Also as a last comment, rav‘s tilt-shift also wasn’t done in camera, it was done with a vintage lens he modified to take tilt-shift images.

Just now got home and thanks everyone for continuing to explain the difference between what is and is not allowed. It’s been bothering me for some time and I believe I finally have a handle on the Farktography method vs. other photo contest sites. Part of my problem is that I don’t have all the additional toys, I’m not complaining, what I have is just fine, but it does lend itself to some of my confusion. Well, maybe it’s just that I’m an old lady trying to keep up with all you young folks. Thanks again with you patience.

Kestrana….your Shenandoah shot….North District, near Mt. Marshall, or Central District, just south of Mary’s Rock tunnel?

It’s looking almost due east from the eastern flank somewhere north of Thornton Gap. Very close to where the historical marker talks about the squatters who lived in the park during the Prohibition era and Chimney trail that takes you through their ruins (which I have yet to walk).

Look for some of the old cemeteries down there, too. There are some along Keyser Run and Little Devils Stairs, if I recall.

Congrats to RagnarD this week!

+1.

Very pleased with my 2nd place for the Lake Mineral Wells sunrise, especially considering all of the really great shots this week. Really wish I had more than that single frame of that shot. Was still using the timer to eliminate camera shake on the tripod (while I was digging out the remote trigger). The next frame the kayak was half into the shadows already.

Congrats, you should be. I really liked that one.
