stay tuned for a tutorial + i'm finally gonna do something i have wanted to for a while... host a weekly link-up party! {for "moving pictures"}

so... i got such a big response on my last post with my latest moving picture {thank you!} that i decided i would do two things. 

ONE... since so many of you asked me to share how i make my "moving pictures", i will be posting an easy-peasy tutorial {based on the four-framed example above} on how to make them in photoshop... check back here tomorrow to see! {for those of you who don't have photoshop, i will provide links to other ways they can be made.}

TWO... i have always wanted to host a link-up party around some sort of theme related to photography here on this blog. but i never realized what i could do that is not being done already. well, after seeing the joy my dinosaur animation seemed to bring, it dawned on me that this would be a great theme for a linky part... not dinosaurs, but animations with photos rather. i have not seen any animated gif photo link-ups anywhere, and since i love to make them {it's sort of my "thing"}, i figured this is what i should be doing for hosting such a party! YAY! i'm super excited to start it! i hope it will take off. it may be slow-going at first, but i hope it will turn into something, because i think these {what i've coined} moving pictures are so much fun... both to make, and to see. and based on the feedback i've gotten on mine, i think you all agree!

those are the kind of things that make for good community participation groups... when it's something that you enjoy doing and something you enjoy seeing others do. this is perfect!

so, my link-up button will look something like the gallery button i have for my moving picture posts on my "other" page...

i'll get that part all squared away when i post my tutorial tomorrow. i think my first link-up will be monday... that way, i can call it "moving pictures monday". is that cheesy? thoughts?

well, i hope your weekend is off to a great start! and i hope you can spread a little lot of

today!

cheers.

{see you tomorrow!}
