    Umm one of mine is coming up as deleted due to a broken image (at 2008-07-16 08:03:46 PM – the image should be fine). Can you please fix it Elsinore?

    Thanks 🙂

    This being fark, I’d lean towards funny.

    Thanks for the advice. 🙂

    u-man, goddamn, I love the way you think.

    Thanks. I initially bought a chicken (dead, plucked, in a wrapper from the store) and was going to throw that up in the air but it just didn’t happen. I had this KFC idea on Tuesday. I think that my neighbors might consider me a bit odd. I was throwing that bucket up in the air in my front yard and shooting it at 6.5 fps.

    Hey, there are 5 eagles in that smack down photo, right? Great shot. One of the best tonight.

    Ha! I’ve never heard the UFK one. I like it.

    As I said before, I spent a bit of time last week annoying a merganser. I got several nice shots and was torn up tonight on which ones to use. Here are some that I really wanted to show. They’ll just have to wait until they fit in somewhere else.

    I gotta’ be honest here…..The flying bucket of KFC wings posted by U-Man is questionable…While it is a great idea, and well thought out, something is not right…..An adjustment of levels could very well turn the bottom of the bucket black, but there are obvious signs of Farktography rule breakage….I have admired (and voted for) the great shots from U-Man, and always will, but this one stinks of heavy handed PS….I have nothing to gain by pointing this out, as my images are crap this week, but I have got to voice my opinion….If I’m wrong, I’ll put my foot in my mouth and try to eat it……However….What’s this graph I’m seeing ?

    Futhermucker, No harm. No foul. We’re cool.

    /shadows frequently make things look darker, too.

    And for the craziest place to submit entries into farktography contest from:

    I am currently in a fire camp in Chowchilla, CA, so I will not be able to check on my entries at all until later this week.
    I didn’t have much for this contest anyways.

    Good luck everyone.

    I never knew they actually wrote on the bottom of those. I can’t imagine too many people actually look at the bottom of a KFC bucket…

    Yes. 2 grounded and three in the caterwaul. That was one of my best shots from 3 days of sleeping in my car and never going inside for more than 20 minutes at a time in 0 to -20?F weather.

    Is there a particular brand of BBQ sauce that goes good with feet ? 😆

    It still looks fishy to me….The shape of the bucket, and all, isn’t quite round, but you laid down the proof…..I respect you for that, and was hoping there was a good explanation…..Cheers !

    Different monitors will handle contrast, brightness and colors differently. I didn’t notice the “graphs” at all on my main monitor until you did the crop. They probably show up pretty well on my laptop monitor, though..it’s overall brighter. Also keep in mind that there’s a lip around the bottom edge of the bucket, and that will affect the shadows as well.

    Yeah, it just looked funky to me. I thought the Burn tool was abused, and possibly some heavy cloning going on, as well…I call ’em as I see ’em….There’s no shame in that…..”Selective application of any digital filters, correction tools, distortion or other special effects is prohibited both in-camera and in post-processing unless otherwise allowed for a specific contest.”

    I just like to see people stick to the rules…Peace out ! 8)

    P.S……I still question “selective application” in this case.

    I know this sounds harsh, but even the ~”BOOBIES”~ Farktographers deserve a fair chance….Yes ?
