More than one person will dnmc, I guarantee it. I am not busting your balls about this, I'm just telling you up front. People will see the trails in a challenge that specifically mentions no motion blur and BLAMMO the dnmc's will head your way. Not everyone, but enough people to give you a headache I am sure.

Call me fancyguy then compliment my photo, eh? Stick and carrot, eh? You're lucky I'm stuck under this bridge or I'd come kick you in the ankle. ;)

I think the same thing I think about bug shots, flower shots and sunsets as I do about this. There are thousands of other photos of water drops on the site, so the bar has been raised incredibly high. If you submit a water drop shot that just buries everything else out there, you will get great scores. But that is a large, large herd to stand out in.

I wouldn't say that. You'll just be competing against whoever else enters a water shot in the challenge and not the dozens upon dozens that came before it. It would be great if what you said was true but fact is straight duplication even if it doesn't quite nail it still is good for a great score just because it's a water shot. Graphicfunk's shot posted above is a very rare exception of taking a tired old subject and doing something new and fresh with it but with the way people vote so high on these entries any old water shot will do just so long as it's not OOF and lacking color.

I wonder if ISO1600 with shutter of 1/2000 be fast enough to freeze a sneeze? hehe

I'll skip this one. Too difficult for me.
I think I'll be quite able to get a motion in a stopped object, but that doesn't count, does it LOL

I dropped a tile in a bucket full of water, just for practice, but it was getting too dark already, so it came out as...well, as nothing actually ha ha.

I have no motion around here unless I go turn the water on outside and create these puddles... Its to darn hot that even after the down poor of rain last night the ground is dry again...

hmmmm ... perhaps there is an idea....puddles in motion from wet to dry...
just kidding..
I am working up something though I think.. :)

OK, fellow voters, which do you want - the mediocre shot that definitely shows action stopped but lacks technicals, or the mediocre shot that's marginally (very) better technically but maybe not as definitive in it's stopped motion? You make the call.... :-)

Well dang. Ain't got no ovaltine. I have two mediocre shots to choose from, though. There's that! And I'd best decide soon. No rain actually made it to my house (though the radar shows a whole bunch was supposed to be here - musta made a wrong turn) so I must go out and water some. Or not. I mean, after all, the grass is already pretty much dead, and we only have, what, three more months of "high in the mid to upper 90s" left to go....

In that case I say go technicals all the way.

And just paint the grass green, done for the summer :)

I'm in..... tough one to shoot for, tough one to choose for. My choosing capability seems a bit broken sometimes :( Anyway - I'm in.

OK - I have one paypal dollar burning an e-hole (that doesn't sound right) in my e-pocket saying you'll score higher than I do.

Wow! First member only challenge I've entered for awhile but I'm in!
 08/06/2006 08:58:06 PM · #50
I'm not in yet (still need to water the front lawn) but I'm betting a 5.2 regardless of which shot I pick. And that Cindi will be JP, who's had far too much festivalitiesness.
