I shot two tea lights from almost vertical, without a flash so the background would remain black. I manipulated the definition and the saturation for more detail. Just playing with the light.
I created a Greasemonkey script that allows selecting background color on a photo page.
The script creates a white-to-black gradient box. Hovering mouse over it changes the background color to the one the mouse is currently over.
Additionally all the elements except of the photo on the page are hidden. They get displayed again when mouse leaves the box.
The script can be downloaded here.
A discussion about the script, update announcements, etc. can be followed here.
I'm going to put the update announcements as comments for this photo too.
The original photo I used for this example can be found here.

Just messing around starting to work out how to make table top images. This first attempt is a real simple light setup with one light on the background (needs more up top) and one 24 " softbox about 8 inches above the glass, with the glass at the back edge to front light the tomato, Base is a granite tile. No photoshoppery on this one, just adjustments to the tones in Lightroom
I got to see a lot of Ferruginous Hawks this past weekend in southern Utah. In some areas they seemed to outnumber the red-tailed hawks but both were plentiful. These are beautiful hawks and this one was perched across from someone's house and was very accommodating. Conditions were dark and cloudy which doesn't make the best background for these birds. Hopefully when I return to the area in a couple of months I can find some under more favorable conditions. I wish I had taken some shots on a tripod for this guy instead of just from my car but when we stopped we got distracted by a much more exciting bird which serendipitously happened to be in the small trees right next to where we parked to look at this hawk. More on that later.
Me and Andy got bored, so we decided to post this as Andrew's background while he is in SLC for the night.

Some background:
The Messerschmitt Bf 94 was a fighter aircraft built in Germany shortly before World War II. It was designed to meet a 1935 requirement by the Czechoslovakian Air Force for a replacement for their B-534 fighter biplanes. It was developed by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (at which the engineer Messerschmitt led the development of the plane), primarily intended for export customers since the German Luftwaffe already planned more advanced types. It was actually built on a level inferior to the tactical requirements for a single-seat fighter that the RLM had issued in the document L.A. 1432/33 in late March 1933.
The Bf 94 was a sleek, low-wing monoplane with a fixed, spatted landing gear. As with the earlier Bf 108, the aircraft was based on Messerschmitt's "lightweight construction" principle, which aimed to minimise the number of separate parts in the aircraft. Examples of this could be found in the use of two large, complex brackets which were fitted to the firewall. These brackets incorporated the lower engine mounts and landing gear pivot point into one unit. A large forging attached to the firewall housed the main spar pick-up points, and carried most of the wing loads. Contemporary design practice was usually to have these main load-bearing structures mounted on different parts of the airframe, with the loads being distributed through the structure via a series of strong-points. By concentrating the loads in the firewall, the structure of the Bf 94 could be made relatively light and uncomplicated, and this principle was later also found in the famous Bf 109 fighter.
The Bf 94's fuselage was constructed from welded steel tube, covered in metal. Only the rudders were covered with fabric. The cockpit was not completely closed - the windscreen was fixed and two side panels could be lowered for access or taxiing, but a roof was missing. Power was to be provided by the new Junkers Jumo 210 engine of about 522 kW (700 hp), driving a wooden 2 blade propeller with fixed pitch.
Despite the rather outdated overall layout, the first prototype, the Bf 94 A-0, displayed excellent flying characteristics and high speed. Testing continued with a total of three prototypes until 22 November 1937. Until then, several orders had been placed, e. g. from Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Estonia and Lithuania. The Czechoslovakian Air Force had lost interest, though, preferring the indigenous Avia B.35 instead.
Total production numbers remained low, since more modern aircraft with retractable landing gear and and more powerful engines and armament were steadily introduced - only about eighty aircraft were produced and entered service with smaller European air forces during the advent of WWII.
The Lithuanian Air Force operated a single squadron with Bf 94 A-1 (a total of 16 aircraft), which were to replace the Gloster Gladiators. The German machines received locally a modified armament consisting of a pair of 0.303” Browning machine guns, so that the standard ammunition could be used. In 1940, the Lithuanian Air Force consisted of eight Air Squadrons, including reconnaissance, fighter, bomber and training units. Air Force bases had been established in the cities and towns of Kaunas /Žagariškės, Šiauliai /Zokniai (Zokniai airfield), Panevėžys /Pajuostis. In the summer time, airports in the cities of Palanga and Rukla were also used. A total of 117 aircraft and 230 pilots and observers were listed in the books at that time.

