(but yah, don’t look up tubgirl, mmkay?)

To be fair, the theme description has had that difficulty for several weeks since the theme was announced.

Oh no no, don’t misunderstand. It’s difficult, more difficult than I anticipated… in fact I didn’t like it at all! I’m not complaining that the rule was there, but I didn’t realize how tied I was to titling… i felt very weird posting…Read more

thank you for pulling photos with descriptions! I really wanted to use this one:

but it’s not funny unless you know it used to say “bears in area, please stay on trail”.

No it doesn’t! I’m trying to figure it out… it’s killing me! I’ve made out “PA__ CRE_K TRAIL”

Park Creek Trail?

Also, I think if you’re taking photos of pure text, you’re doing it wrong 😛 But that’s just my opinion.

I think it’s fine. I’ve also got one that’s suggestive of other things.

Va-va-va-…oh.

I don’t think “nothing complex” is a guideline – it’s just saying that the topic isn’t complicated.

As well, I predict lots of close-up pictures of flowers and sunsets, with a fairly predictable winner. Which is why I prefer more narrow themes, as the obvious ones have obvious winners …

How… bizarre. I can see why you predicted what you…Read more

Somebody knows what works! 😛

edit: to be clear, these are all different pictures and totally OK under the rules in my book! I just saw the photo and looked up the farktographer, and found the top 10 entries entertaining!

If you can get a great deal, go high speed.

If you do love HDR, I highly recommend using Photomatix, it’s worth the money if you can afford. The open source one (I can never remember it’s name) you guys are referencing is fantastic too, especially for the money… but Photomatix can…Read more

That being said, I’m off to Hong Kong in 1 week, and my budget is being eaten up by lenses that I normally couldn’t afford (go Canadian dollar!). The sigma 10-20 for $380 canadian is crazy! Plus I want to get a very good low-light prime (the…Read more

My wallpaper gallery

Looking at your gallery FV, I will be leaving it to others to upstage you 😛

Hah… dunno about that… that purple field and the second Sydney pic are going to be on my wallpaper rotation!

Incidentally, is that field a specific location? That looks like all lavender or something, it’s just amazing.

Because anything in HDR can be taken (there is no theme), it should be an annual event. I’m not great at it, but I love doing it!

1. Take Original Photo
2. Create Two “Wallpapers” – one 4:3, one 16:10. if you have enough megapixels/good quality prints to scan, I recommend making the 4:3 at 1600×1200, and the 16:10 at 1920×1200.
3. Turn…Read more

Sorry guys, I wondered about it, too, but I figured the photos themselves were not altered… I know what you’re saying though. That’s what I get for trying to crossover from Photoshop contests! 🙂 I don’t take many pictures anyway. One deleted post in almost six years isn’t bad!

To be really really really clear, I love the photo as a…Read more

I have 3 pictures all lined up from Vancouver (my hometown and a place I consider the best city in the world~~)… but one of my pictures is very dark. I love it as it is, but I’m not convinced that the fark background colour of “blinding…Read more

Variety is the spice of life… it’s that “pushing of the boundary” that often produces the best images.

There’s some really nice pictures and natural lights… but unless some of these farktographers are claiming that they somehow created the sun/other natural lights and creatively applied them to their scene, it…Read more

I might sneak it in there yet… still have 3-4 minutes to decide 😛

It’s a seriously close call… I’d say 51% no 49% yes… but slightly in the “no” direction.

I dunno though, i’m not a judge… just my…Read more

Can I ask, as a newbie, a little about the “cliches and fads” that would garner votes? I am participating to better my skill, and I do not want to get votes cheaply. I would like to avoid “cheap votes”. I have noticed a few posts in previous threads and this one that seem…Read more

XenPixI… love…your…lens! I’m going to HongKong again in november, I think I can wait until then. HK prices are about 30% cheaper than North American… I got my 18-200 Tamron for ~180$ in HK, it, at the time, was about 260ish USD.
