    ‘kay good deal.

    Yay. It mildly annoyed my wife when I made her circle three times to get the shot of the WienerMobile…

    I had one of my pics disappear. Is this common or am I sleepy and drunk? Don’t answer that. Should I resubmit or wait and see if the cyber-gremlins let it go?

    lol I dunno if you’re sleepy or drunk, but it does happen with some regularity, especially if hosted at ImageShack. I’ll go look for it. In general, if it’s more than 130k-150k on the file size, there’s a chance it could disappear. Technically, Fark’s file size limit is somewhere around 200k, but there’s a greater chance that hosting will hiccup at some point and drop the image if it’s larger than 130k-150k

    Hmm I see two of your pics in the thread and nothing else in the ether. Did you submit 3?

    I submitted three entries and it looks like #3 disappeared.

    Yep, got it. That hooker hotel is pretty funny 😆

    Thanks, and thanks 🙂

    I got a couple of good shots, but didn’t want to make a third pass so we didn’t, um, ruin their ‘evening’ 😛

    /they’re there all week, but I think I’ll pass on the veal

    This is going to sound like a stupid or condescending question, but I’ve done this before myself, soooo, are you sure you hit submit and not refresh or reload after you entered your post in the box? Either way, I’d say go ahead and resubmit since I don’t find it in hiding. I’ll keep an eye out in case it resurfaces, though.

    😆 olavf!

    I resubmitted. It’s entirely possible that I only thought I clicked add comment. Thanks for your help.

    … I set up the tripod on the passenger seat with a remote cord and shot 1500 pics in the 25 mile ride home.

    60pic/mile 😯 In metric that’s 37.3pic/Km! Man, I need a new camera, the best I can get is about 14 pic/Km (that’s in the city, it’s even lower on the HWY).

    I’m hoping since planes and trains are cool, that photos from a ship – that I was definitely not helming – will also be copacetic.

    as has the realization that my tamron lenses on my Canon body do *not* auto focus with precision;

    my tamron on my maxxum 7D does the same thing. but so does the minolta kit lens that came with the camera. it tends to focus slightly in front of where i want it to. i only use the spot focus because when i used any of the area types the results were too random. a maxxum 7D review talked about using the sharpen feature but after reading the manual several times i’m thinking they meant when you process from RAW.

    Yep, that’s Kosher.

    Re image shack, I’ve found if they don’t load to hit refresh and sometimes the remaining pics come through on the second pass.

    Re Curious’s comment; sharpen helps in RAW, but it helps more when it’s more focused to begin with. Definitely a problem, same thing; too close. There’s a ‘range’ when shooting up close that says it’s focused, either too near or too far.

    And for Else on the ‘still’ shots; the I think my motion is pretty evident except the ‘objects in mirror’ shot; that one was maybe 5 mph at f16-20 (forget which exposure I wound up using). Might have been 3 mph. But we were moving–just really really slow; I just didn’t want to drop my darlot!!
