I am just happy to have a place to show it off 😉

A friend of mine does some work for the city of Peoria and asked if she could use this pic for a banner at a trade show. I’d get my name on it and that’s cool. No cash – but that’s OK. I just do this stuff for fun.

I did this pano before I learned about the auto-white balance on my Canon. I don’t think it jumps off of the pic, but my eye is immediately drawn to the color shifts in the sky. I smudged them in PS with some success but they’re still there. It bugs me. And if a bunch of people are going to see it (with my name on it) I’d like to make it perfect. How hard is it to color match them and then re-stitch into a pano? What is the easiest way to do it? Uuuuuh, I’m red-green color deficient. I may need to get my wife’s help.

Hey. It just hit me. No Halloween III this year?

/don’t have strong feelings one way or another.

We talked about it in a thread a few weeks ago but nobody seemed interested.

I am looking forward to this one. I am going to use my favorite shot I have ever taken in this theme!

The lack of interest is OK w/ me.

As for your second comment – CAUTION! Don’t be too married to your photo. You know how goofy Farkers can vote. 🙂

Yeah, but three weeks of funny in a row is something I’m not particularly feeling, either. Not a lot of available farmland around here. I’ll think of something.

I hear you. But we all know that you are quite capable of taking ‘real’ photos.

Not much feeling this contest.

Considering the past two weeks, folks seem to like your sense of funny. I know I appreciate it.

Fisher-Price farm stuff + fire = photo. Hmmm. Doesn’t sound funny though.

I might try a Fisher-Price farmer + Fisher-Price sheep = funny photo.

I’m, of course, a giant nerd and you should probably just ignore me and possibly point and laugh too.

/I gots one or two turtle pics I plan on using.

Unless SilverStag shoots it down…

It would be pretty hard-hearted to shoot down a butterfly.

I have a terribly tasteless photo for this one that I probably won’t use because I can find so much better…. And I like to think that on the inside, I can pretend to be a decent, upstanding, moral citizen. Just think Heiffer, one of those plastic gloves that goes up to your armpit, and the phrase “Pregnancy term check”

I was all curious after reading the first two sentences. Then, after the last sentence, not so much. 🙂

With the cooler weather, there’s not a whole lot of butterflies left around here. Maybe I can find a moth or two.

My two cents – the butterfly tattoo would work.

Just where in the hell am I going to find a farm in central Illinois? Oh wait. There’s one over there. And over there. And there. And here’s one. And there’s one right next to that one. And one right next to that one. Etc until you hit staplermofo’s stomping grounds.

I have one shot that I like. I’m sure I’ll have three.

Hey, I thought the experts decided that dinos were just big scary birds without feathers. Don’t sound much like reptiles to me. 😉

Sshhh! I just raided the 10-year-old’s room for a subject for pic #3.

[U-Man]

Thanks. While I think it’s a nice pic, I didn’t expect it to do as well as it did.

Looking forward to next weeks reptilian delights. 😛

Man, I love this theme and I screwed up and didn’t get anything new for it. Kids, work, blah, blah.

/got some from the files
/taking the camera and tripod out for a drive.

[U-Man]

Yes it did. If you did something special, thanks. If you didn’t, well you just made such a nice product, it fixes itself.

Speaking of photoshop, my wife suggested that I add a spider web with “SOME PIG” written in it under the swine & sheep pic. 🙂
