How about a “parts are encouraged but not required” clause?

[fluffybunny]

I like the “parts” part, it’s what I shot (am shooting) for, either way ya’ll go with it.

I like Farktography because it forces me to reexamine my photos.

I dislike Farktography because I don’t have time to go out and shoot photos specifically for it. Er, maybe that should be I dislike my job because it doesn’t afford me the time to go out and take photos, and Farktography reminds me of this.

I suspect many of us are in this position timewise. I was tempted to be frustrated by it, but I remind myself that I am in this for fun.

In the current contest, my photograph “To Kill A Mockingbird” is of a fully restored turn of the previous century courtroom “in the next town over” from me. While it’s not getting many votes, it was my favorite of the bunch (apparently that is the way voting works). I was late getting there with the intent of shooting the outside of the building in sunset, so no go. I started using the exterior lighting anyways and a lady walked by and asked me if I wanted to photograph inside. In my previous life I would have been frustrated that I didn’t get there on time or not gone at all. Had it worked out my way, I would have never made it inside.

Hmmm….. I stand corrected. Unless he has a 10-200mm tilt-shift lens fitted for Nikon AI and AF-S. Even in the event such a lens existed, one would likely not be using a $5000 lens on a D40. Also, some of his other “tilt-shifts” are not so well disguised. knew I should have brought up the exif before giving my opinion earlier.

Yugoboy: You’ll have to just imagine me doing the you-were-right-I-was-wrong dance, since my laptop probably wouldn’t take to kindly to me jumping on the keyboard.

I did not look at the details closely enough either, getting ready for night shift, no time. I just trusted that the page label was truthful. Last time I trust the internet.

To me, this is an example of the best thing that can happen to a photographer. To be in the right place, at the right time – and to not mess it up too badly. Jeff Engelhardt

Why doesn’t this happen to me?

And then there’s Mauna Kea’s shadow. As cast on the sky.

Just when I thought I’d seen it all. Impressive.

/Must have been akin to the experience an astronauts have as they view Mother Earth.

Hey Farktog, like the pub shots. What did you mean by “used my external flash properly”, as some one who struggles with flash photography I am curious.

[fluffybunny]

I think these are fairly heavily ‘shooped. The colours he’s getting just don’t seem realistic, even with great glass and equipment. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong – I’d love to be able to take shots like this, but seems in-camera star trails always end up being mostly white, even if you’re incorporating sunset or sunrise.

Kind of what I was thinking, but I am certainly no expert. Perhaps they are “wavelength enhanced”.

So we’re all on the same page, right?

Right. And cars are alive, right?

They consume, they excrete, they are mobile, modern ones even have brains that think

They still don’t reproduce though.

wanna bet?

Until I see little Smart cars waddling away, it didn’t happen.

How many nested quotes can we get?

At some point they’ll collapse in on themselves and form a black quote hole.

I wanna see that in a twisted kinda way 😈

A hole from which no substance can escape.

Past the point of no return.

Would it help if we divided by zero?

do
{
quote(last_post);
}
while (true);

I’m dizzy now…thanks!

Just wait until Elsinore gets back.

So will the forum engine start line wrapping the earlier ones at some point?

Wheres my black quote hole?

Improbability passing 10,000 to 1. Passing 100,000 to 1. Passing 1,000,000 to 1. Approaching infinite improbability. Standby.

You know, it kind has that Mayan temple thing goin’ on now. Xtapolopacetl is pleased.

U-Man‘s original post is getting narrower, but not as quickly as I might have thought. Perhaps there’s a quantum effect in force.

Keep going, guys! I think if we compress the first quote enough, we might be able to finally discover the Higgs-Boson.

Oh good Lord.

/still playing along

I must get in on this experiment

Well it would seem we are definitely all on the same page now! Question answered U-Man

Woohoo! U-Man’s text shrank.

I wonder if the next nested quote shrinks too.

I wonder what this stepped pyramid looks like in side-elevation…

Are you mad? The human mind can’t cope with that kind of horror!!!

Hope mrgreen doesn’t break the thread!

This is too funny!

I’d say so, but I’m easily amused.

Simple things for simple minds?

Man, this is still going on,… Shouldn’t you people be out photographing something?

We are approaching the point not even light can escape!

I say we keep moving forward, beyond the event horizon

OK, serious question, though I am keeping the compression going: Can the part of the triptych be non-living? Lemme esplain…no, there is too much, let me sum up, My idea is a triptych close up on one hand fretting/playing guitar, the middle panel of the just the neck and strings no hands and the final trip being the fingers picking/strumming. Does this the inclusion of the center panel without organic matter rule this idea out?

I think you’d better post the question separately, because it’s gonna get buried in the hourglass thingy. 🙂

IMO, if the “subject” of the overall triptych is the guitar, and the hands are just an accessory, then it’s not valid.

*Edit to say: this hourglass should be the standard format of our forums from now on.

{Cheech voice} wow, this is a fuckin’ trip, man. 8)

My bad. =D
Although, I really don’t feel so bad. It’s great! It’s awesome! Would do business again!

Heh, U-Man’s post got bigger & bolder with your post! 😆

Wow, that is some funky equation of state for forum quotes. When you compress them, they get bigger.

So has anybody played with the time domain for this thing? Go to page 7 (or any page where the pyramid constitutes most of the posts) and scroll up or down rapidly (I hold on to the scroll bar to do it best). Warning, not for epileptics, pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, people with heat disease or back injuries.
