I have one shot, it’s an archive dive from my Africa trip. I haven’t had time or motivation to shoot anything else for this one.

Pope Larry II – lovin the Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia shot. (along with many many others already posted). Would have probably healed out that one dark spec though (bird, dust, ??)

Thanks. I didn’t even notice that. I’m going to say it’s a bird, or maybe a plane….

I generally don’t don’t do any ‘shopping to my shots, I’m not very good at it.

I had a lot of fun playing around with Microsoft ICE, I may try more just for fun.

Stitching can be linear like yours, Pope, or less so (frames all over the place; up, down, taken at different angles; ICE is usually very good at putting them together properly!!)

Nice stitch, btw. I love urban art.

Thanks, I love urban art too. Luckily there is a very long alley way for it in Toronto. And since the mayor started cracking down on it, more people have ‘commissioned’ graffiti art as a way to stop tagging.

As for ICE, I have has some very interesting results from it. Some I kept, some I did not.

I was out shooting this morning for this contest, I think I have 3 entries, we’ll see. But I assume this is what you’re looking for:

Graffiti Alley by Craig in TO, on Flickr

it’s an 8 shot composite using Microsoft ICE (as suggested upthread)

(It’s the same graffiti I used in Urban Art, but not the same file)

[Pope_Larry_II]

Thanks everyone.

CISS, I liked that shot more too. I chalk it up to Fark voters liking what they like.

U-Man, I thought for sure your pumpkin would win. I really liked it.

Having never shot in the rain, nor contemplated taking the camera out in the rain, can I have a pic of your set up for reference?

This is pretty close to what I do:

Take a plastic bag. Put a hole in the bottom slightly smaller than your lens will fit through, and stretch that hole over the lens. Rubber-band it in place.

I kept a pair of these in my bag for several years, but they finally wore out and I didn’t see the value in replacing them.

Cool, thanks.

I, for one, welcome our new Frankenstorm Overlords.

/Seriously, all I am doing is getting wet weather gear ready for the camera. Plastic bag and rubber band, high tech shiat!

It’s raining in Toronto too… we may get the tail end of the Frankenstorm too, just in time for Hallowe’en.

So how important is it to be certain that it was a 5 second exposure? I have a bunch of stuff like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/guine/6513228795/ that I dont remember the shutter speed for and the computer that has the original with the exif data is on the opposite side of the country from me.

I think it fits the spirit of the theme. Unless someone with more technical expertise than I can determine the exposure time, I say let it ride….

[Pope_Larry_II]

I dawdled on this one, was pretty sure I wasn’t going to enter because taking blurry photographs was kind of the antithesis of what I attempt to do. Then I shot some stuff this afternoon and saw what Pope Larry was thinking, now I am much more enthused!

I`ll let you in on a secret, I had no idea what I was getting into when I suggested this theme. I had no planned shots, nothing, just an idea that came out of taking a bunch of night time shots.

I really hope this works out.

[Pope_Larry_II]

Yeah, I kinda figured I’d be in the minority. My opinion most often is (those emails I get stating otherwise are lies). I’ll have pics, anyways.

Sad; Halloween used to be my favorite holiday.

//carry on then.

I have to admit that I don’t really enjoy Halloween either. I guess being an adult with no kids takes most of the fun out of it.

[Pope_Larry_II]

Dam it, I spent two hours yesterday shooting the Zombie Walk. I have enough Zombie T&A to start a website….

[Pope_Larry_II]

Gotta admit, I was thinking about mounting on a tripod, then hand-holding it aloft and *spin*. But yeah, I get that might not be kosher.

I would think that if the tripod or monopod were hand held and not touching a solid surface it would be within the spirit of the theme.

I think I’d be interested in the results, so yeah, it’s good.

So, anyone care to guess the age of the post office based on its architectural style? My guess is mid ’60s, but I have the unfair advantage of knowing that Ft. Bliss was a large basic training base in the ’60s.

I’d need a picture to tell……

[edit]

I should really check the contest before I make smart ass remarks.

Yoyo, most likely the building is late 50’s early 60’s, based on the photo in the contest. Looking at the linked photo, yep. late 50’s. It’s in the Modern style, clean lines, concrete blocks. It’s a very nice building.

Well, I should have gone back and reread the theme description before now! I thought it had to be concrete blocks, so I’m running around town looking for buildings, walls, anything that is made of concrete blocks. Lesson learned. Reread!!!!!!!

Who says concrete blocks can’t be beautiful.

I did not say they could not be beautiful, just somewhat limited! Actually, I found an old part of town that I want to go back to because there are some interesting possibilities for other themes, so all was not lost.

Yeah, I’ll agree with you on that. Like I said I did restoration for a few years, so I have a different view of building materials. I can go on and on about it, just as my wife…..
