Ogden Nash? (wait, that's two words... and I just found out it's not an Ogden Nash poem)

Baird? That's who wrote it --

The wind doth blow,
Soon it will go,
I hope it's quick
It makes me sick.

:D

Cool photos, though -7-

joy is what the phrase seems to want, but I'm thinking wetness or satisfaction. :) Fun shots. I would have cropped off the top a bit. The first shot is my favorite because his head is going so hard, his jowls are all pushed up on one side. :)

Pretty cool -- I had no idea what it was. I figured it was light panels someplace.

Awesome!!! Huge congrats on the blue and the PB! It was an 8 from me. :)

About the blue spark -- I'm assuming that you don't have the blue because it's blown. Two things you can try:

1. Do you shoot RAW? This gives you more control over the exposure during post processing. You can open the file and adjust it the way you want it to appear for the mechanism itself, then open another copy of the same file, this time bringing down the exposure until you get the blue, and then merge the two images, masking out the appropriate areas.

2. If the RAW file still doesn't give you enough information, since it was advanced editing, you can take two pictures -- one exposure adjusted for the machine then one exposure adjusted to the blue spark. Then bring the images together masking out the appropriate parts.

That's what I would do -- there's probably other ways of doing it. :)

Feel free to PM if you have questions.

Again -- wonderfully done!!

You CAN have it and EAT it too!!!

I like the idea and set up of the shot, but the lighting seems quite flat. I think more contrast could have helped. :)

Sounds like something Bear_music would make. :)

I like the pov and the dof. Are the lady fingers a little oversaturated? (color wise, not simple syrup or liqueur-wise. :)

I love the idea of the shot and the angle, but it's still so dark. I'd be curious what it would look like with the interior of the facility brighter. It's possible that you're getting hurt quite a bit by the 800 pixel limit. Maybe it would be better if we could see it at 1600, and the darkness wouldn't affect it so much. 5 as is, but probably could have been a 7 shot.
