How did the pre-show party go, Mary? |

That's so tempting! How are scores computed now? Can I do something simple like get the scores from the currently displayed challenge results on like Wednesday? PM me with the details.

I don't actually "log in" with my script; I just look at the page as a random non-DPC account browser would see it. I'll see what I can do as far as automatically logging in as me (and if I can get that part right, I can automate posting the results too!) |
As some of you might have seen, I redid the Bubbles results with my modified script. It'll pick out "personal best" and "personal top 5" results. The SC confirmed that I can't do thumbnail captioning (like the front page results), so I'm pretty limited in how I present the output.
Next up is automating the weekly team scores for posthumous.
Thanks to everyone for my recent surge of comments; I'll get back to commenting more myself once I have these things working.

Fantastic! It's amazing to have my photograph in a gallery with artists. There were 34 photographers selected for the show and about 10 last night were honored for merit distinction. My photograph was one of the merit selections. I received a $50 gift certificate for framing materials and will have the photograph published in the next week's edition of the Philadelphia City Paper.
The show had a variety of processes, digital, silver prints, color prints, gum bichromate. And most of the photographs were abstract. It was so great to see so many different visions of what a photograph could be.

Yay, the City Paper! I'll have my niece save a copy for me.
It sounds like you were quite inspired by the company you kept last night. Congratulations on the merit distinction! |

SC.
You may not use distortions to create new effects or radically alter objects.
MY response.
I cannot understand what has been distorted, these are three equal panels looked at from different angles, with absolutely no Change to there sizes in any way. If you hold a square picture in front of you and look at it straight on it is square, if you turn it 45deg to the left it is still square and the same size on all edges looked at on a different plain, then if you turn it up and look at it on a horizontal it is still square all the edges and size are the same, there is absolutely no distortion in it what so ever.
The decision you have taken here is saying that rubrics cube is distorted when you are holding it in your hand, I had a mathematician look at this and he said you cannot distort something that is of equal sides and edges regardless of how you look at it.
Distortion to me, as explained by the mathematician is when you extend an edge on one plane longer than that on another, this has not been done at any time.
Don't forget this challenge is still running.

hywind - i think i know which was yours. and, yes, if you're speaking of a true 3 dimensional object, the distortion discussion is true. but you're not.
you created (if this is the image i am thinking of, and i think it as, as it's not there any more) the illusion of three dimensionality, which requited the distortion of the image. of course, when you turn an object 'in re' each of its facets is undistorted, because it is a full and tangible thing. but, when you represent a three dimensional object in two dimensions, which is what photography, drawing, and painting do, then each of the facets of the object which are not straight on to the viewer are visually distorted. now, if you had stuck the images onto the three dimensional object (gawd, how awkward, trying not to describe the image) and re-photographed it, that would be fine.
the mathmetician is right, but he is not taking into account the problem of two dimensional representation. so, the visual distortion wins here, as you are creating an illusion, not a sculpture.

No camera will give you inherent talent - you've got that by the tonne all on your own, whether you're using the best pro camera out there or a drug store disposable P&S camera.
Enjoy your new camera though - have fun with it.

I think I know which one it was too - if I'm right about which one, I gave it a good score, I really liked it. Sorry about the DQ - that sucks. |

I have spoken with him since the DQ, and what you are saying is true, and we had a lack of communication when talking before I submitted.
I know they will not change thier minds, but if I am going to crash and burn why not do it with a bang....heading for the hills.

Just wanted to say I am almost done my first wave through the free study voting and I am amazed by the sheer number of magnificent images. Have never entered a free study yet, and it's starting to be a daunting prospect. Such a wide variety of talent!
No ideas for any upcoming challenges and my triptych is still stagnating - on the bright side it cured me of hitting the update button. :)

okay guys.
i know i haven't been here in a while but i really need some advice.
my website has grown rediculously in popularity. i've gotten way more hits and requests for video than i thought i would at the onset of this project.
as a result i'm seriously thinking about doing a dvd for the site. it will contain at least six bands ( all of whom will be paid percentages from the proceeds ).
now here's the question...
i have to get a good camcorder for anywhere from 800 to 1000 dollars that can withstand the environment of punk rock shows. i need it to be very high quality but at the same time affordable.
any suggestions?

Wish I could help, I don't have a clue, sorry! Congradulations on the popularity though, how cool! When you get it all sorted out post a link on the here (TS thread), I would be interested in buying a copy, I love Punk/Goth/Alternative.

Hi guys! Can I get some comments on some edits please? Also, I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the white line above the lips on the painted version if anyone knows. I tried the healing brush and couldn't get it to work without significant blurring.
 original with slight editing
 painted effect
 iced effect

one way you could do it is to duplicate the layer, then blur it whole whack, do a black layer mask, then, with a teeni tiny brush paint in just that line. that might work. the healing brush, again very small, set on 'replace' and just heal that line.
