08-08-12 – Chains, Wires, Cables & Ropes

I still have a photograph to make, will post it tomorrow, if at all. Had to move to a new house last weekend and it’s been hell.

No landline, and no internet access in the short term.

/I’m dying here.

The shots you posted are farking powerful shots. I am profoundly jealous of them. Indeed, I am pretty much gnashing my teeth at most of the shots you post. Are you a Ringer? 🙂

I agree with the Powerful comment. On the slightly tighter framed one I said wow out loud even. Bummer about your internet access probs emiliogtz . Hope that gets straightened out fast.

Regarding the post-processing issue, I have some questions/comments about what’s allowed. Should I do that here or start a new thread in the Pub(?).

I was just doing my Saturday morning voting in this weeks theme and I wanted to say that I think I should half credit…OK, 1/4 credit for Kestrana’s win (if it holds which I think it will) 😀 (Please note: in no way is that serious gripe, complaint or whine!)

Also, isn’t it annoying when you come up with an idea for a theme, then discard it and then come up with a way to make it work after the theme has gone live? On Monday I was watching some Spy show, actually it was Alias, and they were defusing a bomb, complete with the “OMG which wire do I cut?!” scenes. I thought: “Ahah! That would be awesome.” Some modeling clay, a kitchen timer, some wires, cheap, easy and would probably do well in the voting. Shoot it with a pair of wire snippers, long exposure and shaking to convey the stress. Cool, right?

I didn’t do it because I was actually worried that someone would see it and think it was real, then the cops are called because the world is farked up and some morons are out there making REAL ones putting them on the Internet.

This morning, the thought: “You could use Play Doh in the cans, it would give people the idea you wanted to convey without the worry and would be actually funny.”

Damnit so much. That would have worked. 🙄

//Yeah, let me know how that works out for you;

…didn’t quite work out for me, though I thought at the time it would be awesome, too. 😕

//did better with the phuqin’ picture of the lazy cat.

OK, now I feel better about not doing it. 🙂

Wow that was a nice surprise to come home to after camping over the weekend. Thanks guys. Totally credit to ennuipoet for inspiring me to take my own version of that shot.

Not just the individual win, but the sweep with the combined win as well. Yep, rarified air indeed, Kes – congrats!
