but yes, far above that is the challenge, the learning, and the chance to do something different and share it every week. 🙂 i learn as much from other people’s success as from my own. and learning is really what makes this fun for me. 😀

What makes it fun for me is stupidly doing the same stupid thing every single time. I ignore as much of my own failure and success as I ignore others’.

That’s all part of the diversity that makes farktography so great.

there was a time when my shots resonated with the voters but that time has faded into antiquity. due in no small part to stiff competition and my shots lacking a certain artistic flair.

Yeah, I have some of the same feeling here.
Looking at the FSM histogram it is pretty obvious that I have ended my slow upward trend.

Woo Hoo!
I’m a trend setter!

Pretty soon you guys will join me having quarterly life crises and prattling on about nearly defunct foreign pop groups no one has cared about in any country for a decade!

you can’t be much more than a 1/3 stop off in either direction.

Yow. Sers.
Regular old ISO 400, negative film it is.

I feel a bit better about all those crappy shots I took now.

I’m planning on using a couple cameras for a couple uses.

Since I’m driving, I was planning on stopping by a couple national parks (Badlands, Redwood, Yosemite, etc), then doing a couple indoor shots. Nothing super fancy, just the regular tourist stuff.
There’s no way they’d allow photography during the concert, so any indoor shots would be mostly of the “hehehe, look at that jackass in a costume” type.

I’ll be using a crappy modern SLR with fancy lenses and a flash, two old manual SLRs with moderately fancy lenses (my plan was different film in each, one has a meter), and a POS, really old, medium format TLR.

So, Kodak 400? Sounds straight forward, thanks.

I was going to go here to get it developed. Their ugly website tells me they’re hardcore. That’s really all I’m going on.

I would have done an egg timer on a nightstand with a opened condom wrapper, but I don’t have an egg timer.

/I’m a bit delayed in some areas.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you need to know.
As a guy, you may never grow boobs.

I wonder how many other people are going to post their wangs against a ruler.

I’ll try flying my Kodak z1285 on a kite this weekend (weather permitting) and let you know how it works out.

[staplermofo]

Nope, but oh how I tried.

[staplermofo]

Can you do bubbles like this next?

[staplermofo]

In my defense, I would like to stress that it’s just as shiny as I hoped.

[staplermofo]

Getting not crappy results is turning out to be a lot harder than I expected. I even started a full minute early this time too, the 2nd to last minute.

[staplermofo]

That’s just horrible.

[staplermofo]

Does that fit this contest?

Are we going to have a guide on what’s photoshop friendly again?
