Participanti’m at work and can’t follow the link, but i wonder if it’s one i’ve seen before, where it stands to reason the guy isn’t the only photographer
Probably the same, but if I were the primary and this tshirt wearing yahoo dangling an L lens around his ankles was my back up, I would drag him out of the wedding by his ear.
Participantmopsy earned a genuine gut laugh with poor Charlie’s eyes in the tuna can.
ParticipantThanks to those of you who pushed me towards some creativety. It’s been a difficult last 6 months and I was at low ebb. I’ve got two that I’m willing to enter and have an idea for a third. Sometime you just need a gentle shove. Thanks!
This is why I choose Farktography over all the other places I could trot out my stuff. We’re, like, cool, and stuff. 8)
ParticipantThis may be the first time I have to sit out a contest. I had given thought to trying the night time sky thing but it’s been cloud covered for days. I have a couple of mundane star pics but I’d actually be embarrassed to enter them with all of the fantastic things I see here! Damn, I really hate to miss a contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a single star in any of my pics was in the sky. Just be silly, even if the votes don’t flow you might have a good time doing it.
ParticipantWater go down the hoooooole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtPgEjETeVw
Thank you for that, I’d forgotten that cartoon! And thank you for a title! 🙂
ParticipantFor stress relief, I strongly recommend buying some star shaped confetti and spend some time photographing it being flushed down the toilet. I just worked off three weeks of stress and reverted to a childhood habit of flushing things down the toilet. I’ve not had more fun with my clothes on in a long time.
ParticipantWell, I know what I won’t be doing this week 🙂
Participantcould someone please explain the allure of holga. i’ve watched/read as some of you go on and on about the joys of holga but i just don’t get it.
I feel you, when I go out shooting my with my old cameras I always get someone who asks if it is either a Holga or like a Holga. After I bite back several nasty remarks, I inform them: “No, unlike a Holga, this is a GOOD camera”.
ParticipantCurious wins for the DVD solution, you may pick up your prize at any of our convenient prize centers located in the Australian Outback, the Canadian Tundra and local Blockbusters.
since we still have two local blockbusters do i just use “Curious” when claiming my prize?
glad i could help.
Just don’t mention my name, I still owe them late fees from 1994.
ParticipantI’ve three 4GB CF cards, though I am buying a new 8 or 16 before I travel. Since I bought the 50D these cards are not big enough for a heavy street shoot, so I turn down the RAW file size for event work.
You’re right Curious I’m not going to Post Process on the road, I just want to dump the cards for that day and Lightroom them when I get home.
The DVD idea is the cheapest solution and most easily implementable. I’ve seen the portable HD’s with the card readers, I like those but the money I spent on that could better be spent on other things.

ParticipantOne knuckle-dragging blue-shirted Zeppelin actually uncapped all of my lenses and poked grubby fingers at the element surfaces.
It took him a few minutes to realize that he needed to grip the OTHER ring to unscrew a circular polarizer.
If you’re employed by the TSA, one or more of the following conditions apply:
1) You’re stupid enough to believe that you’re doing something useful.
2) You enjoy viewing and/or touching other people’s bits.
3) You’re a thug who is “paying everyone back” for not allowing you to be a hall monitor in grade school.
4) You’re unqualified for any other line of “work.”Seriously – if you’re a TSA employee, find another line of work that doesn’t have so much in common with being a guard at Treblinka or Dachau, “just following orders.” If that’s not possible, please at least TRY to remain focused on “safety and security,” and ignore the doobie you might find in someone’s pocket. And for Pete’s sake, stop groping the nine-year-olds.
It was actually you talking about the TSA in the Winter thread that made me think of this and worry about how I was going to transport my gear. I’ll be damned if some goon is going to be taking apart my gear in the airport.
ParticipantBack in the day when film was…well, all you had…I could simply hand over my bag with the film or let the screener know I had an film pouch and have it hand checked. Then I took my long break from photography and the world changed. I’m incline to mail the film since I know for a fact I will not be able to purchase 120 film in Etowah Tennessee and would be shocked if I could find black and white in any format.
On a related note, suggestions for archiving digital work on the road? I don’t have a lappy but I will have access to a computer. I am pondering picking up a cheap external hard drive and loading it with the Canon EOS software to use for quick develop and storage. I’m so used to being no more than a day or two away from home I’ve never thought about archiving while traveling and leaving on the CF cards just ain’t gonna cut it.
ParticipantI started to participate at Digital Photography School’s Weekly Challenges, but I chose not to. In the end, photography (for me) is a pleasurable activity, I am not going to take on weekly assignments unless cashy money is flowing in my pockets for the effort. Farktography’s relaxed rules about archive diving allow me to shoot when I want and dive when necessary, plus the community is smaller and friendlier.
ParticipantAs a matter of interest, this contest will mark my first entry from a cellphone camera.
The only possible connotation in which “camera” and “phone” can work in a sentence. 😀ParticipantNZ is on my list of places that if I were to go there, I might not come back. The photo verify it’s place on the list.
