Elsinore and I were talking as I was tweaking this thing and that under the hood, and I couldn’t tell if it was just confirmation bias, or if the interface really was running faster. It seemed like it was, but… it’s a fine enough difference and I’ve tweaked things before only to have it turn out to not be it, so I…Read more

I made some changes to the site tonight. Hopefully (again) it’ll fix some of the performance issues with the site. Let me know how you like it, will you ?

Won’t someone think of the furries?

No. No, I’d really rather not. *shivers in fear*

How do you feel about sailors and Marines? 😀

Yes. The intent was to cover anyone serving their country, either currently or previously. I can see where ‘soldier’ may imply a limitation to only those in the army, and that was not the intent. I’ve reworded it a bit.

Including unauthorized imitations, like Crabs Adjusting Humidity or Farking Cards Man?
+1

After giving it some thought, opening up to outside groups would make it a LOT more difficult to manage. I could print some cards, call it my own unauthorized imitation, and do just about anything.

I’d rather we keep it to the official CAH released sets.

I would go with it again, and Im pretty certain the first tilt shift one was one of the highest vote totals ever.

214 Jun 10, 2009 Tilt-Shift Faked Miniature Scenes By using either a tilt-shift lens, a DIY option such as a toilet-plunger tilt-shift, or one of many software solutions, create your own photo that looks like a miniature set, but…Read more

But what’s the difference between a moped and a motorized scooter to disqualify one but not the other?

Because those were the rules the first time around, and I didn’t notice? 😉

Hot.

If you need me, I’ll be in my bunk.

Um, guys, the *only* captions for this contest are win, fail, or “I like where this thread is going”. THere aren’t supposed to be titles or other descriptions. Those of you with other other stuff need to repost without.

No other descriptions at all?

From earlier:

Posting normal pictures and typing the caption above/below was the original…

Does anyone here not reserve all rights to the images they post on-line?

In general and as a default, yes I’ve got all rights reserved. However there was one shot (“Screwing”, not even a good one) that someone supposedly wanted to include in a wikipedia article. Wikipedia’s licensing requires a share-and-share-alike license (or some other CC…Read more

Photographic equipment

Generally regarded as legal in most countries, parallel imports make expensive photographic equipment attractive to savvy users. The grey market in photographic equipment is thriving in highly developed and heavily taxed states like Singapore, with dealers importing directly…Read more

/oh, and it is really hard to get water drop to stick to near-vertical surfaces. glycerin or something would have been better.

That’s when you cheat, lay everything on its side, and turn the camera 90 degrees. It’s either that or turn gravity, and one’s a little easier to pull off 😉

Ok, so who’s breaking out the Mentos and Diet for this week? (I’m not, I don’t want to get that sticky…)

*whistles innocently* They were for the Curves contest, honest!

I answered 10-15 but the real truth is that it varies. Sometimes I get it right the first time and only take 1 or 2 more for insurance. Other times (like the self-portraits contest) I just start shooting and don’t stop until an hour later when I have 100 shots; of which 3 get used. Sometimes I get lost in the possibilities and other times I…

Man, I feel so inadequate with my 17-40 over here…

/Lens envy sucks.

It’s not the size of the lens, its how you use it…

To me, that says you need to photograph the physical structure of the bridge.

Yeah, sure. Next thing you know you’ll be yelling at those darn kids to get the heck offa your lawn.

Too late. And the language was more colorful 😉

schnee i really liked your shot of ver 3.0

Seconded. It’s definitely a worthy winner for this week. Good show!

(and yes, the next code update we’re planning to post a link in the thread as well, just because that seems to still be the popular method of looking for it 🙂

Can I have a pair?

as to what you’re doing with them in your spare time… please don’t share, therapy’s too expensive.

But then those Germans are a strange lot….;)

One word: Lederhosen. Any questions?

Turns out it’s not just me and things have gone a bit Pete Tong.

I’ll bite. Pete Tong?
