Ok, maybe they aren’t that small.

There was some pretty bad graining on the film. Not sure if that was just the high ISO or it got x-rayed along the way. 🙁 Tried to fix where I could. Elsinore has the hires and will soon have the negatives as…Read more

I’ll get the thing developed then. Not sure how much it will cost to do, so if I need help with the cash, I’ll let y’all know.

😀

As I haven’t opened the package yet, how many pictures are left? Who wants to process it? Do we want to keep sending it on?

Oh, and my parents are in their new home now, so no…Read more

I’ve been having some issues with the most recent update of gallery (I use gallery so my mum can have her own space, she’s not great with computers) with it not taking pictures over a certain size (pixel, not file size). Completely bizarre.

If you need help on set up or anything, I should be able to help. Maybe. 😀

it’s on its way to the UK now….

A large white package is sitting on my ironing board. We have farkamera!!

Now I just have to work out what to take 😀

In the original thread, swampa made the point that this “effect” is not available to digitial photographers, as the border exceeds those allowed within the Farktography rules. I can see soosh’s points and reasoning as to why they should be allowed, but it does place a disparity…Read more

I wish to apologise to you all (and berate myself) for my excess of slackness lately. I was away over christmas, and I have my parents staying with me at the moment. I didn’t think it would be kind to wake them at 1am to post, then at 2am THEY woke ME up! HOW…Read more

..stuff..

Also, I don’t know about anybody else, but I can shoot for days, like, more than 24 hours of actual shooting on just one piddly little battery, so unless it’s for ergonomics, a battery grip seems like overkill unless you’re hiking alone in the wilderness, far from civilization and civilization’s convenient supply of electricity, and…

This is what makes me love Farktography. I stop being such a scaredy cat and try out new things. Even if I do end up with coffee beans on pink plates. 😳

I should not go out drinking and then take pictures and try to colour fix them on the laptop in future. But it was the Directors birthday, I didn’t have much choice. 😉

(And it still looked white on the laptop this morning, sober.)

Am I screwed for being a dizzy woman or is there anyway I can get that link fixed?

(new link, if it is possible to do is…Read more

Xenpix – Bigger islands are over-rated 😛

I quite like that bigger island you live on. If only it were around 10 degrees cooler, I could move back. 😥

Maybe you should try New Zealand, it’s kind of like Australia, except cooler and fewer poisonous snakes and spiders…

Yeah, but it’s full of Kiwis!

As few as possible. I try to think of myself as a photographic sniper – one shot, one kill. My usual shooting fodder – race cars, race car people, and small dogs – don’t usually allow me the luxury of “wait, let me try one more” so I make sure I get it as close to right the first time because I don’t often have the luxury of a second try.

This is…Read more

Here’s hoping it doesn’t cause us too much bother though!

Let’s hope the wind dying down gives the firefighters a chance to at least control the fires to start with, so that they can eventually get them out.

I feel a little overwhelmed by the quality of the postings nearly every week. And every week I’m amazed mine get the votes they do. Don’t give up!

I am completely and totally honoured to be able to post amongst the amazing photographs that are on show in that there thread. I had a quick look in on it this morning before I headed to work and have spent the entire day wanting to get home…Read more

The format that I will be adhering to follows. If anyone is struggling how to pull this contest off, I think it should work very well:

1. Take Original Photo
2. Create Two “Wallpapers” – one 4:3, one 16:10. if you have enough megapixels/good quality prints to scan, I recommend making the 4:3 at 1600×1200, and the 16:10 at 1920×1200.
3. Turn…

Or

People may not want to have their image used, so maybe those who do link to available sizes and those that don’t just leave off the linkage? That way it’s a personal choice as to which we do, how many sizes we make, that kinda thing.

Although the doctors note is technically only for work…

I’m running Capture One (got a free coupon for it with my memory card, wooo!) and that also has a batch “process” function which will convert to jpg amongst other things. So far it seems like a pretty good system.

If you’re going to pay…Read more

I don’t thinke there’s anything in my town that isn’t in a book!

http://www.visityork.org

I have a couple of ideas though.

..If I can stay awake late enough to post.

I’m going for the Oldest Recorded Town in England. Anything of interest here has been published by the damned Romans. 😉

But those danged locals, they just walk straight past. I…Read more

I’ve had some pretty neat pictures turn up, even with the camera I’ve got (Vivitar ViviCam3746), which wasn’t too bad for a first digital the years ago I bought it, but now… eh. Even so, it will manage some pretty decent photos.

That’s a pretty damn fine magnolia you have there. Fantastic shot. Point and shoots don’t take away from the skill of…Read more

So for example. Can I go in and buy three things, take a picture of each with whatever accessories I wish and submit those, or do I have to buy one thing, accessorize as required and then photograph it three times (with same or different accessories, depending on…Read more

Nice! I’ll be in the middle of my trip to Scotland — hopefully I can stop off at an internet cafe and post a few pics from the trip!

Yes, I admit that I’m mostly posting this because I’M GOING TO SCOTLAND IN A WEEK!! WOO HOO!! 😀

Does that mean I’m going to have competition on my picture of the Forth Rail Bridge? 😀

Did….did you just get bonked by staplermofo?! That’s…. I’m……. soooo…….uhhh…… hm….

Jealous?

(bonking =/= boinking, birthday punches are a part of our rich cultural heritage and it behooves us to carry on these traditions so that our way of life isn’t lost in the shuffle of this modern world)

You know, in some cultures bonking…Read more

What about clocks? Are hands from clocks allowed? (it doesn’t say they aren’t…)

I’m just struggling to find ways to photograph my own hands enough for this one.

I have the Sigma 10-20mm, as Elsinore said. It’s a really spiffy lens.

There are a couple of examples http://www.farktography.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=869&start=15 in that thread. I’ve been a bit slack of late, but next weekend I’m off to Brussels, so I expect I will have plenty of examples from it after…Read more

In other news, KarolA appears to have the same picture entered twice, and she has votes on both. Don’t know what you want to do about it, but thought I’d mention it.

Pete Tong (who is a quite famous DJ here) is rhyming slang for Wrong.

Urgh.

If you go for one of the cheaper dSLR then you have the option to expand with lenses at a later date, which means you will have more options whilst retaining the easy factor. However you may find it a bit…Read more
