ParticipantNice job! I like pic #2 with the stuffed animals.
My wife has been working on this( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3303/3308148140_db3d0a6ce6_b.jpg )using lots of small leftover yarn pieces, off and on for the past year.
ParticipantOpens fine for me.
ParticipantNo idea what that problem is. I usually process mine from RAW files though. Seems to give better results.
ParticipantNeat! Congrats!
ParticipantMy self portraits will need no explanation…
yea right…will you be wearing leather chaps and a studded dog collar? that could be bad assed 😉
Yikes!! That would definitely be a “bad ass”!!
ParticipantMy self portraits will need no explanation…
yea right…ParticipantYea, I only have shots of my pug running and my grandson chasing him.
Hoped for more but at this point I don’t see it happening.
ParticipantQuestion, does it have to be my geekness or can it be a photo of my wife being a dork?
ParticipantUgh! Apparently I am much more badass than geek.
I can’t come up with anything other than cameras.
ParticipantMy birthday cake is getting dissed! On my birthday no less!!!
Whats wrong with you people!!!! Worship me on MY day!!!!
I thought your birthday was yesterday and ended as soon as voting started. Meaning we’re off the hook. 😀
Shit….. nevermind
ParticipantOnly 3 thus far on the one missing all words ‘Fark’ from the webpage. Does nobody get it, or is the composition so terrible that it’s just not getting votes?
And how does the missing 8 ball on page 3 get more votes than my missing 8 ball on page 1?
Sour grapes, I know; but I really tried to be creative here and am disappointed to have fared so poorly. I’d expected a much better response.
Farktography is a fickle lady. The best I can say is that there is no point in sweating votes, finishes, etc. It is showing that you are putting thought and effort into your entries. So nice work so far. It sounds pretty lame but if you can just enjoy what you enter and not sweat the results you will have a lot more fun here, and probably even end up faring better also. It’s just how it works.
If it helps, I really bombed two of my entries this week. Ya never know.

(all rantings should be taken with a grain of salt!)
ParticipantJust to toss my two cents in. By definition photography is: the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (as film or a CCD chip) A scanner has all the elements of a camera, particularly a digital camera, light, lens, a CCD, and the toner produces the image not unlike, say, a Polaroid Instant. The image is produced by multiple exposures compiled by software into a recognizable image. So by technical definition, an image created on a scanner would be photography.
Now the line between the camera and the computer is so completely blurred that for all intents and purposes it does not exist. I could, I think, make a convincing argument that HDR and stitching are valid entries in the contests as well. (Not that I am, here). If the photo fits the context of the contest and was created utilizing the modern equivalent of a camera, then go for it. In this case the intent was to create an original work of art, not a copy of some created in another medium and transferred to pixel via technology, utilizing light and a light sensitive medium, directed through a lens to form a coherent image.
(Before I went digital, my answer to this question would be the opposite of the above. The Digital Darkroom Revolution has changed much.)
I was just going to say something similar. A digital camera sensor is actually millions of little sensors taking millions of little images that are then arranged by software into a recognizable form. Basically the same principle as a scanner. (in theory anyway). If Z E had used the scanner to copy someone else’s photo I would cry foul as that would be against the spirit of the rules , however using the scanner as the camera to “photograph” an object, in this case a blank paper, is an acceptable use to me.
ParticipantIt’s thinking outside the box! I don’t really have a problem with it.
ParticipantYeah, a lot of the time, 1/500 is going to be too fast to get any panning effect (you’d have to be quite close to something moving at significant speed). But by the same token 1/4 is slow enough to be tricky to get decent results with (not impossible, but requiring some practice). You probably want to start somewhere closer to 1/30 – 1/60 to get decent results with a fair degree of repeatability. But that also means finding a situation where that’s giving you the right amount of movement – you’d probably need to get closer to the planes than a mile to get a real panning effect at that shutter speed.
yea I added 1 too many zeros there… You really need to experiment with shutter speed. 1/500 will work on a race car going 100mph. 1/50 – 1/125 is best depending on speed of subject and focal length.
ParticipantFor panning you really want to use a faster shutter speed. 1/50 or better, depending how fast the subject is moving.Follow your subject with the camera and shoot. The goal is to get the moving object clear and focused and a blurry background. Your better off shooting in Tv mode(shutter priority). Also using servo mode for your focus.
