Rubber Ducky by rutty

"My rubber ducky! I used the GIMP] to process this - went a bit mad with the curves on a copy of the original then used the top layer in Overlay mode to calm it down a bit"

Fly -- redux 2 by Husk and Sack

"UFRaw -> GIMP. Manual curve and saturation corrections in UFRaw and then more curves in the GIMP. I tried to maximize the contrast in the fly using the overall curve and then played around with the individual colour curves to "warm" the image up a little. See my photostream for the non-warmed version. Finally, sharpening was done using the "refocus" plug-in in the GIMP"

Bike jumps x4 by Australia Alive

"Five images were run through autopano-sift to find 1300 key points each. Then, I ran it through Hugin to connect all the images and exported it to "multiple tiff". I was then able to run it through enblend which gave me a smooth image.

In GIMP, I duplicated the image, converted to grey scale then inverted it. I then merges it down at 30% transparency and enhanced the colors in LAB mode."

Planet Kate by immauss

"This is really just a normal stereographic panorama, taken with my Panasonic FZ-30 and Raynox .66 wide angle converter then processed with autopano-sift, hugin and enblend. The trick, is that instead of putting the camera on a tripod, I bolted two dive weights together between a nut and the base of the Nodal Ninja. This gave me a very low to the ground point of view effectively moving the horizon down on the panorama. I then took several pictures of Kate at varying distances from the camera. About 4-5 feet worked out best. I did have few stitch errors that didn't want to go away that I patched up in the end with GIMP."
