Yeah, the trouble is I'd give it a 10 ;o)

Technology can be tricky sometimes. Nevermind sweety, just remember to ask mummy how to switch to auto before you go out to play again...

GO RINA!!!! :o)

I should get 1/2 credit for the setup on that one!

Absolutely. You got any more?

Not really. It's just that Mad's mum keeps phoning to ask us to stop picking on you.

How are we looking for next week? I shot yesterday for B&W, but nothing worth submitting. I have to go to "plan B" this weekend. I may actually have to go way out of my comfort zone if I need to go to "plan C".

11/10/2006 10:34:31 AM · #258

I have a couple of ideas I am going to try for B&W this weekend.

How does the open challenge work? Do we all enter the same one?

I am leaning towards Spots.

Doing well in Neon, 6.62
Poorly in Long Exposure, 5.3

I know it doesn't count, but I got a 7.01 in the Free Study, but still finished 11th, ouch!

I believe it's your top score from whatever challenge you entered during the week. If I get something decent for B&W I'll probably not bother with the open challenges, but you never know. I have an idea for spots, but not sure if I have the time to pull it off.

That's a great shot you had for the free study. Was it taken at a zoo? Pet?

In the garden in front of my house. Same lizard as my Morning entry.

I am going to post the originals this weekend to show the severe crop and how well the 70-200 4.0L held it's sharpness.

I've got a B&W entered. I can't believe I have to wait two whole days to see how the scoring's going to go. I'm very curious how it will do. My guess is it will either be below 5 or above 6, but not in between.

I think im going into B and W...i know it dosent count but i have some great free study shots too so watch out.

11/12/2006 01:23:44 AM · #263

I'm in B&W. I don't think I'll enter the open challenges this week.

I know it's not a WPL challenge bit I'd like to enter HDR. Problem it rollover is 6pm here so I can perhaps shoot tomorrow but chances are I won't be home from work to process it before 6pm :(

I'm in Headwear, trying for B&W biut I don't like what I have so far

I am clueless on HDR

It's a close one at the half-way mark!

Does everybody have something in for this week? I'd hate for us to get a zero averaged in due to lack of participation. I'm doing OK (for now) in B&W and probably won't have anything for the open challenges.

I have a question. Is only my one best score from this week used? I ask because I'm assuming my B&W will do fairly well so I'm pretty much covered for this week. I shot an entry for Headwear last night and it's the kind of photo that I like, but I'm very sure will score below 5 here. So I'm assuming that low score won't be used for Trigger Happpy.

My B&W started at 7.5 after 2 votes. 5.6 after 30 votes.

Neon is still in the 6.6 range.

We'll not discuss my Long Exposure score. ;-)

I have an entry in for Headwear.

Coolio, thanks! You never know. The voters may finally understand my art for the Headwear challenge and it'll score the perfect 10 it deserves! ;-)

I'm still barely holding on to a 6 in B&W. Maybe I'll see spots later if it takes a nosedive.
