11-24-10 – Farktography Classic: Autumn II

For once I’m happy with all three of my entries, and they all look good on three different types of monitors.

//This means, of course, that I’ve picked all the wrong ones and will sucketh loudly.

I had trouble with one title. I decided to go bold and just call it ‘Autumn’. Unless I think of something better in less than an hour’s time.

Beeeeeez

I like pretty much all of these. 🙂

Hey. This theme made me remember a question I have. My Canons seem to have trouble with largish, relatively uniform red-red things. They get blown out in relation to the rest of the frame.

Example – http://photos.imageevent.com/ulle17/peopleplaces/m_7822.jpg

Check out the red dress. It featureless in this pic but not in real life. Any input? (I spent an afternoon taking pics of this dynamic lady for a mail-out thing she did while running for county board.)

i’m drinking my sambuca in anticipation of the anxiety of waiting for days to see how the masses vote, to see if the populace shares any similar opinions of my photos that i do.

i really should do better in convincing myself that votes/comments/views are irrelevant.

good luck, all.

Rav, your shot with the fence is really really fantastic. Sometimes I wish you posted with Flickr so I could fave them.

Thanks. I do post them in my FB acct, which you can PM me to find if you’d like. That particular one was also one of my entries in the Az Highways photo contest; don’t know that it will win as it’s not a full landscape view (and it’s in that category), but I do think they’ll at least think it’s a nice picture. I love it. Sadly, I accidently erased the RAW version, and had to work with the jpeg (unless it’s hiding somewhere in my drives, which sometimes happens.)

I’m liking the entries so far, in particular Mopsy, Eden… (the blurry one), and Because I Said So had ones I particularly enjoyed.

//going to be a tight contest!!
