No, I don't have a D200 yet. I have to wait just a little longer, but I'll have one soon (maybe January or so). But it's been a good birthday, and the D70 has been working just fine since the other day. I hope it keeps working - it's been a great camera for me.

As for scores, I'm at 6.84 in the Free Study, 5.82 in Wind, and 5.71 in Portrait in Landscape. Oh well.

I'm working on neon signs - that one's interesting. But hard. I have a backup plan for reflections without mirrors. We'll see.

I'm exactly the same. I'm going shooting tonight for both neon and long exposure.

As for MY scores.....oh dear....

Ursula, I reckon you have a top 20 with 6.8.....those free studies do get some MASSIVE scores, so good luck!

I'm currently happy to be in the solid 5's, my recent form has been deep in the 4's and very frustrating! Bet you all wished you knew that before you let me on the team!

I'm still more or less where before (6.82 in Free Study, 5.88 in Wind, 5.84 in Portrait).

I'm really short on ideas for either reflections or the neons thing. What to do. Hmmmm. It's snowing and I feel like hybernating.

I'm bummed! I went out in the cold tonight, gave up a nice warm evening with my wife to get my neon shot. Guess what.....naff all neon in Milton Keynes.

Got my long exposure shot though so not all bad.

Hopefully doing reflections tonight or tomorrow night and i might be able to squeeze long exposure in at the same time..

We looking in form for the first battle team so I know you lot are gonna dig deep and find THAT special shot so we can cruise to victory. Im sure you will all do the team proud and we will kick some LLAMA A$$

My long exposure is set to go in the stalls and as yet, nothing for reflection but shooting maybe tonight..

11/05/2006 03:28:05 PM · #240

Well both my long exposure and neon entries are in....if we all enter this week I doubt mine will be in our top four....talk about flunk!

I did a self-portrait for Long Expo on Friday 3rd....and then the speed challenge came along on Sat....bummer....I'm a pretty but-ugly guy so didn't want the trauma of doing a second SP!

Anyway, for those in Long Expo good luck, we start voting tomorrow.....I'm so excited to have three shots in voting at once..

Working on stuff. "Reflections" is one of those where if you enter a good cliche, you might just do quite well. "Neon" on the other hand is fascinating, but a whole lot less predictable. So we have to beat the Llamas, right? OK, back to work.

picked my 'reflection' one -- hopefully i won't get a bunch of "HUH?"
like usual ..

11/05/2006 09:19:15 PM · #243

Allright! Got my entry for the open challenge. He, he, he, here I come! Watch out Llamas.

And I also got one for "long exposure". The Llamas are in BIG trouble now!
