ParticipantGood… is it a problem to combine them, so we open it up to any pics of bugs? Or should we just go with “Bugs” and let people with macro pics submit them? That would allow for Macro Bugs to be possible in the nearer future, I guess…
EDIT EDIT EDIT
OK… just “bugs” this way we can macro bugs at a later date (but sooner than 2 years).Yugoboy

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7074/7312019964_17ae01f47b_b.jpgI had 6 ready to go. Asked my wife to help me pick the three… based on voting… can’t say whether she did good or not, as I don’t have a great record of picking Fark voter-friendly shots. Kinda glad I didn’t go with the Blue Angels, especially after someone else’s 3 entries were ALL Blue Angels. Thought real hard about the scooters, though…
Tryin’ to decide if I should ask for her help with my numerous birds… I got a bunch ready.Yugoboy
ParticipantSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!
I need all three of my first uploads deleted… I was getting “Parks” ready after I got tonight’s ready… copy/pasted the wrong ones!!!
Sorry…
EDIT – Saw you got them… thanx mucho! Now I guess I need my response to you in the contest thread also cleaned up… bleah… glad I don’t fark up like this every week…

ParticipantThat loud thunk was my jaw hitting the floor. Crazy good stuff!

ParticipantI will concede that you seem prepared enough and don’t need my help.

ParticipantOh-oh—she’s going to be trouble at 17…look at how she’s already let that dress strap lilt to the side! Carry a gun for when she brings the boys over…
Don’t know if he needs to carry a gun, so much as have a full gun case, and be cleaning one when the kid stops over. A few “crazy eyes” looks and references to his time “in country” might be a little more effective at conveying the message. Also, mumbling slightly incoherently to your long-dead dog should work as well, combined with the ever so occasional nervous twitch/tic.
Even though I don’t have kids, I’ve been thinking about this a loooooong time… got a few nieces I care about.
Last suggestion for today. Scrap the guns and take up archery. Mention how you like the way you can kill silently. Combine with other nervous energy mentioned above. Enjoy the reactions.

ParticipantI have a square bumper on my jeep and a remote control. Now I’ve got a neat idea to try and some potentially tragic results if I screw it up.

ParticipantBTW – before this gets posted as the link tomorrow (if mopsy‘s request is nixed), are we confident that “Mosaics” is the right word?
I only ask, because I’m fairly certain the vast majority of people not privy to this conversation will think and act exactly as ennuipoet did earlier. It’s not like I’ve got a much better suggestion, but with numerous members and 36 hours, I’m sure we can come up with something slightly more fitting if we want to.

ParticipantDude, that’s awesome, I’d use that in a heartbeat

ParticipantI don’t usually make these kind of suggestions, but what does everyone think about moving the mosaic/collage theme to the end of the present list of themes. I really want to play with this and feel rushed. On the other hand this group tends to be procrastinators, so maybe it does not make any difference! 🙄
I’m good with this. While I’ve got a couple ideas already, I’m always up for more time to play with a Photoshopping theme.

ParticipantI totally concede on the Farkstronomy thing. Those are some nice shots I wish I had the ability to even think about getting.

ParticipantI’ve got a Bamboo Fun, thanx to Mrs. Yugoboy. Because I literally wore a hole through the paint on my laptop’s touchpad doing dodge and burn for my Photoshop entries it had become slightly uncomfortable to use in PS. It took a while to gin up the courage to use the Bamboo, but with some practice it’s a very nice little tool. I only ever use it for serious Photoshop work*, and still use the touchpad for pretty much everything else.
As CauseISaidSo mentioned, you’ll love the pressure sensitivity. It takes practice, but with time you’ll love it. I just enjoy the feel of it, and when making selections with the lasso tool, or trying to erase a pixel at a time, it’s perfect. Practice practice practice!
*”serious Photoshop work” to be defined as anything using more than 3 or 4 layers… don’t need it for much Farktography stuff, even though I’m serious about that too.

ParticipantI’m digging the wide aspects.
Thanx! I’m assuming that means the wide angle type ones, like the unsuccessful stolen base?
Either way… Thanx!Today’s game was delayed over an hour by a downpour moments before pre-game ceremonies. (Although “down”pour isn’t quite accurate, more like 45-degree angle-pour.)
Got a couple nice shots from the fact that I got to actually see some of these ceremonies for once. I’m not a big fan of ceremonies, but I tried to endure them stoically. These two shots almost made it worth it.

This next one is of the 2B, SS and 3B. Looks almost like the cast of a Disney movie…

Two game shots. One’s a combined shot. The 3rd out of the first half of the first inning was a comebacker to the mound that was fielded well by the pitcher. The throw, however, left something to be desired. Only because Parmalee’s a decent 1B was the inning over.

This last one is one of a series of about 7 of Nishioki stealing second. I like this one best, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be one of my Freeze Frame entries. (Notice the ball in the upper right of the picture.)

It started raining on me on my way home. I have no idea right now if they even got to finish the game.

ParticipantHad an entire week off from stadium work, because there weren’t any games. Both teams were away. Got 3 Yankees games and 1 Wings game to show off. I’ve already got these on the blog, but these are watermark-free. Speaking of the watermark, if you’ve seen the pix on the blog, you’ll know that I don’t use the mark to prevent usage; I try to keep it out of the way of the action in the picture. It’s mostly for branding purposes. I’d kind of like to get a media pass and do more with other teams in town (all we’ve got are minor league teams, but they’re all top tier teams). I’m also beginning to think about doing the Kickstarter thing to get an inventory of prints ready for festivals and shows.
Anyway, on to the pix:
