Can someone check for me?

Thanks for participating, folks!

So, in the world of farktography, scanning as a means of turning film into ones and zeroes is absolutely kosher. Dititization by means of a slide duplicating rig attached to your DSLR has been mentioned as kosher, though AFAIK, never been used.

I’ve done that lots of times… a number of my entries have been slides or negatives that I duped in a…Read more

In other news, Silverstag, I think this one should be yours:

Yes, I like that one a lot.

Come on guys, let’s see your choices!

I’m glad to see this get some traction!

It comes down to the picking. If we choose personal favorites, that’s easier (although I’d have a hard time pickin from all my chilluns :), but I’d like to see a way to upvote/select others’ work.

How about the Farktographer picks three from their portfolio and posts them, the community then picks the…

OK, how do we decide ‘most famous’?

I was thinking our best vote getter or just our personal favorite to open it up more for the casual types. Or if you actually have a “famous” picture ala one that has been published if it’s legal.

It seems to me that the highest vote getter may be a nonstarter in the sense that the voting level isn’t even…Read more

I saw this earlier and wanted to post it, but had to go out. I thought it was a fascinating study. Maybe we should do something like that here.

I’m game. are we talking our best vote getter or just our personal favorite? you suggest it and I will up vote it for sure either way. The pictures are really cool in that way of showing the…

kudos!

I’ll be on the road, looks like.

Thanks

SilverStag, as much as I’d like to have something positive come out of that situation (even if it’s only votes in a photo contest), and as much as I’m digging those pants :), I’m guessing those ladies are more domesticated than feral….

You didn’t spend the night with them.

You don’t do anything 1/2 assed do you SilverStag?

Nope, I’m pretty much all in, all the time.

Driving back home from an overnight stay in Valparaiso, IN, I felt a sort of itchy area on the right side of my neck. I didn’t think much of it, except that the next morning, I woke up with the right side of my neck looking like I was half-Cardassian. Overnight, it started to really…Read more

You’re our fresh meat at the deli counter.

//not that there’s anything wrong with that….

I guess that means I’m last month’s salami…
😀

When you look at “All” of your entries, it would be convenient to have them displayed as a gigantic dump of thumbnails, to maximize the number of photos displayed on a page.

My reasoning? When I look at “All”, I’m really just trying to determine if I’ve used a particular photo in a contest before. I don’t need to…Read more

Escalators- fine for either mode of operation.

Except that Vimeo won’t frickin’ work on Firefox, so it’s useless to me.

It’ll work if you turn off AdBlock Plus and NoScript. There’s a couple more layers to it than YouTube, but it’s viewable.

I don’t want to see it *that* much.

Just popping in to ask silverstag the same question clouddancer and orionid asked. To clarify for my purposes: Do ‘steps’ need to be intended for humans, or on the human-sized scale?

Well, “Heaven” is a human, if somewhat abstract comment. I was thinking of steps that people use, yes.

It’s been 35 years since I used a rangefinder camera.

You’re not suggesting that it has anything as sophisticated as a rangefinder on it? I don’t even know if the scale focusing mechanism they do have really does much…

It’s supposed to focus? Oh, crap.

Any tips from those who’ve already used it?

Congrats to ravnostic this week!

No kidding, Well done, my friend, well done.

I *felt* this one. by pjern, on Flickr

That’s #9….

And it’ll be hitting us in the next hour…SilverStag is dealing with this stuff too. Hope he’s safe as well.

So far, so good: we dodged the first round earlier today, but what’s coming in on the radar looks like the Wall of Doom. They’re saying they had a 90 MPH gust near Terre Haute.

I’m charging the camera, iphone, amd laptop batteries up…Read more
