Corsec – your “run DOS run” got a loud HA! out of me. 🙂
/and your text made me feel old, but I’ll let that slide. 😛
May 27, 2010 at 5:57 am #27570ravnosticParticipantWell, by that point, it will have been voted on, so that’d be changing a photo after it has votes….not really kosher at that point.
mmkay then. (although at the moment it doesn’t have any votes).
May 27, 2010 at 6:15 am #27571ravnosticParticipantHow come the stat manager says I only posted two images this week (salt, laser, magnets, 1,2,3…yep, 3.)
May 27, 2010 at 6:51 am #27572olavfParticipantIt won’t pick them up if there aren’t any votes.
/got nuthin 😛May 27, 2010 at 11:36 am #27573ElsinoreKeymasterYeah that^^
May 27, 2010 at 3:11 pm #27574ravnosticParticipantI’m noticing several images are showing up skewed for some reason; one was mine (I reloaded the laser shot on my website and it seems to fix it–same file, but now it shows correctly); Orionid’s NSFW image (the post shot, not the ‘real’ image) is another, one of U-man’s shots as well, Mopsy’s frog–anyone else seeing this or is it just me?
May 27, 2010 at 4:08 pm #27575ElsinoreKeymasterThey look ok to me?
May 27, 2010 at 7:17 pm #27576orionidParticipantAnd as for your NSFW entry..wow…just…wow. That took balls. But at least they aren’t (ostensibly) blue…
😀 😳 😈 😆
I haven’t clicked on orionid’s yet. Just ate. Don’t want to risk it.
You should share it with your co-corkers…. right after lunch.
This is one I did at the park at night. Chose the other three.
If I may say, I like this one a lot better than the candy one. It also looks like you’re having a little too much fun with off-camera flash. Someday I’m going to drop a wad on an SB-900 or two and play around with complex lighting. Someday. It’s on the list.
May 29, 2010 at 1:20 am #27577cameraflageParticipantFor the life of me, I still cannot figure out how my image of a plastic dinosaur with missiles glued to it is in the lead.
Anyhoo, here are a few B-sides, and some technical notes about the Brilla Nucleonics Weapon Systems Division Fifi Mk.II Assaultasaur:

Here’s a shot with text indicating what Fifi is armed with:

Most of the stuff came from my scrap part drawers, while the armor and structure are made from sheet styrene and styrene forms. The Gatling guns and hydraulic cylinders are made of brass tubing. And yes, some controlled substances may have been involved.
Last but not least, here is a shot of Fifi, getting a snack, years before she was fitted with armor and weapons:

May 30, 2010 at 3:45 am #27579ravnosticParticipantI liked all of the cameraflage b-sides, but think the one in the contest is the bestest. Except…that last tongulashing…that’s just plain *hawt*, even if it’s wrong, and with no disrespect to orionid’s NSFW post (which is also in my archives, for later viewing pleasure), I’d love to be a camera on some belly lint.
Oh, wait.
Did I write that out loud?
I meant to use my quite writing voice…

I know. I think I agree. It’s just that the candy one was a pain in the butt to get. I tried 4 different times. 1st the candy was on the ground and way out of focus due to DoF. 2nd and 3rd tries involved putting a bunch of encyclopedias on the floor with a place for my head (in order to raise up the candy). My 12 year old did the candy placement and effed it up both times with obvious holes. It was frustrating because I couldn’t preview the images. Mrs U-Man did set up for the 4th try. The DoF is still too shallow.
It was one of those times where my choice was based on what went into the photo rather than what came out of it. Y’know?
I am fascinated by off-camera flash. It is a pretty big topic. The http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/ site is pretty cool.
