Interesting -- hope you post some details how you made it.

When You're The One

I "oneder" how long that took to set up ... and if there are versions with all the pips parallel -- already rather similar to "op-art".

Nice composition, exposure and detail -- might have been even more effective if the white one was inside feeding frenzy.

Interesting use of motion blur to highlight your subject.

Definitely a "why didn't I think of that" photo for me -- AND you get to eat the props. :-)

Congrats on the ribbon!

Love the framing; I almost didn't notice it the fish-eye effect as it "suits" the composition well.

I think you could have legally given the sky a tint -- I usually use one or more Curves adjustment layers for that sort of thing.

You've done a much better job than I've been able to get when trying to capture guitar string vibration -- thanks for posting your settings and set-up. :-)

Congratulations on the ribbon!

Originally posted by Nowhere_Man: I kinda wish the sharp, frozen part of the string would have been in the middle of the vibrating part of the string.

Try plucking while dampening the string at one of the main harmonic-points as if tuning the guitar -- 1/4 of the length from the bridge (or nut). The note there should be two-octaves higher ... probably not as nice a composition though as you probably can't also center the sound hole.

Nice -- I've lived in the Bay Area essentially my whole life and I've never been to Mare Island ...

AFLAC by GeneralE

Aghast, I just stared at the screen.
Forgive me, but what does this mean?
Like, some duck talking to
All these guys with no clue
Could convince me insurance is keen!

AFLAC is the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, which has run a TV ad campaign featuring people oblivious to the duck offering them insurance advice. Since initiating the ads in 1999, the company's name-recognition (in nationwide polling) has risen from 10 to 90 percent, so perhaps not everyone has remained oblivious.
