[Baron Collins-Hill]

inverted fm62se with a bit of blur:

[ethanopia]

I'm just going to guess here but I think this should be moved over to the "photoshop this" forum...

[grandmainger]

I'm just going to guess here but I think this should be moved over to the "photoshop this" forum...

[Bill Snyder]

Here's my offering.

[mandopete]

I think we did this once before, but here's mine anyway....

[b.pat]

Do not attempt to adjust your set.

[Joe F]

The Celtic Knot soundhole on my Freshwater.

[FrankenMouse]

OK

[Christine W]

Here is mine....

[FrankenMouse]

This is fun.

[Christine W]

and after tweeking it in photoshop

[FrankenMouse]

Okay, I promise this is my last one....

[Joe F]

Freshwater again...

[b.pat]

Ok this is the last one I'll post but, this is fun.

[Keith Newell]

Heres one I made.

[mandolooter]

My daughter and I see a lady playin a fiddle...my wife sez we's crazy, what da ya'all think?

[Bill Snyder]

I see the lady and the fiddle. I don't think I would have seen it if I had not been looking for it specifically.

[Mandopickr]

I'll try too

[zeke]

Now that's got an odd but very cool symmetry to it.

[mandoJeremy]

Oh the scrolls, I must be alone now.

[mandoJeremy]

Hey Jeff, are those red Chiclets you have behind the bridge?

[Ted Eschliman]

For "World" Music...

[mandolooter]

No Chiclets , just a piece of leather woven thru the strings.

[mandopete]

Oh the scrolls, I must be alone now.
Yeah, now that you mention it......

[Darryl Wolfe]

B.PAT wins so far...that is really interesting

[Darryl Wolfe]

I kinda like this one

[mandolooter]

yea Darryl, thats way cool!

[Luthier Vandross]

Oh my God Darryl, you mixed chemicals!

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

M

[Bill Snyder]

Another one.

[Bill Snyder]

Last one - not quite so brite.

[mandoryan]

Curious,
Very cool. The top one with yellow looks like something Andy Warhol would have painted. Now it just needs Marilyn Monroe on it somewhere. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[craigtoo]

Wow...lady playin' a fiddle...cool...

[Baron Collins-Hill]

not seeing the lady playing the fiddle...

[mandolooter]

Well it seems some do and some don't but the
supposed lady and her fiddle are a reflection in the left upper quadrant of the mandolin with the F hole being the fiddle.

[Bill Snyder]

Maybe this will make the fiddle playing lady easier to see.

[fatt-dad]

I just learn so much trying this stuff. . . . (my Kalamazoo)

[pickinNgrinnin]

Karen-

You should add this to the Davis Thread http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Scott Tichenor]

Thought I'd move this to the Photoshop area. Cool stuff!

[Spencer]

I almost forgot this. Years ago Dan B made a little mandolin pictures available for wall paper. A friend of mine got hold of the F-5 version and this came out.

[zeke]

Here's something I posted in another thread, but is definately applicable here. Taken of me and made by Mando Maria, wife of cafe poster/luthier Rob Grant, when they were visiting the states and my back yard.

[BluegrassPhilfromFrance]

Here is a psychedelic one ! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[PhilGE]

Bad Dream...

[BluegrassPhilfromFrance]

What about this one ? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[OdnamNool]

Whoa! That one wins "most erotic."

[OdnamNool]

It's even gotta hook on the pick guard!

[siren_20]

Again, the joys of photo editing...
This is what the mandolin looks like when you've been hearing to much b@#j0.

[siren_20]

Another one...I won't even comment on how some might try to relate this to current discussions to certain makers...I just thought it was funny!

[danb]

Oh man, that wallpaper. I'd forgotten about that!

[siren_20]

The mando fractal above is something I came up with...has it been done before?

[danb]

"mandobrot set" ? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[JimD]

"mandobrot set" ?

It does offer a strange attraction...

[OdnamNool]

Octopi are cool.

So is your...ahem...intreguing...and detailed...

Uh...ummm... Hey Siren 20!

Wanna jam???

[OdnamNool]

Seriously...now...

Your artwork or "photo-shop" work... whatever it is... is extremely talented. Now... I could be wrong, here... but what I see is a magical troll.

Fish On!

[OdnamNool]

Oh... I guess I should say that that troll has its back turned on us...

[OdnamNool]

It's brain is exploding! #It obviously wants....needs....

Dr. Flyodd! #(are ya out there?)

[recklessmando]

Here's one with a nucular gold finish.

[OdnamNool]

Oh dear!

