greetings ladies ! :-)
I hope like heck it wasn't MANDITORY to enter "long exposure". I will submit for one of the Tues challenges (hopefully).

Haven't entered in Pet Challenge even since couple weeks ago. Our baby, "Ursa" was stolen out of her pen and we just aren't very chipper pet folks at present.

Had the crud (sick) and haven't clicked shutter in days/weeks..SORRY :-(

hugs and love to all,
S

I'm around 4.8. It is creeping up oh so very slowly, so I *might* hit five.

I have a technically good, and I think creative, shot for reflections, but I'm afraid it may be too "out there" for a good score. I was hoping to do something "good" with long exposure then play with reflections, but I may be reshooting . . .

I stink at bw conversions, so that one will be a stretch for me.

I'd like clarification about the action thing in advanced editing....am sure Karma will know!! :o)

I have PS CS2 but am useless with it!! If you can explain a good way to convert to B&W I'd be happy to give it a go! :o)

I use PS CS2 and will typically convert using Channel Mixer (monotones). Less fiddling around with levels and curves afterward. I'm not sure about actions either, so would be nice to find out.

Not sure I'll enter b&w, I'll see how many entries it gets up to first.

Well, my LEII score crept up as well, now a 5.3 woohoo! :) Natalya, you trash talk good, you go gurl! :D

Bleh, even if your score holds up, your loser team mates will drag the average down anyway!

Could I just point out some quotes from your own wee thread...

Gerry, I'm sorry if this is news to you but ladies can be very cunning, do you think we dont know you'll be checking out our scores? What are the chances that we may all be posting just to make you THINK your winning? :-P ;o)

I guess I better not post my current score. We don't want them to lose without the imminent self-DQs.

i thought it was the stomach bug but now i know. nuzzer has made me throw up again.

bleh.

in advanced, i dont' see why actions wouldn't be legal. there might be some concern in basic though.

Trash talking is sooo much fun isnt it :) (especially when your not involved).

Actions are fine PROVIDED THEY ARE LEGAL ACTIONS and, would be well recieved by SC if editing steps are ever required :)
