    Oh feck, my picture was going to be of MLB pitchers.

    Well, there’s no visible heat generated by a pitch….However, if you’re aiming to shoot the hottest arm in MLB, look no further than Joel “Zoom-Zoom” Zumaya, of my Detroit Tigers….He was clocked, during a MLB game, at 104.8mph….During a spring training game against the Yankees, the speedgun reported one of his pitches at 107mph….The 104.8mph pitch should be the new record, but somehow it’s not “official” yet.
    🙄

    WHAT?!! I had no idea Zumaya could throw that hard… wow… I didn’t know we had our own Rob Dibble in D-town… that’s awesome!

    StaplerMofo: You scare me. LoL

    I can’t say enough about how pleasing this contest has been to me.. aside from my own performance, lol… I really really like almost all the shots… many are, to me, really outstanding. I need to go vote, but it’s gonna take me a while cause I’ve got a lot of clicking to do!!!

    Sweet.. thanks for the help! I have GIMP, but I really haven’t used it all that much because of the 3 windows that it opens in… (which seems very strange to me) I think I should beable to manage with photoshop.. actually, my favorite resizing program is PAINT… I think I probably have a lot of quality loss, but for the ‘display’ image, it doesn’t matter… I always link to the bigger image (when I remember).

    Again, thanks for the helps.

    Thanks.. Does anyone have an “optimal” size that they usually go with?

    Tripods aren’t really the place to cheap out.

    Thom Hogan agrees with you. And I agree with him.

    1. Most importantly, use a remote release or, if you don’t have one, a self-timer. A really sturdy setup can handle the vibration of pressing the shutter release, but a flimsy one won’t. Set it up, and keep well away from touching any part of the tripod during the exposure

    OY!!! I didn’t think of that… thanks for the idea.. I have a 2 second timer, and I was all bummed out becuase I had no way to remotely expose the picture… I can’t wait to try this. 😀

    I agree with the blind voting… once a favorite is established, it seems like people often vote for the leader… then again, what came first, the chicken or the egg..

    Cool contest… there’s some junkers (mine hehe) and some really cool ones… U-man’s kid is funny…. the ski lift is cool.. there’s one of the st. louis arch that I really like…. cardoc’s lightening is awesome… the calgary tower made me pee my pants.. I love simdan’s shot with the yellow roads… (how’d he do that?!!?) Sumida Sublight has one of my favs… thing makes me a bit dizzy… Idle_hands had some good ones too.. bridge to nowhere, and that one with the smoke stack where he copied me but did it waaay better. 😀

    Great job everyone!

    I’ve got 10 total votes so far, so color me geeked.

    I like that pic u-man… that is a heck of a distance when you want a cookie!!!! LoL!!

    YOu are right elsinore… I didn’t think that far into my example.. it was just meant to illustrate my point… but yeah, the subject was not in the distance… darn aperture setting. 😀

    I had a chance to stop by a place where I knew an old flatbed truck was rotting away, so I took some photos… nothing special since I had missed the contest, I just wanted some snap shots. Anyways, here’s 2…. Had I been entering the contest, I would have braved the pucker-brush all around the truck, but since I had missed the contest, I wasn’t going to get poked with thorns a million times. 😀
