LOL! Great, Jan! I needed a good laugh to wake me up this morn....arrrr!

Well just got my camera in the mail. So hopefully can get an image for week 4.
And hope for our first win if week 3 is not a winner.

Great to hear Mitch, I know being without my camera would be quite depressing for me. Even when I go to my daay job, she is always there beside me.

I am hoping for a big win in week 4 if we do not get one in 3 also. I will also be back in the game in week 4. I missed a deadline due to a clock set behind..... Grrr.... Oh well.

I am looking definately to be in ice and quite possibley the minimalism also..

Who is the rest of the team doing for week 3??????

I'm in on 2 challenges for Week III:
'Street Photography' (scoring at my 4th PB!! So far, in the '6s')
and 'Hate' (around the 5.5 range)

Har ye Pirates! How be all the shipmates?

Quite busy on my side, work is really hectic and still trying to get my wedding photography business off the ground. Far too slow to my liking.

But, I've been asked to take pictures at my company's socccer match on Friday, if that goes well I have a very good chance of doing all the corporate shoots for the company from there on. Wish me luck.

Hey guys,

Just to let everyone know I am in for week 4. I am in low key. I like the photo but we know when I like it, most everyone else doesnt. But we will see.

I'll be in on furniture. Hoping to get a good score on that one...

Actually Jan if I am not mistaken, furniture is week 5, the week 4 member challenge was acronym.

02/27/2007 08:32:05 AM · #260

Yeah... I purposely avoided that one...

Edit: I might be in on low key, just trying to decide on which shot to enter, and if I am happy with it or not.

Posting in the 5.8's in the acronym challenge
*not bad for a total last minute entry!*
Arrrrrr maties, who be in Acronyms lest me?

02/28/2007 06:19:57 AM · #262

Crashing and burning all the way down in the low key challenge, people just dont seem to appreciate my photos...... Oh well. Looks like I am shooting for brown. Unintentionally, and propbably a personal worst.

Rich

Ouch! I've had the same bad luck lately, kinda made me sit back and re-evaluate my technique, which is why I avoided some challenges.

I'll be in on the Free study and Furniture, and probably red as well.

02/28/2007 07:12:33 AM · #264

Im in on ice. Will post score later today when more people vote on it. Hopefully week 4 will bring us our first win, Arrrrrrrr is everyone in on a week 4 challenge?

02/28/2007 07:16:26 AM · #265

I crashed out of week 4. Just nothing seemed to work....

Well as you read from below, I am in. Not that its going to do much for the group. *Sighs, ok if you guys want me to I will walk the plank now. Volunterily......

02/28/2007 08:14:28 AM · #267

Well even if an image is that great we should enter it. I seen last week that only 3 people eneterd challenges i was one of the people that did not enter. We can't win if we do not play. We should all try to enter a least 1 challenge a week. Hot-pixel no walking the plank.

02/28/2007 10:54:56 AM · #268

I was only asking if ya all wanted me to, I wasnt going to do it to myself. Lets cowboy up and get a win in the next few weeks so we can hold our heads high. I am starting to think of the red challenge now. Didnt come up with anything much for furniture that I thought would do well. So I am al least going for red.

I'm in on the following challenges and here's the current scores:
"Trees" - 5.6867
"Acronyms" - 5.8365
"Ice" - 5.8000

Pretty consistent!
Still bummin' about the "Street Challenge" - I ended in the high 5.9's but REALLY wanted (and deserved, dang it!) a score in the 6's!
Arrrrr! Let's win, fellow Pirates

03/02/2007 12:07:41 PM · #271

Avast ye maties! Get those photos in each week (pleeeze)....we gotta have a minimum of 4 pics in or we get the dreaded ZEROS added into our average for the week, which is what happened in Week 3. Four (4) of our Team members didn't entered either/any of the challenges. Kinda bummin' on this news. :(

Im in this week, although I probably will not be much of a help. My low key entry, I had to post process on a laptop in order to get it in, it looked really nice on the laptop. But really horrible on my calibrated monitor the next day. Right now it is sitting at 3.72. Starting to think about taking up another hobby like rock collecting, at least people Cannot judge a rock to harshly.

Hopefully one of my scores will count. How is everyone else doing for scores this week?

Rich

P.S: Hoping for a entry into the red, and I am always on the look out to fill the others as well.
