I’ll be sitting this one out. Will keep the project on my ‘wish’ list, though, as I have 1/2 the parts. But I refuse to buy a new scanner for the project; until I can get one for cheap, not happening. 🙁

U-Man, it’s fantastic. I’d ask how it was achieved, but I know how to prod a kitten and the lighting setup comes out in the reflections of Maisy’s eyes. The rest is a stunning display of skills in chosing aperture, exposure, and lens for the wanted perspective.

And we all know you do that in spades all the time. But it’s SUCH a noteworthy photo. Completely publishable–thumb through one of them Cat Fancy rags and see if they have a monthly contest for $. I bet you’d win.

Ya’ll watch out for Puddytats III–“Revenge of the Hittthh!” I’m thinking allowing the farktographers caption rights; links to blanks for the Caturday people. And Blert’s neighbor buddies moved away; he needs a new playmate, and I need a new close-up subject. And some lights. And a white background. And…

I digress.

Sometimes the voting goes on up to 7 am MST; maybe if Else is on the East coast it can be removed?

And there goes that U-man fellow, hogging up the top spots again!!

I keed. I’m glad the kitten on the white background moved into third; it’s my favorite in the contest overall. Shoulda been 1st in my eyes.

Thanks, there is a placed called Graffiti Alley in Toronto, it’s about 3 blocks long and filled with really good graffiti. Unfortunately the current mayor is trying to paint over it, with limited success.

My plan is to take the 36 waking hours of the 72 I away from work, and re-shooting a bunch of pictures I’ve take with this contest in mind. If I can better them–+1. If not, I go with what I have. At least it’s all local.

I’m having trouble narrowing down my selections for this contest. I’m looking for a second opinion.

so far I’m leaning towards the banksy, the cards and the last one (called running for mayor), although I like the dog walking one, the ‘punk rock’ tape and the chess pieces also.

Wow–we don’t have ANY graffiti of this caliber in Az. I liked Chess, Robbin’ Banksy, and Stevie Wonder myself.

I’d just like to say I like what the Caturday’ers are doing with our pics. Esp. my own (but I’m biased). Zucchini Lentil Casserole, lol! I’ll be off tomorrow morning from work and will join in on the festivities then.

Though I’m not in this one, I thought y’all might like to see how it’s trending:

Looking good. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it surpass 3000 votes by contest end.

Came for the statistics, did not leave disappointed. Thanks, CISS!

Elsinore, can you envotenate my first image (first in the thread–been a long time since I was that quick with the posting–but at the cost of the envotenate button!)

I ken haz fix-ed?

//and damn–no captions about killed me.

[ravnostic]

Should we provide links to bigger pics for the PSers or do they have the same size constraints?

Stay safe, Els and everyone else in the storm areas!

All pictures have the same size requirements so I don’t think theres any need or advantage for having larger versions just for caturday.

Actually, I’d think having the larger one would allow for bettar photoshopping opportunities; those who do them know how to resize after.

//not posting any ‘b’s. I like all the shots I had to choose from and had the devil of a time deciding; don’t want to muddy the issue now and make me waiver in my decisions.

[ravnostic]

Discussing captions with cat photos reminded me of this email I got a while back. Still cracks me up.

That’s from THIS GUY. The rest of his stuff will make you laugh just as hard.

Those are hysterically funnay. “Foggot”. I lol’d, and hard.

[ravnostic]

Okay, so the phalange shot? Cute…little big alien eyes…interest, the beginnings of awareness…+1.

The next one? *WIN* for whatever contest you deem fit to enter it. That shot is on the money for a lot of good reasons. I’d say ‘cute kid’, but in this one, she’s righteous pissed. 🙂

//edit: nope. not wrong.

[ravnostic]

Do we need to specify that we would like/would not like our pictures in the Caturday thread?

[ravnostic]

I need a SFW call on Kitty hrbls?

The exact shot is slightly different but essentially the same.

Okay, so…ummmm, who’s up for trying for 2nd place? Because if that picture goes live, the contest is over. And if not–then I can’t wait to see the picture that beats it.

I have 36 hours to wade through the 100 or so potentials. But I have nothing to compete with those kahonays.

Never rule out cuteness over teh Funnay! And of course there is whole cruelty issue of actually DOING such an awful thing. And, I cannot address WHERE this photo came from without risking all sorts of trouble 🙂

There’s going to be cuteness in spades. Picking the ‘right’ cuteness shot for catching the voters’ whim will be a crap shot, at best (I believe–though I do have my entry). The funnay, I’ll bet, wins out. And I supposed it was one of those hairless feline beasts, no?

[ravnostic]

Want.

First time I said that about a P/S in a long time. Great marketing video.

//the boom guy was cute. Just sayin’.
