You are all lazy non-photographers and your photos suck! I can take better pictures with a rock! What were you thinking? Duh!

(Now, would you all please go view my profile and leave comments on all of my photos? Thanks!) :^)

LOL!

What kind of rock are you using? I'm thinking about an upgrade. ;-)

I hear that the translucence of sheet mica makes for excellent photos.

Not sure, but I think it's Flourite. It's damned expensive stuff too, but it has a nice red ring aound the end.

The clarity of mica is good, but I hear those lenses can be flaky. I believe the best optics are fluorite, though granite does have excellent anti-shake properties. ;-)

It's always gneiss to find your upgrade on shale, you know...just beware of some of the schist those eBay sellers try to sell you! ;o)

OK...so it was silly and stupid, but I am in a great mood today!

Is this how you speak in Texas? :)))

Not usually...you can't hear the drawl when I use big words like those! ;o)

LOL

Oh you poor dumb souls! Don't you know that quartz is the ONLY way to go and anything less just screams "I'm no pro!" I mean, imagine showing up to a shoot with mica!! You'd be the laughing stock ;-)

No drawl with big words, Laurie? What about when you curse?
Me? Well I make the word shit (sshhhh! don't tell anybody I used that word on the forum) a two syllable word!

I plan to use Iceland Spar so I can take multiple exposures ... and maybe joining the "Icelandic photographers" group will help my photos. :)

Also, fluorite crystals are pretty cheap, actually, at least at the rock and gem stand I pass most frequently.

It's not exactly taking a picture with a rock, but it's kinda close ...

Well, in this thread anyway, everyone's camera ROCKS! :o)
06/24/2004 08:55:34 PM · #16
This thread is getting pretty heavy, should it be closed?
06/24/2004 08:56:17 PM · #17
Ore else what?
06/24/2004 08:57:20 PM · #18
We'll all hit rock bottom.

From the quality of these jokes you'd think we were all ... you know ... stoned.

Adobe leave it's time to go now ... (say it fast)

OK, so we've all lost our marble, but I'm SOOOO glad this thread didn't follow its "intended" path. Can't wait for the related threads to wither out. I will say this, though... isn't it nice that the long-running Photography vs. Digital Art debate has died down? Kudos to the SC for the new Advanced Rules. You guys ROCK!

I really want to thank glacialwolf for giving the WWYT? :) yeah!
06/24/2004 11:56:38 PM · #23
Seems that the "what were you thinking" phrase will be an inside joke for all DPC'ers now :)
06/25/2004 12:05:00 AM · #24
Maybe we can have t-shirts printed up with the new official DPC slogan!
06/25/2004 12:20:55 AM · #25
I think //www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_submit.php needs an additional (required) textbox 'WWYT'.
