heres a pic of how my hair looks out of ponytail after a few weeks of water only washing. i am fortunate in that my hair does not get very oily...there is the natural oils that occur. i find my hair looks best after i take it out of a segmented ponytail after a day and then just finger comb it into place
and a side view
Looking good man!
You would show your hair off far better if you resisted the temptation to mess about with Photoshop or whatever programme. Just leave them alone, that works far better.
Hey Gordy, you have an awesome mane and it's cool the effect that you put on all your pictures but I do agree with UK that it would be nice to also see a plain picture without any manipulating.
I tend to agree as Gordy does have an awesome mane but the special effects from his web cam would be better if turned off.I can't believe that is the normal setting of this cam.

If I'm correct in my assumption, I'm guessing Gordy is using PhotoBooth, a web cam capturing program featured on the Apple Macbook. If this is correct, then I'm pretty certain no special affects or tampering are being deployed to the original image, Photobooth just has a very unique style as oppose to other web cam programs.

Hi James K,
Being I use an older Mac with an external webcam my image comes through "true to life" and I prefer it that way.If Apple is making their new machines to present webcam images such as what Gordy is displaying, I'd want to know how that could be shut off.I'm sure there is a way to normalize the cam image because frankly it makes the picture look doctored.Cheers

hey guys...well i cant honestly say i am employing any special effects on my pics. i am not to techie so that would be a feat for me to accomplish.i have a new laptop that has a built in webcam rather than a free-standing one and have just used the settings that came with it. i explored it a bit and found it has a properties setting page for contrast and hue and brightness and something called gamma and a couple other settings..so i will play with that a little and see what if any difference there may be...thanks for the comments...i appreciate any tips i get for how i can improve computer skills or my mane!
Hi Gordy,
Your mane is AWESOME and I hope you don't feel we are picking on because the way your image is presented.I know current laptops have built in cams as they didn't do that when I bought mine around eight years ago.If it's a Mac why not just go to the Apple store near you and get an appointment with the Genius Bar as they are quite helpful.It's free of course:)If it's a PC maybe someone here knows how to adjust cam settings.I'm no techie either as I stumble through most of my computing.LOL.Anyway just a suggestion and keep the mane growing!Cheers

wow! what a fantastic mane! Hoping to get there myself someday.
