    Wow, looking back through this thread I see that I had the camera in Dec. 2006. We need to do this again but faster.
    Sorry I haven’t been around but I went over to another site. Farktography has really grown, I’m proud of you all.

    I just wanted to say fark you and the horse you rode in on for not putting Sigma on the list. Then I thought better of it. So I will just ask about Mamiya, Leica, Olympus, Cabo, ect. 🙂

    Honestly I think the scroll wheel is a little soft and as you pointed out the bottom of the mouse could have a tad more light on it. I didn’t realize that the logo was on the mouse pad, I thought you had added it(oops).

    How many lights are you using? Sometimes for a simple shot I might use 5 or more lights and reflectors all wraped with cinafoil and little holes cut out to get the highlights just right. Other times I will drill a hole in the table and put a light under it to add sparkle to a glass or liquid sitting on the hole. It’s the little things that count and I’m very anal retentive about things like that.

    I think the best way to get better at photography is to put your best pictures up on a wall and look at them for about a week and write down on them everything you can find wrong and then try to take the same shot and make it better. You are at the point now that most people are just going to tell you that you’re great because they don’t know any better. Don’t believe that, you can always do better and have to reinvent yourself constantly.

    And if you ever want to go pro I highly recomend an agent.

    /Take care

    I’m sorry, I was in a bad mood last night so I scribbled suff on your picture that I’ve seen art directors do. Some of it makes scence and some of it is cryptic at best. I acually do like your picture though.

    Damit, I didn’t even think to look under the foam to find cool things. I could of hidden a WITFP(wennie in the farkamera package) in there.

    Barbies? 😉

    I don’t think the camera is any good till about 4′ so, I’ll do something outside nature wise. I think I’ll take it down to the creek. It would have been nice if it came with a log paper of what people have taken pictures of so that I don’t repeat anything.

    The photo you posted at 8:03:16 would make a nice cover for that calendar. Outstanding shot — it has a really neat Van Gogh feel to it.

    That is the only pic I took for this contest all the others are old. I found a fall bouquet at the grocery store for 2.99 and knew it would make a good subject.

    There are so many great photos all ready. I’m sure the top 12 would make a nice calender.

    The first pic has backlighting and the second has a pink filter applied evenly. What is better?


    And if you wonder why it looks like a painting it’s because of an extreme crop and gaussian blur followed by unsharp mask.
