Vincent Russello, attempting a scam

Vince

I gave Bill your email address. He wil contact you to setup a time for photographs.

Terry

cool , i heard he is pretty good with pics

Vince,

I see the same thing Darin is seeing. 2 different colors for each picture. The only reason this would go 100 pages is if you continue to show you ignorance.

of cource you do, anyone else need free tickets for a ride on the banwagon?

 

[Cheryl Marchek AKA JM]

"same light, same camra, same picture location , differnt (sic) leo."

All I did was cut and paste~ THIS is what the colors look like on (red (Pic 1) and the yellow (Pic 2)) on my NEW moniter.

 

[Vince]

i dont know about all of this, there has been so many photos on here and many people Altering my photos. they are defently two differnt colors i dont see pic one as being red tho

 

[DAND]

There you go Vince lie your way out of that.

Color by Numbers

Okay, I'm going to bore everyone with what I do when I've got nothing better to do....

Okay, I took the two pictures, the one of the yellow gecko and the red gecko on the same lid, in the same room, with the same camera...yadda yadda yadda.... I took a sliver from each so that I could ignore everything but the color... I used the eyedropper and altered the color on only one bit of the photo.

I'm going to go over this one piece at a time.

#10 is the yellow gecko unaltered photo, just sliced into a sliver. It appears twice in the photo.

#'s 1 and 5 are the circled part of the lid ... I took a color drop from there and painted the rectangle that nice greenish color.

#'s 2 and 7 are from the circled part on the gecko... that's the color of the gecko from this photograph. A bright yellow orangey color.

#12 is the original picture of the RED gecko on the opening page of this thread.

#9 is from the SAME lid, I took a spot, circled it, and made the colored rectangle... it's a nice sort of gray blue color. (though it should be the same as #1 & #5 if Vince wasn't color blind.

#'s 3 and 8 are from color swatches from the RED leo, and I must admit that is a VERY bright red.

#11: Now we get to the only part I actually altered... I toned up the brightness, added some green and some blue, and got a close match so that the sliver from #12 was altered so that the SAME lid was the SAME color as swatch #1 & #5. Now we see a new color for the gecko.

#6 is the new color of the lid from the ALTERED photo of the red gecko showing a nice orange gecko.

#4 is the dull orange color from the same spot on the RED gecko taken from the ALTERED photo in #11....

Of course, if VINCE is to be believed... aside from the silly numbers, the colors of the lids are identical, and the colors of the gecko altered and unaltered should also be the same...

Either that or Aliens have come down and swapped all monitors on PLANET EARTH except for Vinces.

(I don't discount this possibility, as Aliens are often to blame for many strange things.)

Now I just wanted to share my limited expertise with a photo program. I used to have Photo Shop, but lost it in a move and computer crash, and now I just use Adobe Photodeluxe. Nifty little program. If I had a fire engine red gecko like that I'd trade it for a copy of Photoshop. Ah well.

i havent lied since the start of this thread. you guys just keep comeing up with something new, how come no one thought of this new trick 40 pages ago? lol what a joke

all photos i took have not been altered by any software or enhancing light. this is a result of someone with to much time on there hands

These are where I got those two references. I did not change any of the colors in my copy, all I did was shrink them and add Pic 1/Pic 2 label. Check the links to verify that for your self Vince. I used your photo's to show the different colors.

they are indeed differnt pictures, and the light and shadow effects inhance and alter the true color. same light, same spot, non altered photos. real red leo!

 

[Sasheena]

I'm sure Webslave is glad you think his site is a joke. Do you have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to say, or are you just going to keep coming up with one-liners that add no substance.

VINCE....

1. are you saying that the doorknobs in Cheryls' pictures are the same identical color?

2. Are you saying that the lids in the two photos are the same identical color IN THE PHOTO???



Just yes or no, by number, no need for editorializing. If you want, I'll define editorializing, as I'm not sure you understand what that means. It means all you have to do is say YES or NO next to each question.

And Vince... when will you understand that it is not necessarily being said that you ALTERED THE PHOTO.... just that you chose a photo the least like reality to market your animal. THAT is what it is about.

 

[Mike and Erica @ MotherGecko]

Vince, Now come on man... If 200 people here are telling you the sky is blue why are you insisting it's not, are they all blind? are they all lying, does that mean you think i'm lying to you? I guarentee that at least a dozen people here have had, or currently own more leopards than you might ever own in you entire life, and see this 'new morph' is nothing new, nothing new at all.

Vince I have spent an incredible amount of time and money (more time than money lol) on Leopard geckos and to someone like myself I stay awake at night hoping that one single egg will pop with something 'new' inside. I live for the day it happens, I beg, I plead, I pray for that day! Now if someone offered me a'new morph' free of charge to get into, WHY WOULD I DECLINE if I thought it was a real deal???? Why would someone so dead balls in love with Leopard gecks pass on a possible 'new morph'? Free even! I mean even if I though there was a remote possibility that something 'new' might arise form it I would be all over it.

It doesn't take a master of reptile photography such as Bill Love to capture the true colors of the gecko at all. I wouldn't consider myself to have the amount of photography skills that Bill has even forgotten about. Cause IT's GROSSLY OBVIOUS

I will say I am amazed at some of the incredible talents here with the picture detecting skills, kudos to you all, again I am very impressed and hope I'm never on your bad sides lol.

i said this thread is a joke, not this site. dont twist my words like you all did with my photos.

Just for the record...

Vince,

No, it is not that your auctions are the only ones Geckogal04 has won...as a matter of fact, she's won very few of your auctions...i think she won ONE. (That's my recollection from the other day, I didn't go back and count this afternoon.)

Let me say it again:

SHE HAS ONLY BID ON YOUR AUCTIONS.

To find that information, one needs only go to Reptibid, do a search by user name on closed items, and all the items she has bid on will be listed. They are ALL your items.

Just wanted to clear that up.

all this gecko needs is a good pic. i wasnt really going to give it to you , sorry i was just being sarcastic. those picture disectors cant be to good, becuse these are unaltered photos to begin with lol.

Vince you are a sad sad little boy. You are still avoiding questions but you'll reply with your one liners to everything else. Is there any reason you are still avoiding certain questions?

 

[Vince]

i think i asked once before, please ask these questions that you think i am avoiding. please.
