I just did a quick peek at the last 10 challenges both of us have entered. 6 for me and 4 for you and the tenth one had a score difference of less than .0100. So we are practically tied. I had fun shooting for this one too. Forcing me more into a different mindset that I very much enjoyed. I am going to be in Chicago for the first handful of days of the challenge but should be able to keep updated on scores through my phone. |
Well I'll be... you must be slacking. :-)
Let's go for deviation of score from 5.5, in either direction. And number of letters per comment. |

I think that is brilliant criteria. Any extra points for Ben's comments or letter count? |

Care to battle? It's been a while since I have beaten you in a challenge hasn't it?
ETA - doesn't have to be a score battle. Maybe based on comments or some other criteria. |
I can't wait for this! I love living vicariously!

| Double letter count for a Ben comment. But now how will we do the math? Or are there two prizes to go for - one for average letters/comment, and one for greatest deviation from 5.5? Or is one a multiplier for the other? Will we need slide rules? I think I misplaced mine.... |

Well, since my old Viewfinder teammate has a challenge in his honor, I just had to shoot for this. I actually like shooting what I submitted, but I never enter them since they don't really fit the challenges all that well.
When do we get a LydiaToo challenge? I've been seeing a ton of frogs/toads around here lately! :-) |

Does anybody with experience with ND filters know if there is any difference in quality between the Hoya X400 and the B+W #110 3.0 neutral density filters (aside from the fact that the X400 is a 9-stop and the B+W is a 10-stop).
They are equivalent price, so just trying to figure out if it really makes any difference which one I get.

Well, B&W is the gold standard, far's I know, so if no price difference, buy it. That's what I'd do.

Build quality, I presume. I've had a few ND and UV Hoya's break. However, my B+W 10 stop is 58mm, so it was only $40. |

I can't answer your question, since I only own have a B+W 3.0 filter and so can't compare, but I'm generally happy with my B+W. Well built, and easy to screw on (which is not necessarily the case for many cheaper brands). One strange thing is that it produces a strong yellowish cast. It can be fixed more-less in RAW conversion, and does not really matter if you convert to BW, so I don't mind it too much. Maybe all of them have that, I have no idea. |

I'm in as well. I tried to channel something of his spirit without slavishly copying either his subjects or his techniques.

| I'm in. It took some bribes to get what I wanted, but I got it. I'm quite happy and hope at least Ben enjoys it, even if no one else does. |

That's basically what I was trying for too. We can be doomed together! |

I studied his portfolio for quite a while trying to wrap my head around things. Such fascinating images, so far from anything I ever captured. When I went out to try to shoot for this I had no idea where to start. Took lots of pictures -- most were worthless. It was way harder than I imagined just trying to capture something remotely appropriate.
I am in, but when voting starts it may be ugly. |

| I'm in. Between this one and my macro shot, I'm going for my two lowest scores ever. Possibly brown. But dang it, I really like both of them. |

I think all these comments show we should have more of these challenging challenges, who else agrees !