The kit and its assembly:
This whif kit was inspired by a similar build at whatifmodelers.com: an early Bf 109 with spats! This looked so nice and convincing that I had to “try this at home”. As donation parts for the landing gear I also had a pair of Avia B.35 spats from a vintage KP at hand – easy and straightforward.
Basis is the Bf 109 B/C Heller kit, which is rare but available at affordable prices if you are patient. It was mostly built OOB, the only major mod were the closed landing gear wells, using the original covers and some putty, the addition of the B.35 spat, and for an even more retrograded look I also exchanged the canopy. The original, closed cockpit was replaced by an open alternative, taken from a Macchi C.200. This screen is consideraly shorter and not as deep as the Bf 109 parts, so the cockpit walls had to be raised, too, and the spine elongated forward. But it works and adds to the retro look. A HUMA pilot was added in the cockpit, too.
Et voilà, a simple German export aircraft!
As a side note: the “94” is one of the RLM type numbers that had not been used in Germany. It had been allocated to Heinkel though, but I wanted to use the highest possible number before the “109” for this whif, so the manufacturer switch is IMHO acceptable.
Painting and markings:
Finding a potential user was a bit more tricky. I finally settled for Lithuania – exotic, but with a colorful air force before WWII. The whiffy Bf 94 could have been the country's first monoplane fighter!
For the paint scheme I kept things simple, partly inspired by contemporary Bf 109 during the Spanish Civil War and Lithuanian Gloster Gladiators of the pre WWII era. I combined a light grey (RLM 63) upper fuselage, fin and spats with light blue undersides (RLM 65), together with dark Green (FS 34079) upper wing surfaces. This green was also used for the contrast background under the national insignia under the wings, while the rudder became white. It's actually not bright and colorful, but different from typical cammo paint schemes or bare metal, and Lithuanian aircraft appear to have carried such dry schemes.
The decals were puzzled together. The Lithuanian insignia come from a Blue Rider sheet, the tactical code actually belongs to a Hobby Boss F-86 in Luftwaffe markings, and the horse emblem is from an Italian Fiat C.32. The white stripes on the wings are a personal addition, I wanted to add some more contrast to the national insignia, since the overall livery is rather simple and subdued.
The interior was painted in dark grey (Humbrol 111), but the canopy is so tight that you cannot see anything inside except for the pilot's head. For some contrast, all trim tabs were painted in a reddish brown (Humbrol 100), and the two-blade propeller reveiced an aluminum front and a black back side.
A simple whif, but again it's one less on the long idea an project list. Realized in just three days from box to dry varnish, plus some additional time for the pics.

I realize this is late, but I would love feedback about it. I took these last week but we left on Thursday on vacation and I'm just now catching up on things.
I chose this one because of the details of the assignment... vertical, not a headshot, and hopefully conveying something about the subject in the photo. Assuming this would run next to an article or somesuch, I didn't feel it necessary to blatantly state something about the subject, but merely hint at it. In this case, the background is Rice University, and the context of the photo in the publication would link the background to the context. At least, that was my thinking. :)
Lighting details: primary light is a Canon 420EX shot through an umbrella, above the subject and to her left. Secondary light is a 550EX on camera, ratioed way down so that it's filling a little and mostly triggering the 420. The sun is obviously illuminating the background and her hair, but ambient light alone would have left her very dark... most of the foreground light is from the two strobes.
Shot with a Canon EOS 10D, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.
Feedback would be great. Thanks!

Well, spent a few hours copying and pasting photos together to create backgrounds for Tol Galen today.
I have 2 monitors, so using a single photo didn't scale well so I created a set of 9 backgrounds (one for each virtual desktop) by copying and pasting image 2 images together with correct proportions so that there's one on each monitor.
I'm rather happy with the results. (Although some people would probably complain about the lack of common theme in the images.)

I was inspired by Jennifers' card in the card making section of the website here:-http://heroarts.com/cardmaking/cardIdea.cfm?cardID=3156
I love how she created the circles from the large design block and how she added the little flourish above the sentiment.
I wanted this card to have a washi feel to it so I stamped the summer green Hero Arts note card with Soft green shadow ink and the wood finish background stamp.
The circles were stamped using the poinsettia and birds design block and soft blossom ink, they were then embossed with thick clear embossing powder.
