I am worried about DNMC voteswith the stopped motion. If it gets slammed I might have to pull my first self DQ. It's a nice shot, but I don't know how the voters will react.

I am pleased with my From the Ground Up entry. Should do OK, but you never know around here.

On the logo with the pic in the background, it looks to me like were are tageting the hurdler for assasination or something ;-)

How about instead of a rifle scope mask, we use an old split image focusing screen? The kind with the little circle in the middle that split the image until it was in focus. Older manual focus film SLRs were that way. I know, I'm old.


OK, I changed my Stopped Motion to one that will not get DNMCs. I don't like it as much photographically, but I've found the voters to have a low treshold for pushing the DNMC envelope.

After the challenge I'll post up the outtakes here for the team's opinion.

Hmmm, we aren't in WPL for real yet - if you want to put the DNMC one up - it'll give me a chance to beat you [insert evil laugh here]

I am really torn on this one. I can't wait to see what you guys think of the one I didn't enter. It was a tough shot to get, but you can' t really tell that unless you let it sink in for a minute. Most enrites get about 10=15 seconds of consideration, so I think it would get lost in the shuffle.

You'll probably beat the one I have entered, so don't worry!

I think everyone will beat mine. It's sub 5 currently...

I started with a 7 but now am down to a 5.29 :(

I've uploaded the duck I used and the cross hairs in case anyone wants to play with them:


I do however like scarbrd's idea of mimicing the look of the old SLR's.

Also, thanks to Zen entries by justdino4it, mad_brewer, SherwinJames and scarbrd week 4's score will be at least 6.0498 :)

I've added everyone on the team to my favorites so I can easily track the teams entries.

The team as I see it is:

Nuzzer
SherwinJames
jusdino4it
Zoomdak
mad_brewer
Strikeslip
and me, scarbrd

That's 7, is that the team?

Also, can someone tell me the rules, when WPL3 starts, why my Stop Action shot sucks, etc.

Thanks!

My Zen did worse than I expected (oh well), although I did great with those voters without cameras (go figure). My Bits and Pieces is looking to be one of my worst scores yet (but I kind of knew it wouldn't go over well with the voters).

My Stop Motion is heading towards Average City, unfortunately. I am hoping for a big voter revelation ;-).

I'm new to this, I think I can do it but I don't have all the details.

When does the season start, how long does it run, and what exactly do we have to do?

Thanks

The season should start sometime in September...You need to enter about 6 week in the 8 week season, and every week during the playoffs.

Count me in, unless you want to bump me for a higher average.
08/07/2006 03:16:05 PM · #65
hecks no!!! i think u r the highest one we have...
08/07/2006 03:21:34 PM · #66
I'm in, but I wouldn't concentrate on just averages. I'd also look at how many challenges they enter and their current average, maybe last 10 or so.

If everybody is still in, it doesn't matter anyway... I think we have a good team.

I think I've been in every challenge since I started entering. The only one I missed was a speed challege for fireworks. It rained here the entire 4th of july weekend. All my fireworks shots were red smoke!

I almost didn't enter the Stopped Motion challenge. In retrospect I shouldn't have ;-)

May be my lowest score of all.

I don't want to be too confident here. There are quite a few really good teams out there...

I'm still in. This timeframe is better for me. This time of year I find it harder to take photos as its dark when I get home from work - September is summer here - woo hoo!

I've also added everyone to my favourites. Those of you who had a zen entry I've left a comment.

Shall we run an internal competition for the remaining 6 rounds of WPL2 (weeks 5-10) whereby each of us is ranked based on our best photo of the round. The winner gets 7 points, second gets 6, etc down the 7th gets 1 point. If you don't submit a photo you get a zero? Just a bit of fun. Everyone keen?

This is so lame I like it....



I got it off Clipart. I have an account and you can use them for just about anything you want. Feel free to go there and find clipart, picture, font, etc for creating the logo. If you search "camera", "photography", etc you can find pages of them. Let me know which you want and I'll get them.