(Back to Siren 20...) Now I see the pointalistic-self-portrait within the brainiac!

Fantastic work! Very cool...

Hey! What's YOUR explanation? ...I'm interested to know...

(not to mention that mysterious-microphone-lookin'-do-hicky at the bottom of the artwork...) ur.... Hmmmmmm..............

[siren_20]

Not trying to hijack the thread, but...

The little doo-hickey at the bottom of the fractal? That's the scooped extension on my Siren. Actually that photo was taken of it "in the white". Steve Smith scooped the extension and then inlaid some wire to make it look more natural (kinda like on a Dudenbostal). Works great, looks great!

The mandos in the center kinda get too coarse pixel-wise to see clearly, but I like how they came out sort of swept out like that.

[sunburst]

For those with scroll fever.
Crazy, yes...Artistic? well......

[mandoJeremy]

Ohhhhh yes, yes, YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!1http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Darryl Wolfe]

Sunburst.....without the lower scroll, that could put a new twist on the need for left or right handed f-models

[sunburst]

Sorry...wasn't thinking...

[zeke]

John, there's something strangely appealing about these "scrollatories" that you present here.

BTW, it was great meeting you at IBMA, just wish we had the chance to chat a bit longer, like over dinner. Maybe next year....

[Patrick Gunning]

If you took the bottom two scrolls off, and didn't really care that you had the playing range of an old Gibson A, that would be really cool.

[Ted Eschliman]

Father, Daughter, Favorite Toys... (http://www.tannah.net/ted/images/ted_coco.gif)

[Jim Garber]

Sunburst have you seen this thread (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=19613;hl=shutt)? Truth is stranger than fiction...

[Scotti Adams]

[Darryl Wolfe]

[Darryl Wolfe]

Don't leave your mando in the sun too long.. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Darryl Wolfe]

A little more insanity, but I'm starting to learn Photoshop 7 a bit more now

You've got way too much time on your hands..... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Darryl Wolfe]

Darryl...

Yesterday, yes....usually, not a chance...ask Dan http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[danb]

Confirmed

[mandopete]

Man, that one is making me sea-sick!

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Ted Eschliman]

That's one small step for a mandolin, one giant leap from a G-chop...

[GaryM]

While were in space..
I lost this and all my others in a "Crash" so thanks to Mandolooter for recovering it.

[Arto]

Hi sunburst,

I just love those myopic octopussies of yours (Oct 17&18)!
http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

And GaryM,
that´s impressive! Maybe I´ll take that for a background! Mandolin and the future of mankind...

Arto

[Tyler]

Hey GaryM, that pic reminds me of those Boston album covers...(another idea for someone who wants to put the time in.)

[racuda]

Presto Chango

[Swinguit 57]

KayBee --- your second photo is now on my desktop. #It could easily be an album cover. #Great job!

[ira]

i love this thread. as a surrealist art fan,a mando player and one who loves sarcasm, it is beautiful.
thanks!http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[G_Smolt]

Not MY mando, but...

[OdnamNool]

I see the lady, I see the fiddle, but here's the thing: She's a mermaid...look at the fins under the bridge.

[Darryl Wolfe]

Here's my latest abomination

[mandopete]

Another cool computer screen backgound - thanks Darryl!

[BlueMt.]

Never play your mandolin while using Rogaine. #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif (sorry Bill)

[GaryM]

That's really great work Darryl.

[JEStanek]

Here's my attempt. #Granted its not my mando, yet. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on an Eastman!

Jamie

[EastmanGordon]

Jamie,
Thanks for posting this picture of the Eastman research and development department. An interesting shot taken when God visited us a few months back to give his final approval on the new oval f-styles. I think this picture (which also features one of our crack team of design engineers) shows our dedication to both quality and the pursuit of radical naturism. I would like to add however that this gentleman's endowments do not in any way reflect the general level of endowment present in other "members" of the staff here at Eastman.
Thanks,
Gordon
ps. In the picture God is requesting that the fingerboard be scooped and radiused for ease of playing.

Alan, I love the "burst" on that one! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[JEStanek]

I've heard of cylinder backs but, that's ridiculous! #Nice work. #Maybe Mr. Bussman can replace the tuner buttons with Pepto Pills?

Jamie

[PhilGE]

Thanks, Jamie.

Though not mando-related, here's an image I put together for a friend's jamming party I helped to co-host. The party was called "Fiddles and Vittles." I used found images for this composition. The party was simply for fun and no profit was generated whatsoever.

BRAVO!
Great shot, going to take a turn on the desktop.
