hmm, so we are supposed to base our scores on how difficult it is to capture rather than if it looks good?

Apparently some of us do easy stuff and some of us do hard stuff, and the easy stuff should have an automatic easy penalty applied to it because, well... it's so much EASIER than the hard stuff, which, because it's so hard to capture, deserves a handicap so it can compete with the easy to capture stuff, which is .... oh, never mind...

See, as a landscape photographer I've come to realize I'm at a great disadvantage (wait, do I hear howls of laughter? C'mon people, hear me out!) because I don't have any waterfalls, I don't have any mountains, I don't have any cliffs, I have nothing but LOTS of ocean and, for part of the year, interesting boats. And marshes, but they're FLAT, see, and they're not like WENDY'S marshes, which teem with photogenic birds (she has it SO easy!)... Anyway, it's THOSE guys, the mountains-and-waterfall guys, that really have it easy. Don't you think? Oh, never mind...

I'd go take a picture if it wasn't raining. Maybe I should go take a picture anyway. In the rain... That's the ticket... That can't be easy, can it? Anyway, I'm not home. I'm in Californioa. In the rain... Sigh... Life's never easy, is it? Except when it is :-)


Stop bitching about your scenery! I live in NJ for gosh sake!


But isn't it the Garden State?

Hahah! They're not my marshes, though. When it takes 3 1/2 hours to get there, it adds at least some degree of difficulty. :)

We lack clouds, so my landscapes suck. I think we need to bring Bear's landscapes, my birds, and a couple of waterfalls and mountains all together and see what we get!

I guess people should probably down vote me for having it easy. Oregon has lots of ocean, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and a hell of a lot of clouds. Not many birds though.

Maybe I should do more landscapes.

Try Nebraska. No oceans or even large lakes. No mountains or even hills. Nothing but cornfields and the corn's all dead :(

They're all hidden behind the clouds. Ever heard of Valsetz? The rain capital of OR before it was destroyed - er - "restored".
