Sometimes I'm on fire and I've got 10 drafts in the works. Other times I can't think of a single thing to write. I saw this tool from Skribit used by <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/05/02/skribit-find-out-what-your-readers-want-you-to-write-about/" rel="nofollow">Darren Rowse</a>, then by <a href="http://neil.creek.name/blog/2008/05/03/what-should-i-write-about/" rel="nofollow">Neil Creek</a>... so I figured I'd give it a go and see what turned up.

Writing a daily blog article can really tax the imagination at times. Often times I will use my readers comments and questions as fuel for future articles. You just took it to a new level. Nice.

I've seen many times, other people try to "reverse engineer" somebody else's style or post-processing technique. They typically get it kinda close, but still quite distinguishable from the real artist (Dragan and Dave Hill being good examples). But hey, it would be kinda fun to try. huh, I’d never thought about trying to do that… probably because it’s a very difficult thing to do.

Styles like the "Dave Hill look" and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cloughridge/" rel="nofollow">*Cinnamon's</a> style. Just another idea. Brian,

To the question from javi yanes: Unless the person is using the same monitor and same calibration setting it is very unlikely that the image will appear the same. If you have been to my blog you will notice from time to time that I post the WB setting fro the image. These are mainly for images that have subtle red/blue hues. On my calibrated monitor set to 6,000k it looks as it should. Since I have a dual monitor the second is not calibrated as it is a different model (I did try to hand calibrate with buttons) it will look more blue. The subtle red parts are almost all gone. I do recommend that if you want faithful colour reproduction that you invest in a monitor calibration device. These at times can be pricey, but since you do not use it very much for LCD display, why not go together with a few other photographers in your area and share the purchase and use of such a device. It is always a good ideas to sue other monitors (friends) to see how your images look from many platforms.
