Not yet, apparently.

A cool idea I had today is that the image on the front cover should have “Fark” incorporated into it, like this.
(Well, we would want one that did better than 18th place, so take something U-Man did)

Like this?

In unrelated nitpicking: Farking voters, how do they work?

If I knew that, I’d win a lot more contests. Because I wouldn’t tell anyone else 🙂

It’s not the Nikon folk, it’s their subjects!

[SilverStag]

what’s a beer lens?

You get an old lens and soak it in a pint of beer…. it gets naturally blurry. Kind of like Beer goggles for your Nikon.

Dear mods: Please envotinate everything.

Ditto!!

SilverStagLovely choices~~

orionidreally glad you used one of the beer lens shots.

Thank you! And I am also glad to see the beer lens shot. I tried to mix up my choices, to add some variety.

I’d like to posit that the themes are also getting a little too “inside baseball”, in the sense that we really seem to be trying to hard to make things tricky and sometimes a little exclusive: Running From Camera, Color Popping, any of the HDR themes, Black, White, and Grey all over as examples.

I don’t mind the idea of stretching our abilities, but I don’t think we should do it to the extent that we:

a) discourage casual participants

b) raise the difficulty level to where not everyone can participate.

I’ve become discouraged lately, thinking that there are so many rules to some of the contests, that I don’t want to have to justify an entry, and I know better. It’s a perception thing.

Put yourself in the position of someone who’s a little shy, maybe not a joiner, and looking into Farktography. Some of our contest themes lately might seem a little off-putting to someone like that.

I’m just saying.

This was the first contest ever where I felt like I might have to defend my entries. Hmmm.

Why? They fit the bill perfectly.

That topic theme bit is really, really funny!

Topic Theme Bit?

Now that it’s waaay to late, perhaps a better name for this theme might have been “Subdued Color”. It was difficult, but provided some interesting entries. I’m enjoying watching them drop into the contest.

I remembered and got in relatively early this week! yay Me!
