Powerful Niagara Falls and Something Useful

I have visited Niagara Falls many times, and once you there and watch it flowing down it is really powerful feeling. The falls gives you sense of power, along with the power it generates, or not.

However, the purpose of this post was to give you some photo editing tip. I know that some of you have photo editing software and some of you don't. The idea was sparked by JB's Big World blogger cat, yes a cat, who asked me about adding copyright watermark on the photos. So I went and researched some applications that lets you make edits online. Well I found one that I experimented with a bit, and looks like this may be nice tool some of you may enjoy. This online software features tools like photo editing, special effects and animations. It is easy to use, all you have to do is upload image and edit as per items on the menu. However, watch out for your Internet speed, because I can speak for myself only and praise this application because I have cable Internet and it works fine.

Here is the link: MyTheme Online Photo Editor

Note the following: this application can do animation, however you will not be able to upload to the blogspot post, it simply converts image to static image. There may be workarounds, but I have not investigated yet, but may be you can tell me one day.

workaround:
maybe upload the animated graphic somewhere else and copy the URL and paste it in a blog post.
I don't upload thing to blogspot, instead I type the html for adding a photo btw.
Example:

Nice photo Anna ya if it is a GIF file upload it to a free image hosting like Picasa or photo bucket then get the url address & post that it should move then. :D
Hi Anna,
Thanks again for your help. I should have put the word "copyright" in the text too maybe? Although, wouldn't anyone be able to crop the copyright out any way? Thanks for putting a link to my site on your post. I am a cat, but I am trying to make my blog different with real photos and real stories, and not just about cats. My Daddy Len, who is a pilot, just got back from Mexico, so I will soon post a story about a swarm of Mexican bees! I am not just a regular cat you know, I am really smart for a cat! :^)
Thanks again from me and mom!

Great photo of the falls Anna, thanks for the link, have to look into it further, I took a pic of the falls when I was in TO on a course for insurance, can't find it now, it was on a film camera back in 89.

Stunning shot. The shot is well framed and captured

Anna - the falls are beautiful! I have never seen them in person, so I can only imagine the power you feel from them. Mother Nature is the best!

Great tips for the watermarking - I hate to use them, but they are a necessary thing these days.

Hi! Anna. Just saved that site to my favourites - Great Tip. Thank you to your friends as well, as they have helped me answer something I did not know until now.

Now for Niagara falls! Did you know that the first person to go over the falls in a barrel was a woman. Are people still doing it?

Max came to visit me the other day and left a wonderful comment. Max is such a great writer, there must be a book in there somewhere just waiting to come out.

As for my father with his hanky, he also tried the same thing with my hair as a kid, but he used his hand for that. So disgusting but wonderful memories ?!?

Take Care
Peter

Beautiful Anna, a place I want to visit one day!

Nice photo. It's beautiful place.
Lynda Lehmann said…
Thanks for the tip, Anna. I have Photoshop, but my guess is that I know only a tiny fraction of what there is to know!
myonlyphoto said…
kriz cpec thank you for our great help, check out my latest post, little credit for your tip. Thanks, Anna :) BTW no I don't have much of the falls on digital, just film camera, however, if I find more of good ones, I will post because it is great place to visit one day. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Thanks Roger, thanks for the tip too, it worked as you will see on my last Full Moon post. Thanks and check out my latest post for little thank you. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
JB's Big World don't you worry I know that you not just an ordinary cat, lol, and more than a smart cat. Yes copyright is fine, but I think putting your name has just the same effect. I wouldn't go back and change it, just change as you go for next photos, that is what I did, if you ever go back to the beginnings of my blog. And thank you to for your comments, and glad that worked out for you. Anna :)

Digitalshuttermania, thank you for your comments. And btw I liked your last post about flash diffuser, it was really useful. Thanks again, Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
That was long time ago Bob, 89, may be it is time to visit again. And actually most of my falls photos are on the film camera too, but these days who wants to go through them and use a scanner, lol. I think this technology made us somehow lazy, well at least me. Thanks for your comment, it is appreciated. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
roentarre thank you for your visit and kind comment. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Hi Kathy, if you ever around, please do go and see it. That place is always busy with tourists. And any time of year is nice too. In the winter everything is iced as the fine mist freezes everywhere. Beautiful, and now that I am thinking about it, may be I go and visit.

And you are absolutely right about the watermark, both pain and necessity. Thanks again, Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Peter, I think I did about the woman, and I hate to break the bad news for you - no body is allowed to jump in the barrel now, it is illegal, I think there was some crazy attempt few years ago. I had to ask about the above my hobby, and now he thinks I am getting some ideas, lol.

Max is great lady, and she is smart too, lot of ideas in her and I think I can see one day a book comeing out - and the nice thing is that we can say, oh I know Max, lol.

Oh Peter, your father with his hanky, so disgusting but wonderful memories - I have to agree, great memories to have, lol.

