Fun with Photoshop 1 - Gasket and Tappet as fashion models:

They are great photos!!! How did you do them??? My bunnies are both very dark so they never look too good in a photo - any tips???
 
Excellent! I love the second one, they look so relaxed munching :)

Black bunnies photograph best when there is lots of light so try outside on a sunny day.
 
Thanks all for the kind words. I used my Sony Cybershot DSC-P50. Its a 2 Megapixel camera. I set it to, indoors, iso 100 and set the focus to 0.5 m rather than Automatic. Then I put up a white sheet as a background and tempted them into the shot with food. I also used flash. This was the result:

Then I used a filter in photoshop called "diffuse glow" to get the effect, I also cropped the images a bit and used the red eye tool.

More fun with photoshop:

Now in spooky glowing mode:

and now we invert the image to get a neon pencil crayon effect:

Another one of Taps:

Now using Accented edges filter:

Glowing edges with a subsequent Sumi-e brush-stroke filter:

and finally, we invert the above:

A couple of other fun shots:

This one converts taps into a drybrush painting:

And a glowing Gasket, just so as he doesn't feel left out with all this Taps attention.

Another filter I like is the watercolour one for my underwater shots. For example, I took these pictures of dolphins in Kenya:

CNV00004.jpg


Played around with them in MS photo editor and got these results:
