I think you made the right choice with the rulers U-Man. It is harder to tell what they are in the b-sided one.

/No opinion on the gauges as they seem fairly similar.

As a guy, you may never grow boobs.

So there is still a chance though???

/Wished I had of thought of measuring the sharpness of some knees earlier.

And the contest is now over! Elsinore ftw! 😛

I considered doing a boobies measurement shot, but I didn’t want to steal your guys’ penile thunder 😉

Wouldn’t be hard *snickers*

The theme is just post any photos you really like that you won’t mind if they get photoshopped later (there is our normal contest and then there will be a photoshop contest taking any photos from our contest and going nuts with them).

[swampa]

I’ll third it!

I think the Vegas image also suffer from a lack of contrast/colour. The ones that really pop in this contest seem to have at least one of those elements.

My b-sides:
Mountain bikers
Fishies!

I wish I had of used more layers on my images. I didn’t even think of doing that until corsec67 mentioned it *headslaps*.

Oh a cool video made up from tilt-shift photos.

[swampa]

The people seem fine to me too.

[swampa]

I thought people were allowed in the shots?

*goes into a panic*

[swampa]

+1 condolences here too. 🙁

I can’t think of anything else to say that hasn’t been said much more eloquently above.

I blame it on the title of the contest – maybe farkers think we were referring to them 😛

My b-side for this contest:
Himeji Castle entrance
Himeji Castle
Castle gate
Osaka Castle moat and wall
Osaka Castle
Kyoto Imperial Palace moat
Another temple gate
More monkeys!

I use Photoshop CS3 to process my RAW images and it seems to have no problem reading all the data (in Bridge it shows a heap of fields with the information about the photo in them – ISO, white balance, flash fired, lens used … blah blah blah).

If you use Photoshop I would recommend CS3+ as the RAW integration is part of the application. With version CS2 and earlier you can download a plug-in but it requires hunting down (Adobe don’t make it easy to find!). Plus the RAW processor in CS3+ has more functions in it.

I tried UFRaw on my laptop and can’t say I’m a fan of it. Now maybe I haven’t set it up right or just really used to the workflow in Photoshop but the fact that UFRaw won’t revert back to a baseline after processing an image annoys me, so each image needs to be have all the values changed as it is very unlikely that they are right for the next image.

Somewhere, buried deep (about 200 posts) in, I posted a captioned version of one of soosh’s pics (no voting though). I blame the internet for making me want to caption every animal pic I see.

I saw that and I get the same feeling too!

I want to caption tedZilla’s pelican with “what you did there, I see it!”

[swampa]

Guess I was expecting to much to hope for farkers to ponder the duality of man.

How long have you been on fark now? You should know the extent of pondering goes to whether this flavor of cheetos goes with that flavor of Mt Dew 😛

Also I think FSM is down 🙁
