it’s been a hell of a year, but farktography has helped sooooo much.

Thought I’d throw in links for the 3 I wanted to put in:

I think they’re all different enough to warrant, but I could be wrong. These are the small versions to put in, I have biggening ones ready to go. Thanks.

the rule is just that they have to be different photographs. it’s up to you to decide if you want to submit shots that are very similar to other shots. those are cute!

i feel good in my heart about what i submitted, even if i don’t get the votes.

/but after the last two weeks i wouldn’t say no to the votes!!!!! 😉

Yes, the PS thread does say to take a moment and vote for pics you like/use. I think the fact that it’s a theme-less theme could be affecting votes. People may not know what they “should” vote for. I will say, though, that the pictures at the top of the heap kick ass, so at least there’s that 😉

but was there any mention about hunting them down and killing them if they didn’t? heeheehee

[justkat]

serious question here: have the ‘shoppers been reminded to vote?

first place only has 29 votes; it doesn’t seem like this should be a low voting contest when we should be getting more traffic than usual. or am i missing something?

[justkat]

i agree, cute lizard. 🙂

[justkat]

I don’t understand. Because you saw it, I can’t take it out OR because you saw it you think the PS’ers can do something with it?

sorry, mopsy… my husband really shouldn’t be allowed out unattended… 😛

[justkat]

what i’m really saying is F the stats. they’re nice and it’s great that schnee is good enough to maintain the FSM but having a place to regularly show off your photos and a weekly challenge is what this is all about. and i think from your comments elsewhere that you know that. plus there is the bonus of having an excuse to upgrade your camera/lens to better get that winning shot. because it’s all about the stats, right?

well when i talk about stats, i really am concerned first with my own stats, rather than comparing myself to someone else. if my votes/entry increases, that makes me feel good, ya know? makes me feel like i’m improving and i honestly think i am. so a week like this — where i honestly think my photos didn’t completely suck and it had more to do with just a low total voting number — screws up my own personal tracking of my progress. you see? 😉

but yes, far above that is the challenge, the learning, and the chance to do something different and share it every week. 🙂 i learn as much from other people’s success as from my own. and learning is really what makes this fun for me. 😀

[justkat]

congrats you guys, but holy cow, this was a stat killer! did all the voters get killed or go on vacation or get thrown in jail? (it’s fark, last item most likely of the lot… 😛 )

//The big red button is actually a little black switch in the top left corner

you mean it’s not a shiny candy-like button? 😉

[justkat]

if people knew how good that tomato tasted maybe they’d give it more votes. or maybe they just don’t know that 10.5 inch tall tomato plants aren’t supposed to be putting out 4 oz ripe tomatos at all, much less in june. lmao. what? tomatos don’t grow in bins in the produce section all year round?

[justkat]

Oh yeah? Well you’ve got the translucent rulers of awesomeness, so there!

I think I made the right choice, but does anybody like this version better?

How about this old CAT gauge instead of the farm gauge?

http://photos.imageevent.com/ulle17/fark/Gauge_1322.jpg

i kinda like that CAT gauge, but only, i think, because i’m kind of getting into the color orange lately. 😉

as for the rulers, i think you made the right choice. the other picture is totally awesome, but i think it too special-effect-y for my taste in farktography. just my taste, i say. 🙂

[justkat]

i suspect my overachieving tomato trifecta is going to be too subtle (read: uninteresting 😉 ) for most voters. *I* thought it was cute. and used at least one tool of measurement that i think will be unique to the contest. 🙂

[justkat]

Interesting – apparrently people were quite interested in comparing a modified photo to the original. Usually my flickr viewing stats show a bit of a spike on Thursdays from contest viewers, but this week it’s huge, and most of them were from people clicking the link to the unmodded original version of my photo. I thought that seemed like a natural thing to add to the post, but it looks like almost no one else decided to do it.

didn’t even occur to me.

it occurred to me, but the originals mostly weren’t all that interesting by themselves… at least compared to the tilted ones. 😉

I’m learning tons so I’m having a blast and will keep entering.

that’s a great attitude and it’s exactly how i feel about farktography. 😀 i’ve learned sooooooo much and even though i know — sometimes i am harshly reminded! — i have a LOT more to learn, it is just wonderful. i’m glad you’re here to stay!
