I used qtpfsgui to do this.

I’d love to see Gallery include a “similar image” search function. Given a candidate image (e.g. “albatross flying in the sky”), find images that look like it (e.g. “airplanes flying in the sky”). Go take a look at Pixit. But I’m weird and have a very specific use-case for that.

Provia is an awesome (and awesomely expensive) film – high ISO (for transparencies) and a really really small grain. But, it is slide film. Unless you have a well calibrated light meter (built in or otherwise), you can’t be much…Read more

Since I did not get an answer to my first question, let’s try this a different way. Can we put text on our photos like we did at Christmas?

Hi mopsy. As others have said, we often caption. I’m going to do something like that (maybe). Text on the actual image? That’s sort of a Farktography special mod, like HDR or stitching or something like…

Maybe we could consider as a furture theme to do book covers of classics or well known authors with the title on the photo. Probably the book store manager coming out in me. Thanks for giving me an answer!

That’s actually a cool idea – expand it to movies maybe? “Movie posters and book jackets”? Go propose it.

So shouldnt the graveyard one be title “Graves II: Zombie Bugaloo” or something like that.

Oh, let’s make it that! (“Boogaloo”, right?)

Literal last-minute decision to swap it out.

Tableau: Iconic images exist in every culture. Take a photograph evoking one of them.

?

That seems to work. Open ended enough, definition of “iconic” is vague, I like it.

Is it making a loud and continuous tone?

Smartass! 🙂

No, I have a “missing or corrupted hal.dll”. Hopefully an easy fix, but could be a horked harddrive.

I hearby make a motion to change “Homage” to “Tableau”, keeping the description / difficulty in the proposal thread.

Ok that’s strange, schnee. I never even saw your entries, and at first I thought you were making a joke about not entering. But I went looking for them, and something got hosed. I have no idea how, but they should be fixed now. With a vote from me, while I was at it–they’re lovely 🙂

Thanks E. I actually Farked’back as well but haven’t heard…Read more

I don’t have any votes. At all. Seems unlikely.

I can’t say that I have a lot of experience with veiwfinders, but I’ve looked through a few scopes. When you adjust the focus, make sure it’s in focus as soon as you look through it. Your eye will tend to adjust to it if it’s just slightly out of focus, so you’ll want to check that it’s sharp the instant you look through it.

That’s good advice…Read more

Thanks for posting XenPix!

the green oval contains a sensor spot – removing that would be within the rules as they now stand.

the green polygon contains a shadow (or something) which when removed would help the image. the image’s finish in the theme probably would not have changed, but the overall quality…Read more

I posted my 3 pics and then found this one and wish I had posted it…

I hear ya’ – I’d already used this one:

yeah, yeah, I hear the concerns about recreating the 35mm-threaded-in-Holga effect digitally, but… we could try it until we get a bunch of drop-shadow, torn-edge entries and then re-address.

Schnee, Super image. You have vote from me. Of course many other have vote from me, but your image make a special impact on me. Well done !!. SUPER !! I am really hope that you do well on this contest ! It really is great image !

Thanks man. When I proposed this theme, I had an image in mind, but it wasn’t the Celtic cross.

I took the cross from…Read more

This one is turning out to be harder than I thought it would be. While there are lots of big metal things around, I can’t find one that screams heavy.

I’ll keep searching and thinking.

Yeah, the heavy part is tough to illustrate.

I am around to post tonight. I will stick the comments in just as Schnee asked.

Thank you.

…have had a couple of projects going that have eaten into Farktography time.

Priorities & all that.

Priorities that are apparently all messed up…Congrats on the new job.

(*) except maybe in the upper left.

So, I’m a little confused. I have a really nice picture of a powerline tower… but I guess that doesn’t count. If you exclude those three things…. can you give me an example of another utility pole that would count?

We discussed some of this in the original thread, so you can hop over there and take a look.

Enter farktography contests and constantly pester people for advice.

He knows all about that pestering part.

While online resources (websites, forums, Farktography contests) are pretty useful, don’t discount actually hooking up with creative types in the off-line world.

I guess I’lll take that as a hint that I need to get out there shooting more often 😆

Yes, that is always good. You can also check out your portfolio.
