ParticipantSilverStag, this appears to still work even though voting isn’t live yet: Go to the top of the page, check the “Hide nonvoting comments” box, and then click the Refresh button. If your posts are still there, they’re vote-enabled (and all 3 of yours look to be).
Participant‘Cuda, that Watters Creek shot is lovely.
ParticipantPretty much what they already said ^^ though I think that level of vignetting is a tad on the heavy side. I realize that can be done in the dark room, but I’d rather not be that heavy handed with stuff.
There’s a little artificial vignetting in my two vertical shots; let me know if it’s too much and I’ll swap with unprocessed versions.
ParticipantIf it looks familiar, my Grand Canyon shot is a different frame from the same set as one I used in “In Deep Shadow.”
Also, a few bees here for those interested.
ParticipantThanks fluffy, much appreciated!
ParticipantAnd apparently I have yet another to give away that I never used… so still two TF’s up from grabs between me and fluffybunny!
I’ve been gifted several times already so I don’t want to hog it by any means, but if there are still TF’s up for grabs and no other liter steps up, I’ll take one. It’s always nice to have the option to post early. 🙂
One in the top 10 makes me happy.
Dude, your other two placed 10th, so you got all 3 in the top 10! I’m anticipating an equally impressive showing for Sepia with all of the old-timey abandoned stuff you’ve got to shoot there.
ParticipantBut I do know borders are ok as long as they are not huge. a little narrow border is perfectly within the rules.
Sorry, yep, that’s what I meant – the fact that it has a border isn’t a problem, it’s that IMO it has too much border.
ParticipantThanks, I did give to tag numbers to the condor team out here since Im interning on the park(newest national park too!), they track the condors movements and I know it was useful for them since I got shots of two condors theyve been trying to monitor as possible breeding pair thats been hanging out together a lot recently.
Neat shots and scientifically useful, too – awesome! And you’re interning at a national park? Color the younger me envious!
ParticipantI’m not a mod, but here’s my opinion: The border is what puts it out of bounds for Farktography; the vignetting is something that could have been done in film using dodging and burning and thus is allowed in contests. That’s not necessarily my personal preference (I’d prefer that most post-processing be as non-obvious as possible), but that’s what I’ve interpreted from past discussions of it.
ParticipantCongrats to wickedfish on the individual win and to Barracuda on the combined win!
I had planned to enter this one and had already gleaned my list of potentials from the archives, but I came down Tuesday night with the worst stomach virus in recorded history (OK, maybe just my recent memory then). Aside from barely making it down Wed night to start the scraper, I didn’t even look at my computer for 3 days (that should tell you both how bad it really was and where y’all rank in my priorities ;)). I just got to feeling somewhat normal again yesterday, so barring a relapse, I’ll be back for Sepia.
ParticipantYoYo, an example in clarification of my question might be a dragster. It’s definitely not a stock car, but neither is it a stock car that’s been customized. Another way of asking – does the vehicle have to have originally been a stock, buy-it-off-the-showroom-floor car or truck that’s been customized, or can it be any vehicle that is simply not stock including vehicles that were never stock?
ParticipantHells bells. I can’t believe I missed my own damn topic. Too much real life crap lately.
I can identify with the “too much real life crap” for sure; I barely got in enough contests this year to qualify for my own yearly stats.
Speaking of stats, I just took a gander at yours; I knew you’d been gone a while but didn’t realize it had been since last April so you’ll even make the Kotters list your next contest!
Anyway, hope the “real life crap” is just general life busy-ness, good to hear from you, and of course we’d love to see you back in the contests when you get time again.
// loki, that last part applies to you, too, dude!
ParticipantYo, YoYo! Does this have to be a stock car that’s been customized, or is it any car that’s not stock (stock in this case meaning “as out of the factory”)?
ParticipantCongrats Els on another win! When it rains, it pours, doesn’t it? That moves you to tied for 2nd for most wins evar.
And congrats to oddmind on the sweep with the winning tie in individual and the blowout in combined!
ParticipantFWIW, your Shocker pic made me laugh out loud! Totally gets my vote!
Thanks, Els! So that’s you, me, and apparently two other oddballs that found it funny. 😆
