Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) for Nikon

02/20/2007 09:13:31 PM · #401

i am in street , currently 5.78, i am still hoping it's going to go back up, and i still think it's one of the best shots i 've ever taken.

as for love and hate i had a couple of ideas,BUT i got a cold and i am tired to implement any of them. so i am sticking with my street photography shot.

i am sure about the rest, we need one more to guarantee we don't get a zero, i have a feeling we are going to win the second week...

The Trees score won't count towards the WPL average... but I can't wait to see what everyone came up with this week! I picked one for Love, but I'm not expecting anything fantastic as far as the score. At least it will be higher than 0 :)

I sure hope next weeks topics are something I feel more creative about!

Well, after a measly 16 votes, I'm sitting at a boring average of 5.5... if only I can hold on to that!

well we improved , our average went up 0.1
but we got beaten again. overall no matter what i am still happy with the team, everyone is doing their best and that's what matters.
last WPL our average was below 4 to say the least, so far 2 rounds and our average is holding steady at 5.5 which i think is very decent.
thank you guys, and let's hope we can keep on improving.

I think I left comments for all of you on the music/biology entries, just trying to give some constructive help to the team. It's good to see that our average went up, even if it was only by .1 :) Isn't the phrase "slow and steady wins the race"? :P

zaflabout... could you post some photographers notes on how you did your music shot? I'd be interested in reading them, as I'm sure a few others would be.

Damn, my girlfriend always forgets to log out! Sorry for the above post.

My Hate entry is at 5.9 atm.

I also got a comment by one of the team. Thanks!

kteach i just posted on the image how i did it. thanks for your comment.

now that's what i am talking about hsolakidis, 5.9 that's great, my street entry it a 5.8 and kteach is a 5.5, neophyte about a 5.4 so we are still going to be improving this week as well it seems:)

if we don't qualify this time it's fine , but at least we know we have a team that's improving.

02/21/2007 02:44:08 PM · #414

Thanks for posting the 'how to' zaflabout... I never would have guessed monitor, but it makes sense now about the size differences.

I'm up to a 5.8 for Love in case anyone is keeping track of what we might get for the week.

well if any of the other team members have a 5.3 and up and considering ourscores to hold, we are heading towards a 5.7... , if we keep on heading this way we'll b e hitting 6.o by the end of the 5th round :)

Just wanted to apologize to everyone...I wasn't able to get anything in this past week and I feel awful about it. I've made the move down here to Oklahoma and just a few days after I did, my grandmother passed away. It was expected, and it ended her suffering, but difficult nonetheless...

Anyway...I will be back on the horse this week. Sorry again.

Brielle, don't feel bad at all. You need to take care of your personal life first. Sorry to hear about your grandmother, but it sounds like she was suffering a lot, and at least doesn't have to feel that pain any more. Good to hear that you've completed the move, although moving from Canada to Oklahoma just in time for an ice challenge probably wasn't ideal :P Good to have you back though!

Oh, and zaflabout.. I don't see you entered for the ppc challenge this week! Today is the deadline!

glad to hear that you are done with your move, i can tell you moving from one street to the other is exhausting, i don't know about changing countries:), so good luck with your new place...

i did not have time so far to enter in the ppchallenge:(
althouhgt i was playing around with a filter that they mentioned in another thread called the lucisart filter, a plug in to CS2, great stuff! if i have time today i will have the chance to put it into use.
and if i can't make it to the deadline i guess it will be up to you to represent Team D50;)
btw i think i am going to get the brown in the current ppchallenge my score is 4.1 something hehehe
