Sorry, man , I work nights and like to tinker.

*Taps FSM smartly on top of the cabinet*. Hmmmmmm.

Is this thing on?

[SilverStag]

So far, I have one for this contest that I *really* like; so much that I’m having it printed 20×30.

I’m not sure the ratios even change that much: we train ourselves to see more and probably we shoot more; so we end up with more keepers that way. I think the quality of our keepers improves with time.

Heh, Curious, I thought I was the only one around here that remembered that trick.

It’s fun sometimes to deliberately get the WB ‘wrong’: see here for a recent example from my playtime last week.

i ALWAYS forget about ISO until halfway through the party/concert/bonfire/other darkish atmosphere.

Remember WIFE:

White Balance
ISO
F/Stop
Exposure Compensation

That’s my mental checklist to try and avoid oopsies.

My reading is that almost anything that’s multiple plants in the ground would be included. I’m going to shoot some Hosta beds along the Indy canal walk.

A couple of my entries use a flashlight- no need to spend lots of moola…

[SilverStag]

Yessiree!

[SilverStag]

Gee, that’s certainly a vicious-looking creature 🙂

Here is is – two weeks later – and it’s that time again. Poor mods!

I agree on the assloads of talent, but I tend to think of it in terms of Imperial assloads rather than metric assloads.

I’d really like to find out what sort of image makes for a good PS contest ‘O’… I agree that the run -of-the-mill arthouse stuff is probably not what someone like YSV or lukket looks for, but agree that it might be good to get some sort of idea as to what they do need.

You’ve got an eye for composition, Uranus. Don’t be too hard on yourself; some of us have been doing this for 35 years or more. It *will* come. It took me a looong time –years– before I felt confident enough to enter a contest.

The ‘scene’ modes on that e-500 caused me to eject soda from my nose.

[SilverStag]

Looks like things are back to normal…thanks schnee!
