Sucking along on the road less traveled

I will not be in Vegas this fall, but there's a good chance I may be in Prague, or Iceland, or Venice, or Berlin, or Dresden. If anyone is going to be in any of those places, do let me know! :-) (I'm old - I'm entitled to goof off for a bit.)

Back from the state fair where one of my pictures is hanging. Saw lots of photos processed with Topaz very big out here. On another note had my old AE1 out and was taking B/W rolls. I hadn't had that camera out for about 5 years, what a trip taking the picture and then flipping trying to see what you did, and then hitting forehead and saying got to wait. I did 2 rolls the 1st pretty trashed hopefully the 2nd roll will look a little better. I had forgotten how much I liked the experience of working with film and the wait to see how good or bad your eye was that day.

Well, I took and edited a last minute pasta entry. Should get around a 4.5 (went kind of overboard). LOL! The funniest thing is last night I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner but never thought of the challenge.

I tried for this week's Advanced challenge, but I pasta point of no return....bwahahahahahahaaaaa! So I got me a Free Study instead and (I hope), a shoot lined up for Veggie Tales (really must shoot it) and a really cool shoot lined up for Where's Waldo? ideally for this Wednesday....

I've got a 4.0 going in pasta. Lower than I expected, but not by much. I'm hoping my FS does a bit better.

I don't know if anyone's on tonight... but I have two strange free study options -- both of which should tank, but I like them anyway. Anyone willing to give an opinion?

08/31/2009 11:59:06 PM · #112

oh jeez, just entered for the free study. ugh. and sorry wendy, i just saw your post now

09/01/2009 12:00:27 AM · #113

no problem -- both shots would have tanked anyway! So it doesn't matter which I enter.

09/01/2009 12:01:19 AM · #114

my first entry was illegal:/ thats a first for me. so i went with an okay second. my prediction is a 5.1

09/01/2009 12:09:04 AM · #115

I'm tanking along with a 4.0 to open my free study scoring. It shouldn't be legal for me to enter anything!

I'm trying to make my FS entry go away - but it's still there.... grrrrrr....

It's still there. I even did a 'refresh'. Alas, I'm leaving, and won't have a computer until tomorrow afternoon. Maybe it'll be gone by then, yes? I sent in a ticket. Is there something else we need to do to self DQ?

Yes, you have to answer a confirmation email asking if you're sure you want to do it. Was the score really that bad? I understand your frustration though. It seems no matter what I post anymore it scores mainly in the 4's. My FS was accepted for stock so I know it's not a bad picture. I love it, but it's scoring a 5.2. My pasta is at 4.1, though I expected it because of my "artistic" edit. But again, I like it.

Where are the comments.

I have two comments on my Rule of Thirds (One of them is my sister) and no comments on my Free Study.
