, was this: It gave me the creeps each time I saw it.

Heh. I think the spammers at it again unless PDN v4 can now make pizza as the latest tread suggest. ( new plugin? ) I can see we have spammbots on BongoFanForum as well. But they are not getting anywhere for some reason. Think there are some limitations on what new members can and can not do.

Never knew mine was the only gallery affected. Didn`t know my work was THAT bad! I think you are right, they do need to increase security on the forum.It`s getting out of hand and happening far too frequently. Think I`ll go and order my pizza now.
