i know Burnt Toast & Jam……..

i’m pretty sure that is generally when veruca ‘calls it’ – sometime between 10 pm and midnight EST. but with the new fanciness and the automatic trickery, the FSM and (I think) this site update until the contest is archived. i think. maybe.

[monkeybort]

the contest seems to be refreshing ok, i haven’t looked at the main page at all though.

link to tonight’s contest.

hope you feel better soon elsinore!

i like the first one better – the contrast between the middle part (sorry, i’m not up on the flower lingo :P) and the petals makes it more interesting, IMHO

[monkeybort]

ask and ye shall receive – another example of the x-process effect i was going for –

orig:

processed:

[monkeybort]

not harsh, love the critique. this was the first one i did – cropped for the orig. shot and then actually did the cross effect on a different image w/out cropping (i’m assuming the neg. space comment is regarding the processed one?) – sorry for any confusion but they are two different (yet similar other than the crop) images.

[monkeybort]

what do you guys think about what i’ve submitted to the pool here for flower power? i’ve been playing around with cross processing effects and i really like the way they came out with the images i like for tomorrow’s contest, but am unsure what the final ruling would be.

all effects/curves/levels/etc. were applied to the entire image evenly.

before:

and after:

my reasoning is that if i had shot these on slide film, got them processed in c-41 and scanned the negs the results would be the same – so why disallow something that can be done in camera with film? for me it’s on par with converting something to black and white that was shot digitally.

any thoughts? i won’t be heartbroken if the majority is no, just wondering what y’all think. 🙂

i’ve also posted this in the flickr farktog group….sorry for those of you that are seeing it twice!

[monkeybort]

erm, i think you’re doing fine. great, even. I took about 400 pics at a party last weekend and hardly got any that were worth anything. you’ve got to deal with crowds, crappy lighting, drunkenness (both yours and the others)….it’s a lot of obstacles.

you guys are so lucky that you have fark parties so often – stupid wyoming with its no people.

mkrieger – looks like it should be going to snug tight if maxnmike is sure he wants to wait until the end.

[monkeybort]

maxnmike – sign up on the frappr map (link above) – i think we still have some shots unspoken for on this one! where in the country are you?

[monkeybort]

snug tight – just send mkrieger an email with your address/mailing info and he should get it sent out to you when he’s done! post here when you’re done with it and we’ll figure out where it should go next.

[monkeybort]

hmmm….forgot about that. shoot. maybe have them pose with republicans? that’ll scare ’em.

[monkeybort]

yes, lots of stapler pr0n, please!

as for what to do about threats, i say make sure you have enough compromising pics of everyone where they live in constant terror of what you may do with them.
