19:07:34 <mizmo> yay
19:07:35 <elad_laptop> <tatica> loading
19:07:41 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> gnokii: /invite mizmo please
19:07:43 <elad_laptop> * #fedora-design-dandelions :You're not a channel operator
19:07:45 <elad_laptop> <gnokii> elad_laptop: for what
19:07:47 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> here.
19:07:49 <elad_laptop> * gnokii gives channel operator status to pseudomonas
19:07:51 <elad_laptop> <tatica> ok, I like the 3 first one, they are really sharp
19:07:53 <elad_laptop> <tatica> but I would point more to the sky
19:07:59 <elad_laptop> <tatica> to get a more bluish colors
19:08:01 <elad_laptop> <tatica> elad_laptop, can you do that?
19:08:03 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> tatica: no, I can't, cause I took those last fall
19:08:05 <elad_laptop> <tatica> ohhh :S
19:08:11 <elad_laptop> <pseudomonas> I like the first one and the last one but the two in the middle make me feel sideways
19:08:14 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> pseudomonas: can you /invite zodbot and /invite mizmo please?
19:08:16 <elad_laptop> <pseudomonas> I think I have
19:08:18 <elad_laptop> <pseudomonas> I don't really know if I did it right?
19:08:20 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> I don't know
19:08:22 <elad_laptop> <elad_laptop> do you want to /op me so I can try?
19:09:06 <mizmo> elad_laptop, we hae to have zodbot added via #fedora-admin
19:09:13 <elad_laptop> oh, sucks
19:09:13 <mizmo> which is why i think sticking to this channel is a better idea
19:09:18 <elad_laptop> okay
19:10:00 <pseudomonas> are we supposed to be in this one or the other one?
19:10:09 <elad_laptop> this one.
19:10:12 <elad_laptop> well, those are all the photos I had, I'm pretty sure you could find better ones online.
19:11:43 <mizmo> this one :)
19:11:49 <mizmo> sorry i goofed
19:11:58 <pseudomonas> no problem, we know now
19:12:27 <elad_laptop> so basically a dandelion could be a nice subject, we need to find good free pictures though
19:13:03 <mizmo> wallpaper composition is tricky
19:13:08 <mizmo> it can't grab users' attention too much
19:13:15 <mizmo> but it's got to be high res and beautiful and clear
19:13:20 <mizmo> not too much contrast
19:13:34 <mizmo> the angle can't be too extreme either
19:13:44 <elad_laptop> yes. this is why all my photos are useless :)
19:14:12 <mizmo> lol dandelion + bokeh http://www.flickr.com/photos/31878512@N06/4644606033/
19:14:28 <mizmo> http://www.flickr.com/photos/31878512@N06/4544098044/
19:14:54 <mizmo> http://www.flickr.com/photos/villamon/3487229452/  this one is a good composition, but the dandelion has too few thingys left
19:14:57 <mizmo> so it looks kind of icky
19:15:03 <mizmo> scale-y
19:15:27 <elad_laptop> yeah, a bit too detailed
19:16:09 <mizmo> this is a strong composition, but the colors are too neon http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilektrik/2569516382/sizes/o/in/photostream/
19:16:39 <elad_laptop> yeah
19:16:43 * elad_laptop wonders if someday someone would jump against using flowers as backgrounds because they are the plant's sex organ (what makes flower photography to plant porn) :P
19:16:45 <mizmo> this is gorgeous, super hi-res too http://www.flickr.com/photos/31878512@N06/3662701865/sizes/l/in/photostream/
19:17:02 <mizmo> lol if someone made that objection, i would send them ketchup
19:17:31 <mizmo> http://www.flickr.com/photos/aidanmorgan/5725836812/  great composition, dandelion too bare again
19:17:37 <mizmo> this is my fav so far http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilektrik/2569516382/sizes/o/in/photostream/
19:18:12 <elad_laptop> this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/31878512@N06/3662701865/sizes/l/in/photostream/ is nice, but, kinda missing the blue most of our wallpaper had
19:18:16 <elad_laptop> and I like the blue :D
19:18:33 <mizmo> we could add some blue elements in
19:18:41 <mizmo> eg we could duotone it green and blue, make the backgroud blue
19:19:04 <elad_laptop> might be interesting to try
19:19:34 <elad_laptop> (note that I'm not going to be the one who will do it cause I do not know how)
19:19:54 <mizmo> i could totally do it
19:20:43 <elad_laptop> seems that it would make a great background
19:25:04 <mizmo> okay im going to give that a go right now
19:26:02 <elad_laptop> awesome
19:26:30 <mizmo> im opening it up in dark table and gonna try duotone with blue
19:34:41 <mizmo> elad_laptop, okay here i gave just the dandelion strands themselves a blue tint http://www.flickr.com/photos/mairin/7686171876/in/photostream
19:34:49 <mizmo> (really more cyan but fedora blue is more on the cyan end of blue)
19:35:02 <elad_laptop> nice
19:35:10 <elad_laptop> very good
19:35:33 <mizmo> elad_laptop, this one, is the background blue http://www.flickr.com/photos/mairin/7686184504/in/photostream
19:36:10 <elad_laptop> this one is a tad too dark though... I feel like a wallpaper should feel happy, not gloomy
19:36:23 <mizmo> yeh the challenge is making blue not gloomy hehe
19:38:44 <mizmo> a tiny bit brighter http://www.flickr.com/photos/mairin/7686202160/in/photostream
19:39:26 <elad_laptop> looks much better
20:00:27 <mizmo> this is my latest / brightest http://www.flickr.com/photos/mairin/7686345986/in/set-72157630842424184
20:01:14 <elad_laptop> mizmo: redirects me to a yahoo login page
20:08:11 <elad_laptop> mizmo: I need to go now, but could you please email this one to the list?
20:26:46 <mizmo> sure