Thanks for your nice and entertaining comments Peter, Anna :)

JD, thank you for your comment, yes I was standing on the edge, however, fenced up, but there is that one spot that you can be about 2 meters away, and this is very close to be to such a mass of water. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
channelofhealing, lol about your husband, thanks for your comment and visit. Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Marcel.la thank you for your visit and comment, it is appreciated. Anna :) BTW I have made it quick visit to your blog again, and you have some nice photography there.
myonlyphoto said…
Lynda thank for the comment and visit. I love photoshop, and when I got it first time with my scanner, oh I couldn't go alway from it, I used to sit for hours, and that is how I did photo restoration for few years, but then the clicking wasn't helping my whole arm, so I switched to photography. I self learn, just went through all the items and saw what it can do. Thanks again, Anna :)
Anna,

I've never seen Niagara Falls so thanks for posting the great pic! the falls sure do look powerful. I bet it's quite a rushing sound.


Thanks for the photo tips.

Hugs, JJ

Great photo and thanks for the tips. This is an interesting view of the falls, usually you see more of it, but a different view is good. I'll check out that online tool you mentioned, at the moment I use Krita on Linux.

Cheers,

David

Hi JJ, thanks for your comment, may be one day you can make up here. Niagara Falls is really. I saw few times in my life, but everytime is like comeing first time again. Thanks again, Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Hi David, thanks for visiting and commenting. Yes you are right this is not the full view of the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls. I unfortunately don't have much digital photos of the falls, and it is kind of hard to take good photo too, it is always full of people. Well it is not that far from us about 3 hours drive, so once I have more it will come around here on my blog. Thanks for the tip, however, all my stuff is Wondows based. Never tried anything with Linux, as a matter fact not sure what it is, lol. Used Unix once for 3D CAD - very powerful. Thanks for comments again, Anna :)
Max Coutinho said…
Hey Anna,

Nice pic of the falls :)! I have not been there yet (but I will one day) *nodding*!

I already read Peter's comment: he is so kind :D! About a book coming out...Peter, I don't know about that lol; but I will think about it :D!

One day you guys will make a writer out of me, I swear LOL *nodding*! At least I already have the fame for it :).

Thanks Anna for giving me the tip!

By the way that software tip is awesome (you always have great suggestions): thanks :D!

Cheers

Happy Holidays and a Blessing for the New Year!!!

Hugs, JJ
myonlyphoto said…
Thanks Max, and if you visit the falls don't forget to visit me, I live about 200 or 300 km away, I come and pick you up. Yes Peter is kind, and I am glad that I accidently visited his blog. Hey girl, if you can write, you are already a writer, and then if you write something bigger, you are still a writer, but famous one. Hey why not, but please do not be pressured. I think this is why we like blogging, because there is no pressure, and we do whatever we want - so do it when you are ready, and if not, I still will like you Max. And you are welcome for the software, I like that kind of stuff, and since I got my camera set, I really been away from it too much. It is time to learn again, and days are colder outside.... Well better go and I will see you again (forgot the subscription again, lol - are you multitasking?, lol). Anna :)
myonlyphoto said…
Hi JJ, I have visited Gale's blog, and wow, that deer photo is just amazing, she is really good. I didn't leave message, but I will though when I come back later. The photography is just amazing as I scaned through few posts. Thanks for the link JJ, and you yourself have a good holiday, and all the best in a New Year. I will probably still see you around before, so the wishes do not end here. Thanks again, Anna :)

Merry Christmas Anna!

Nice image…was this taken before you went over the falls in a barrel? LOL
myonlyphoto said…
LS Merry Christmas to you too. I have to say yes, lol, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have such a good quality image, lol. BTW the barrel ride was a bit to rough on my bones, lol, but I survived. I am short term survivor, as opposed to long term Survivor China - if you know what I mean. Hey, thanks for visit, I was waiting for you :). Anna :)
Livingsword said…
LOL

I would love to see a barrel race over the falls on Survivor! Survivor Niagara? LOL (I almost accidentally wrote Survivor Viagra!) LOL LOL…**falling on ground rolling around laughing***
myonlyphoto said…
Oh great LS now I am going to be target with V....a google ads, lol. Glad you had a blast, please, laugh for me extra, as I cannot at this moment, too many people around, lol. Thanks again, Anna :)
Livingsword said…
LOL LOL

Use your inside laugh….LOL
Max Coutinho said…
Anna,

You are welcome, darling :)! Really? I will remind you of this :). It is a deal: when I visit the falls I will let you know :): I will leave a comment on your blog :).

"Hey girl, if you can write, you are already a writer, and then if you write something bigger, you are still a writer, but famous one. " - LOL you are so kind and supportive: thank you *bowing*!

Oooh, you are so sweet; let me share a secret: I like you too :D! You are right, blogging is really cool cause there is no pressure...nothing :).
So, you are a software girl, ey? Unfortunately I am not...*nodding*. I think I don't have the patience for it...
LOL yes, I was multitasking yesterday *nodding*...it was a crazy day! Plus I was preparing today's post (and translating it) and answering phones...madness! Thank God it is over, today things were quieter...:).

Thank you for the invitation, I will not forget it :)!

Cheers
